Abstract

This work is how to achieve high user throughput with high performance in congested areas by amending the existing coexistence methods and enhancing the performance metrics by updating some input metrics such as duty cycle period, energy detection threshold, data transfer period, etc. The simple topology will verify the basic concept of LTE-U/LAA coexistence with Wi-Fi. Then the indoor-crowded coexistence scenarios of LTE-LAA/U and Wi-Fi 6E in the 5 GHz will be the main idea of this study using the enhanced CAT-4 LBT algorithm design. The proposed model evaluated the coexistence performance based on CDF of throughput and latency. The transport layer of wireless communication will play a worthy role. When using the TCP protocol, the Wi-Fi throughput and latency will be more effective than the LAA operator. When using the UDP protocol, the LTE-LAA network has better throughput and latency than the Wi-Fi network. The throughput and latency for LTE-U and Wi-Fi operators are roughly identical using the FTP protocol. Overall, the throughput improved by 20, and an approximately 2 ms delay time of the handover compared to the previous research results. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
