Abstract

We consider a mixed numerology spectrum sharing (SS) system where the users have different subcarrier spacing (SCS). Unlike in single numerology SS systems, mixed numerology SS systems suffer from inter-numerology interference (INI). We first derive the interference pattern and find that the variance of interference energy increases due to the difference in SCS. This increase in variance negatively affects decoding performance, since the interference energy is unbalanced between subcarriers. However, previous works on this issue did not take this interference pattern into account for interference management. In order to suppress the increase in variance of the interference energy, we propose a transceiver structure for large SCS users by using simple cyclic shift and frequency shift operations. The proposed transceiver disperses the effect of INI, reducing the variance in the interference energy. From the derived distribution characteristics of the interference energy in closed-form expressions, we show that the proposed transceiver achieves better decoding performance.
