EU FP7 INFSO-ICT-247223 ARTIST4G, D1.4 Interference Avoidance Techniques and System Design
Report, 2012

In this document we provide performance assessments of the most promising techniques that were studied within Work Package 1 (WP1) of the ARTIST4G project related to interference avoidance. The results are based on evolved techniques that were identified and classified in deliverable D1.1 and investigated in deliverable D1.2 and D1.3, as well as novel alternative techniques that are introduced and assessed in this document. Based on the insights from these performance results we provide a synthetic perspective over the most promising solutions for interference avoidance. We argue that these solutions can reach a satisfactory trade-off in terms of performance benefits vs complexity of implementation. Some of these techniques are also identified as complementary techniques towards an integrated interference avoidance concept.
