Abstract:In this paper, we investigate a preference-aware multicast mechanism in active array aided LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. An active antenna system can direct vertical beams in different horizontal and vertical directions, so the amount of energy delivered is more concentrated on the target users. Employing the active array, each multicast group is provided with an individual beam with specific downtilt for delivering shared video to the whole users in the group. For the multicast system, our objective is … Show more
