| Abstract | Human communication, received through physical senses, is often a symmetric service. On other occasions, only certain feedback is needed for multisensory communication but even in these cases a minimum throughput is needed in the uplink for signaling purposes. In this paper, the joint uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) binary rate that can be achieved by realistic spectral efficiencies as signaled by channel quality indicators in LTE have been studied. Specifically, symmetric binary rate gathers both uplink and downlink capacities while forcing them to be reached simultaneously in order to carry the bidirectional information flow. We assume a two-tier heterogeneous cellular network with macro and pico Base Stations (BS) and User Equipments (UE) uniformly distributed. Downlink transmission to a UE could be associated to its nearest base station or to that BS from which the average received power is maximum. In the later case, certain bias could be added to the power received from the small cells in order to offload users from macro to pico BSs. Realistic limits to users simultaneously active in a cell are included in the evaluation. Regarding uplink, it has been considered two options. As current networks, uplink association can be coupled to that in downlink. However, uplink association might also be decoupled from that of DL and UL transmission carried out over that path with minimum losses. This possibility would reduce interference after fractional power control (FPC). Results for rate coverage, spectral efficiency, and binary rate for marginal uplink, marginal downlink, and joint uplink/downlink has been obtained from simulations as a function of diverse system parameters. Besides averaging, fairness measurements have also been studied. Results show that taking into account limits on the maximum spectral efficiency and on the number of simultaneous active users within a cell strongly modifies results on joint binary rate. Although spectral efficiency of DL is maximum for average criteria, its DL binary rate is not necessarily the highest as many macro users get inactive. Moreover, for realistic 3GPP path loss models, decoupled DL/UL association does not improve results enough to be worthwhile. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
