Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) is one of the key concepts for mitigating inter-cell interference and improving cell-edge performance in OFDMA networks. The standard FFR scheme is intuitive and optimal for the hexagon-shaped cell pattern. In contrast, real-life OFDMA systems have very irregular cell layout, thus the number of surrounding cells and their respective interference vary significantly...
Frequency reuse is a key concept for interference mitigation and thereby enhancing cell-edge performance in OFDMA networks. Two representative strategies are Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR). Both divide a cell into a center zone and an edge zone, and differentiate their levels of frequency reuse. Previous work on FFR and SFR has focused on networks of relatively small...
Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is one of the key concepts for interference mitigation in OFDMA networks. Previous work on FFR has focused on networks of relatively small size and standard hexagon-shaped cell layout. For real-life networks with very irregular cell layout and high variation in radio propagation, standard reuse schemes (e.g., reuse with a factor three) are inadequate; applying a standard...
Soft frequency reuse (SFR) has been proposed for enhancing cell-edge performance in OFDMA networks. Previous studies of SFR have used simulations over rather small networks having hexagon-shaped cells. In this paper, we examine the expected performance gain of SFR for networks in realistic radio environments and with irregular cell patterns. We define a performance metric that allows for fast assessment...
