Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is an interference coordination technique well-suited to OFDMA based wireless networks wherein cells are partitioned into spatial regions with different frequency reuse factors. This work focuses on evaluating the two main types of FFR deployments: Strict FFR and Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR). Relevant metrics are discussed, including outage probability, network throughput,...
This paper presents a joint study of several intercell interference coordination strategies considering both static and dynamic approaches, and with different adjustments in their basic parameters. A wide evaluation is presented with special emphasis on the efficiency vs. fairness tradeoff. Besides, additional performance metrics have been considered as enablers of a full understanding of the strengths...
Performance of next generation OFDM/OFDMA based Distributed Cellular Network (ODCN) where no cooperation based interference management schemes are used, is dependent on four major factors: 1) spectrum reuse factor, 2) number of sectors per site, 3) number of relay station per site and 4) modulation and coding efficiency achievable through link adaptation. The combined effect of these factors on the...
In this paper, a multi-cell multi-user MIMO scheme with advanced user pairing and scheduling algorithm is proposed to effectively explore multi-user diversity and to combat both intra-cell and inter-cell interference in the downlink of wireless communication systems. The optimality of the proposed user paring and scheduling algorithm is shown under generalized proportional fair metrics. System-level...
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...
