Interference mitigation and adaptive multi-user resource allocation are among the most promising technological breakthroughs that should improve capacity of future broadband wireless communications. In a multi-cell scenario, where co-channel interference is the performance limiting factor, discrete-rate resource allocation algorithms, selecting those channels with best Signal-to-Interference and Noise-Ratio...
The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is used to signal dynamic resource assignment information in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. In the presence of numerous active users, the system performance is likely to be hindered by shortage of control channel resource. In this paper, several simple algorithms are brought forward for making efficient PDCCH resource allocation. We first propose...
Block diagonalization is a linear precoding technique which eliminates the multi-user interference at the transmitter side by creating parallel orthogonal single user links. In this technique, the transmit diversity order is fixed for each user and only power can be controlled to satisfy SINR requirements. This restricts the degrees of freedom available for resource allocation and limits the energy...
In a downlink transmission, users can benefit from the high capacity gain achieved by transmitting independent data streams from multiple antennas to multiple users sharing the same physical time-frequency resources. This technique is known as multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO). However, performance of MU-MIMO is sensitive towards propagation imperfections, such as time dispersion and inter-stream interference...
In two-tier networks consisting of a macrocell overlaid with femtocells in co-channel deployment and closed-access policy, spatial reuse is achieved at the price of severe cross-tier interference from concurrent transmissions. The lack of direct coordination between the macro and femtocells makes interference control as a challenging issue. Cognitive radio (CR) becomes a promising solution, where...
The femtocell concept is an emerging technology for deploying the next generation of the wireless networks, aiming at indoor coverage enhancement, increasing capacity and offloading the overlay macrocell traffic. One of the main challenges in short range femtocell networks is how to (re)configure the Home Node Bs (HNBs) in an autonomous manner so as to manage interference and diminish the energy consumption...
Coordinated multiple point transmission and reception (CoMP) has attracted a lot of attention recently because of its potential for multi-cell co-channel interference (CCI) mitigation and spectral efficiency increase. CoMP inevitably requires increased signaling overhead and inter-base communication. Therefore in practice, only a limited number of Base Stations (BS) can cooperate with acceptable overhead...
