In this paper, we consider the downlink of a cognitive radio network where a cognitive base station serves multiple cognitive users on the same frequency band as a group of primary transceivers. The cognitive base station uses an orthogonal scheduling scheme (TDMA/FDMA) to serve its users. For this purpose, the base station is interested in acquiring an estimate of the interference (from the primary...
Dynamic spectrum access has recently attracted interest for better utilisation of reserved frequency bands. Quality of service issues have to be addressed in these systems in the presence of multipath fading. This is especially the case when the number of users in the secondary system grow. Multi-user resource scheduling is critical to mitigate the issue. In this work, we consider scheduling for dynamic...
In this paper, we consider the frequency reuse issue in the downlink of a multi-cell OFDMA system. We first implement the static frequency reuse scheme in the OFDMA sub-carrier assignment over the multi-cell system in order to control the inter-cell interference. Then, we add the random access sub-band to adopt the dynamic frequency reuse. The main purpose of introducing the random access sub-band...
IMT-advanced systems of the future will be based on OFDMA and frequency divicion duplex will be widely used. Multihop techniques, e.g. the use of fixed relays, are also considered a key technology. The OFDMA resources have the dimensions time, frequency and space. In all these dimensions a radio channel is variable due to fading. On the other hand a complete utilization of the channel capacity close...
This paper addresses the design of joint multi-cell resource allocation and scheduling with coordination among neighboring base stations (BS). Considering Ns neighboring sectors, the solution that maximizes the sum-rate in the covered area is found for TDMA and TDMA/OFDMA access. The optimum solution exhibits low complexity as it presents the useful property that its computation admits a decomposition...
Recently, several works have pointed out the negative impact of intercell interference variation on the performance of link adaptation in multi-cell single input single output (SISO) systems. However, the performance of adaptive precoder selection in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks in the presence of interference variation is much less understood. In this paper we develop a...
In this paper we present an interference aware phased scheduling strategy for a soft frequency reuse (SFR) interference coordination scheme in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) network. It groups the active user terminals (UT) in a low and high signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) group and picks UTs from both groups in each scheduling round to optimally exploit the...
