Abstract

Inter cell interference is one of the most serious problems in LTE-Advanced networks and beyond (5G). This issue is the direct result of two major features: the frequency reuse factor equal to one and the heterogeneous deployment of networks (HetNets). Many solutions have been proposed by the 3GPP project since its early Release 8 in order to mitigate interference. The most recent one is Coordinated Multi Point (CoMP) which implies that a set of transmit points provide coordinated transmission in the downlink. However, this is not possible during Handover scenarios since LTE-Advanced networks and beyond implement hard handover which requires a single connection for each user at any time. In this paper, we propose a new Handover algorithm based on CoMP joint transmission scheme in order to minimize the Inter Cell Interference (ICI). Performance evaluation results show that our proposed algorithm considerably reduces the ICI level and enhances the average throughput per user during Handover.
基于移动性的LTE-A / 5G HetNets COMP切换算法
蜂窝间干扰是LTE-Advanced及5G网络中最严重的问题之一。这个问题是两个主要特性的直接结果:频率复用系数等于1和网络的异构部署(HetNets)。为了减少干扰,3GPP项目从早期的第8版开始就提出了许多解决方案。最近的一种是协调多点(CoMP),它意味着一组传输点在下行链路中提供协调传输。然而,这在切换场景中是不可能的,因为LTE-Advanced网络和其他网络实现硬切换,这要求每个用户在任何时候都有一个单独的连接。本文提出了一种基于CoMP联合传输方案的切换算法,以减小小区间干扰(ICI)。性能评估结果表明,该算法显著降低了切换过程中的ICI水平,提高了切换过程中每个用户的平均吞吐量。
