Cell capacity prediction with traffic load effect for soft frequency reuse (SFR) technique in LTE — A network

The next generation OFDMA-based cellular network that targeted high spectrum efficiency requires the frequency reuse system as one of the solutions, such as a deployment needs a good planning as well. In this paper, an analysis of soft frequency reuse (SFR) performance under various traffic loads is another important task, in case planning a good cellular network based on cell capacity is something considered. We predict it in LTE — A Network which offers higher data rate than LTE Network. The result shows that SFR can mitigate the inter-cell interference by providing higher troughput for cell-edge users. Also, in order to achieve better performance of traffic load effect, cell radius is varied. The result indicates that troughput maximum is obtained when cell radius is 700 m.
