Motivation

• 4G and beyond systems adopted Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiple Access (OFDMA) air-interfacetechnology

• Dense spectrum reuse is obvious in all cellular systems

• Consequently, high inter-cell interference and itsmitigation are concerns

• Mitigation techniques:• Inter-cell interference cancellation• Inter-cell interference randomization• Inter-cell interference avoidance

• Literature focuses mainly on static or semi-staticschemes

• Our approach: dynamic interference avoidance usingnetwork level coordination

Some Interference Coordination in Literature

Reuse 1

• all resources available

• interferers are closer to each other

• worst interference condition and bestreuse opportunity

Reuse 3

• 1/3 resources available

• interferers are further apart

• proactive static interferencecoordination

Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR)

• part of the resources in the cell centerwith reuse 1

• compromise between the two

• different variants are available

Our proposed schemes are dynamic and opportunistic6

Challenges

• Problem is similar to 3AP which is NP-Complete

• Optimal solution requires centralized algorithm

• Large scale combinatorial optimization

Propose suboptimal solutions considering the following

• Fact: only neighboring interferers are of concern– we

assume, I(n)j = 1

• 4G provides cell-specific orthogonal reference signals;

i.e., determine γ(m,n)

i |I (n)k =0

; ∀k & ∀n

• Cell-edge (rate deprived) users are more prone inter-cellinterference

on users’ service status and interference avoidance gains• Hungarian algorithm is applied to UM×N to see if

Inter-eNB Inter-Cell Interference Avoidance

• Preparation of utility matrix, Uinter

• Similar to earlier scheme: selfishly prepares UM×N

• Heuristically find potential I(n)k = 0, ∀k in the inter-eNB

sectors

• Applying Hungarian algorithm to Uinter

• If a chosen entry has I(n)k = 0 marked, n is noted as to

be masked in k• Prepare lists of the resource restrictions based on users’

status

• Inter-eNB negotiations for resource restrictions• Each eNB negotiates the potential resource restrictions

by pairwise comparison• Restriction is imposed to the sector in which utility is

lower

• Resource units resulting from intra- and inter-eNBavoidance are restricted in each sector

Conclusions

• Dynamic interference coordination is formulated usingsum-utility maximization problem

• Three sub-optimal approaches have been pursued

• A unique, two-level algorithm is investigated. The cell-edgeperformance reaches close to that of Reuse 3 whilemaintaining Reuse 1 cell throughput.

• A distributed algorithm with neighboring cell coordination ispresented. The intra-eNB interference is coordinated using anovel method based on Hungarian algorithm in amulti-cellular context. The proposed schemes attains cellthroughput comparable to that in Reuse 1 while achieving acomparable to or slightly better reuse 3 cell-edge throughput.

• A cluster-based centralized scheme with different cluster sizesand utility functions is studied. The presented schemesachieve significant gain in cell-edge throughput withoutimpact on cell throughput.
