Inter-Cell Interference Coordination for LTE-A

A Survey on Inter-Cell Interference Co-ordination Techniques of LTE Networks

-The Long term evolution (LTE) is a latest technology standardized by 3 rd generation partnership project (3GPP) to fulfill the growing demands of the users like high data rates in downlink and uplink, low cost, high spectral efficiency etc. Due to the growing demand for high data rate there is need to focus on frequency reuse i.e. reuse-1 so that we can get complete spectrum with in a cell. Bu...

A Comprehensive Survey on Various ICIC Schemes and Proposed 3G RF Interference Mitigation Techniques for OFDM Downlink on Cellular Networks

Inter Cell Interference (ICI) still poses a real challenge that limits the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) system performance, especially for users located at the cell edge. A common Inter Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) technique is interference avoidance in which the allocation of the various system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power) to users is contr...

Multi-Cell Interference Coordination in LTE Systems using Beamforming Techniques

The main objective of this work was to present the problem of the effect of interference in a LTE (Long-term Evolution) network and propose a solution using Beamforming, mitigating the effects of interference, increasing the quality of network coverage and thus improving the fairness of service to users. Various scenarios are proposed in order to obtain a comparison between a system with and wi...
