On Modeling and Analysis of a Coded OFDMA Downlink in a Multi-Cell Environment

In this paper a coded OFDMA downlink concept in a multi-cell environment is analyzed. A resource management can be applied for the downlink transmission scheme and this can improve the performance for low system loads. The paper also examines the use of a time/frequency hopping component. For reducing simulation complexity, the Gaussian approximation is investigated as an assumption for the existing inter-cell interference. Simulation results are given to determine the effectiveness of the proposed resource management, time/frequency hopping, and the assumed interference approximation.
