Interference management and interference cancellation are addressed in the satellite communication (SATCOM) system. We first introduce the two options for a multibeam payload: flexible (FLEX) where allocation is fully flexible in the frequency domain, and conventional on which beamforming (BF) is applied. Further, two optimization problems are proposed, P1: spectral mask vector design and power...

This paper presents a method to improve the spectral utilization in Multi-hop Relay (MMR) networks. Co-channel interference is considered as a parameter to analyze the performance of MMR (IEEE 802.16j) based relay networks. Frequency reuse technique is a way to improve the spectral utilization. Since the same frequency band is used by Relay stations and Base Station, co-channel interference wit...

Femtocells are expected to be one of the emerging technologies for next generation communication systems. For successful deployment of femtocells in the pre-existing macrocell networks, there are some challenges such as the cell planning for interference management, handoff, and power control. In this paper, we focus on frequency planning which can provide interference avoidance for the co-exis...

Femtocell networks are a promising solution to enhance the capacity of the LTE networks, especially for the indoor environments. However, unplanned deployment of the femtocells causes the co-tier interference and cross-tier interference. The interference limits the advantages of deploying the femtocell networks. The Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) concept is introduced to mitigate the effect o...

Reuse of freeform shape is of great importance in industrial design. This paper presents a novel technique for supporting reuse in freeform shape design based on signal processing approach. By treating the freeform feature as 2D surface signals, local shape manipulations are implemented by handling the corresponding Fourier spectrums. Techniques for feature retrieval are explored, and algorithm...

The paper investigates the possibility of reusing frequencies of a terrestrial digital video broadcasting (DVB-T) network for a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) with negligible influence on the DVB-T performance. A frequency division duplex (FDD) UTRAN is deployed such that it can reuse all frequencies of the DVB-T network in each DVB-T frequency reuse cluster in the downlink, with...

It is well known that the spectrum efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) of wireless network have a tradeoff relationship. In cellular networks, the same frequency is reused among a number of cells and the frequency reuse factor (FRF) considerably affects the SE-EE tradeoff relationship in terms of the co-channel interference (CCI) and network capacity. In distributed antenna network (DAN)...

Due to lack of resources such as transmission power and bandwidth in satellite systems, resource allocation problem is a very important challenge. Nowadays, new heterogeneous network includes one or more satellites besides terrestrial infrastructure, so that it is considered that each satellite has multi-beam to increase capacity. This type of structure is suitable for a new generation of commu...
