Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a joint power and frequency-domain inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) method for heterogeneous networks where low transmission-power pico base stations (BSs) overlay onto a high transmission-power macro BS. To protect users connected to a pico BS from interference from high-power macro BS, we define the protected band, which is exclusively used by only pico BSs. At the remaining non-protected band, we employ the soft fractional frequency reuse (SFR) so that the macro-to-macro ICIC is achieved. With this frequency usage, we employ adaptive transmission power control to the non-protected band at macro BS and control of the bandwidth allocation to protected band simultaneously from a viewpoint of proportional fairness (PF). The proposed method is achieved with very limited information exchange between BSs. Computer simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to conventional approaches under various system conditions.
