Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic fractional frequency reused cell architecture that simplifies the problem of subcarrier allocation with frequency reuse in multicell OFDMA networks. The architecture divides the cell surface into two overlapping geographical regions and orthogonally allocates subcarriers, which are called super and regular group of subcarriers, to the regions. The proposed architecture allows a frequency reuse factor of 1 with reduced inter-cell interference and increased trunking gain, while satisfying minimum data rate requirements. We also propose an efficient hierarchical solution to realize the proposed architecture. The solution first allocates subcarriers to the groups so that long term performance is maximized and next opportunistically schedules subcarriers to the users. The opportunistic scheduling is performed at the base stations considering the fairness requirements of the users. Simulation results illustrate the performance improvements of the proposed solution in comparison to the traditional frequency allocation schemes.
