Abstract

The investigation of co-channel interference mitigation techniques (such as, interference cancellation through receiver processing, interference randomization by frequency hopping, and interference avoidance through resource usage restrictions imposed by frequency and power planning) has become a key focus area in achieving dense spectrum reuse in next generation cellular systems such as 3GPP LTE, LTEadvanced, and WiMAX. In this paper, we propose an interference avoidance scheme for LTE downlink that uses dynamic inter-cell coordination facilitated through X2 interface among neighbouring evolved UTRAN nodeBs (eNBs, i.e., LTE base stations). Proposed scheme is evaluated by extensive simulations and compared with a number of reference schemes available in the literature. It has been observed that the proposed scheme attains superior performance in terms of cell-edge and sector throughput compared to those in the reference schemes.
