Abstract:We evaluate our previously reported joint power and frequency-domain inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) method for heterogeneous networks where low transmissionpower pico base stations (BSs) overlay onto a high transmission-power macro BS. In the previously reported method, to protect users connected to a pico BS from interference from a high-power macro BS, we define a protected band, which is exclusively used by only pico BSs. In the remaining non-protected band, we employ soft fractional frequency … Show more
