Abstract

In multicellular wireless networks, intercell interference limits system performance, especially cell edge user performance. One promising approach to solve this problem is the intercell interference coordination (ICIC) scheme. In this paper, we propose a new ICIC scheme based on a resource partitioning approach to enhance cell edge user performance in a wireless multicellular system. The most important feature of the proposed scheme is that the algorithm is performed at each base station in a distributed manner and therefore minimizes the required information exchange between neighboring base stations. The proposed scheme has benefits in a practical environment where the traffic load distribution is not uniform among base stations and the backhaul capacity between the base stations is limited.
