Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new frequency allocation method for improvement of edge and low 5% user throughputs. Although many kinds of inter cell interference mitigation methods have been proposed, those have still high complexity of implementation. The proposed algorithm has lower complexity and higher edge user throughput than conventional algorithms since the same frequency allocation method is applied in all cell. Finally, we analyze and compare the edge and low 5% user throughputs using a system level simulation (SLS).
