Abstract
We propose joint employment of power control and almost blank subframes (ABSF) for femtocells to mitigate the interference of femto-cells to a macrocell in heterogeneous networks. We obtained improved performance in terms of both femtocells capacity and reduced interference by computer simulations while we have marginally decreased overall network capacity compared to possibly maximum capacity.
