Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel frequency reuse method using the fractional frequency reuse (FFR) for enterprise femtocell networks (EFNs) in which a lot of femtocell base stations (fBSs) are deployed in a buinding, e.g., business companies, department stores, etc, and evaluate the system performance for the downlink of EFNs. First, we introduce the concept of the split reuse method to allocate the frequency bandwidth with considering the interference between the macrocell and femtocell. Then, we propose the resource allocation with the FFR for fBSs of EFNs to reduce the interference and increase the system capacity. Through simulations, we show that the proposed FFR method outperforms a traditional resource allocation method with frequency reuse factor 4 in terms of the mean fUE capacity, total EFN capacity, and outage probability.
