Cellular OFDMA systems may suffer from various amounts of inter-cell interferences according to subcarriers. If it is possible to estimate the interference level of each subcarrier, the performance can be improved by adjusting the magnitude of channel decoder input signals inversely proportional to the interference amounts. While conventional cellular systems prefer to use interference averaging techniques for mitigating inter-cell interferences, this paper shows that localizing inter-cell interferences to the reduced number of subcarriers can significantly improve the system performance assuming thatinterference estimation can be employed. If interference estimation is not used, it is more favorable to use interference averaging techniques to avoid excessive interference levels to certain subcarriers. On the other hand, if interference estimation can be employed, interference localization is more beneficial than interference averaging.

In this paper, an intercell interference (ICI) reduction technique is proposed for OFDM-based cellular systems using the concept of virtual multiple antenna where multiple antenna techniques are performed on a set of subcarriers, not on the actual antenna array. The proposed technique is especially effective for user terminals with a single antenna at cell boundary in fully-loaded OFDM cellular systems with a frequency reuse factor equal to 1. Proposed ICI reduction techniques developed for SISO and MISO environments are shown to be robust to symbol timing offsets and efficient for various cell environments by adjusting group size depending on the number of adjacent cells. Also, the concept of a virtual signature randomizer (VSR) is introduced to improve channel separability in the virtual MIMO approach. It is shown by simulation that the proposed techniques are effective in reducing ICI and inter-sector interference compared with the conventional methods.

In this thesis, we analyze performance related to reduction scheme of intercell interference causing serious problems in wiBro system. Frequency reusing factor(FUF) is 1 in WiBro system, and it means that a adjacent cell uses same frequency band. This channel environment raises intercell interference problem, which provokes serious problems related to system performance and channel capacity. Consequently, it affects deterioration in system performance as a whole. We analyze intercell interference when appling a various schemes such as (DCA)Dynamic Channel Allocation, CS(Channel Segregation), IMUFR(Interference Mitigation Using Frequency Reuse), IDMA(Interleave Division Multiple Access), IDMA(Interleave Division Multiple Access), FH-OFDM, CRSA(Conceptual Random Subcarrier Allocation), and HDD

셀룰러 시스템에서 언제 어디서나 높은 품질의 서비스를 제공하기에 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되는 문제점 중의 하나가 바로 셀간 간섭으로 인한 성능 저하이다. 따라서, 간섭으로 인해 셀 경계에서 발생하는 성능 저하를 해결하는 것은 차세대 통신시스템 설계에서 핵심적 요소 중 하나이며, 셀의 소형화를 통해 대역 효율성을 높이고자 하는 시도와 맞물려 더욱 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 본고는 간섭을 제어하는 수단으로 다중안테나를 이용한 셀간 협력 방식인 협력 빔형성(cooperative beamforming) 방식을 살펴보고, 최근의 연구와 LTE-Advanced 표준에서의 협력 기술인 CoMP (coordinated multipoint transmission and reception)를 함께 소개한다.

In LTE-Advanced systems, every sector uses the entire range of the frequency resource, and when the UEs are located at a cell edge, user throughputs degrade due to the interferences from the adjacent cells. In this paper, we propose a combined scheme for inter-cell interference avoidance and power control. In the proposed algorithm, the sectors consist of the right edge, the left edge and the center for resource allocation and we control the transmission power to improve the user throughputs at the edge of each cell. Using a system level simulation, we analyze low 5th percentile and average user throughputs of the UEs who are located the cell, center and edge when the inter-cell interference avoidance and the power control are combined.

Femtocells are expected as the surest way to increase the system capacity with higher-quality links and more spatial reuse in future networks. In spite of their great potential, the system capacity is highly susceptible to network density because a large portion of users are exposed to inter-cell interference (ICI). In this work, we proposed a dynamic interference avoidance scheme in densely deployed cell environments. Our proposed DDIA (Distributed Dynamic ICI Avoidance) scheme not only works in a fully distributed manner, but also controls interference link connectivity of users with high agility so that it is suited for self-organizing networks (SONs). We introduced the concept of ICI-link and two-tier scheduling in designing the DDIA scheme. To avoid ICI without any central entity, our scheme tries to harmonize all base stations (BSs) with users adaptively. Through extensive simulations, it was shown that our proposed scheme improves the throughput of users by more than twice on average compared to the frequency reuse factor 1 scheme, who are exposed to ICI while maintaining or even improving overall network performance. Our scheme operates well regardless of network density and topology.

OFDM technology is already commonplace in the current mobile communication system environment. However, inter-cell interference causes many problems in the cellular system as seen from the problem caused by the surge in the use of smart phones. In this paper, we will research how user distribution influences a performance of a conventional proposed algorithm in the certain cell area and confirm it through computer simulations. As a result, we proved that there is an appropriate user distribution in the cell. In addition, it has an effect on the performance of inter-cell interference coordination.
