Achieving arbitrary throughput-fairness trade-offs in the inter cell interference coordination with fixed transmit power problem

Throughput/Fairness Trade offs for the iSLIP Scheduling Algorithm

High throughput and fairness consist two desirable properties when scheduling traffic in an Input-Queued crossbar switch. Unfortunately, these two goals are conflicting which makes the job of most scheduling algorithms that want to achieve both hard. Here, we investigate the trade offs between throughput and fairness for iSLIP, one of the most well-studied algorithms introduced in [4]. We study...

Achieving Inter-Cell Interference Coordination in a multi-vendor small cell LTE network

Arbitrary hardware software trade-offs

This paper discusses a novel transformation based design methodology and its use in the design of complex programmable VLSI systems. During the life cycle of a complex system the optimal trade-off between, partially, implementing in hardware or software is changing. This is due to varying system requirements (short time-to-market, low-cost, low-power etc.) and improving device technology. The p...

Inter-Cell Interference Coordination for LTE-A

Multi-layer heterogeneous network layout including small cell base stations are considered to be the key to further enhancements of the spectral efficiency achieved in mobile communication networks. It has been recognized that inter-cell interference has become the limiting factor when trying to achieve not only high average user satisfaction, but a high degree of satisfaction for as many users...

Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) Technology

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a promising standard for next-generation cellular systems targeted to have a peak downlink bit rate of 150 Mb/s. However, as adjacent cells use the same frequency, interference between adjacent cells may degrade the bit rate at cell edges, preventing sufficient throughput from being obtained. Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is a promising technology for ...
