Inter-tier Interference Suppression in Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks
Incorporating cloud computing into heterogeneous networks, the heterogeneous
cloud radio access network (H-CRAN) has been proposed as a promising paradigm
to enhance both spectral and energy efficiencies. Developing interference
suppression strategies is critical for suppressing the inter-tier interference
between remote radio heads (RRHs) and a macro base station (MBS) in H-CRANs. In
this paper, inter-tier interference suppression techniques are considered in
the contexts of collaborative processing and cooperative radio resource
allocation (CRRA). In particular, interference collaboration (IC) and
beamforming (BF) are proposed to suppress the inter-tier interference, and
their corresponding performance is evaluated. Closed-form expressions for the
overall outage probabilities, system capacities, and average bit error rates
under these two schemes are derived. Furthermore, IC and BF based CRRA
optimization models are presented to maximize the RRH-accessed users' sum rates
via power allocation, which is solved with convex optimization. Simulation
results demonstrate that the derived expressions for these performance metrics
for IC and BF are accurate; and the relative performance between IC and BF
schemes depends on system parameters, such as the number of antennas at the
MBS, the number of RRHs, and the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio
threshold. Furthermore, it is seen that the sum rates of IC and BF schemes
increase almost linearly with the transmit power threshold under the proposed
CRRA optimization solution
Passive Loop Interference Suppression in Large-Scale Full-Duplex Cellular Networks
Loop interference (LI) in wireless communications, is a notion resulting from
the full-duplex (FD) operation. In a large-scale network, FD also increases the
multiuser interference due to the large number of active wireless links that
exist. Hence, in order to realize the FD potentials, this interference needs to
be restricted. This paper presents a stochastic geometry model of FD cellular
networks where the users and base stations employ directional antennas. Based
on previous experimental results, we model the passive suppression of the LI at
each FD terminal as a function of the angle between the two antennas and show
the significant gains that can be achieved by this method. Together with the
reduction of multiuser interference resulting from antenna directionality, our
model demonstrates that FD can potentially be implemented in large-scale
directional networks.Comment: to appear in Proc. IEEE SPAWC 201
