Short-Term Multi-Cell Dynamic Resource Allocation in Future Cellular Networks

ABSTRACT In future cellular system, it is becoming more challenging to optimize the radio resource management and maximize the system capacity whilst meeting the required quality of service from user's point of view. Traditional schemes have approached this problem mainly focusing on resources within a cell and to large extent ignoring effects of multi-cell architecture. For multi-cell systems employing intra-cell orthogonal communication channels, inter-cell interference mitigation techniques are expected to be one of the key radio resource management functions. In this paper, we propose a multi-cell coordinated and un-coordinated dynamic resource sharing algorithms and reuse techniques among base station/ relay station cells. The sub carrier allocation and power allocation are performed on the basic of sum-rate maximization, by considering the load over the cell (3-sector cell). The simulation results show the performance comparison between both coordinated and un-coordinated resource allocation schemes with different sum-rate maximization algorithms.
