Abstract:

Ultra-dense networks (UDN) can maximize spectrum utilization, Nevertheless, the unpredictable and overwhelming inter-cell interference (ICI) constitutes a new challenge. To tackle this problem, a cross-tier cooperation resource allocation for interference minimization (CCRA-IM) is proposed, which is adapted to the dynamic payload of the UDN. First, every piece of cell sub-band interference information is exchanged by the aid of cross-tier cooperation. Then the CCRA-IM allocates the high-power users to the physical resources with the lower sub-band interference of neighboring cells, which results in a decrease in the ICI. When the cell traffic is partially loaded, the CCRA-IM tries its best to reduce the power spectral density of the high-power users by allocating them more resources, which can further mitigate the ICI. Simulation results show that the CCRA-IM can work well to mitigate the ICI of the network efficiently and improve the energy efficiency in the dynamic payload of the UDN.

Key words: ultra-dense network, cross-tier cooperation, resource allocation, interference, energy efficiency
