Abstract

This paper considers the problem of mitigating CCI(Co-channel Interference) in cellular OFDMA downlink systems. The users in the cell-edge area suffer from large CCIs, and their SINR requirements are hard to be maintained. To guarantee their QoS, we propose a new exclusive sub-carrier allocation and power control algorithm. The performance of the proposed two-step algorithm is simulated in SUI-A path-loss model, and it is compared with that of the conventional algorithm. The simulation results show that the data transmission rate in the cell-edge area was increased by 600Kbps within the same power constraint. The results indicate that with proposed algorithm, the data rate stability can be achieved independently of the user location in the cell.

본 논문은 다중 셀 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 외곽 지역 사용자들의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하기 위해 두 단계로 이루어진 자원 할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 다중 셀 환경에서 셀 외곽 지역에 위치한 사용자들은 인접 셀에서 발생하는 동일 채널 간섭에 의한 수신 SINR(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio)의 열화가 셀 내부 지역의 사용자들에 비해 심각하다. 제안하는 기법은 인접한 셀들의 외곽 사용자들 간 배타적 부반송파 할당과 전력 재할당을 통해 동일 채널 간섭을 억제한다. 모의실험 결과 외곽 지역의 데이터 전송률을 600Kbps이상 향상시킴으로써 지역 간 불균형한 서비스 제공 현상을 완화시켜 사용자수와 사용자의 셀 내 위치에 대해 안정적인 데이터 전송률을 지원하였다.
