Small-Cell Interference Coordination in 5G Networks

Ever Since the future fifth generation (5G) mobile networks broadband was introduced, many researchers, engineers, and technicians questioned the challenges and problems associated with this promising deployment of cellular networks. As Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) produced by the usage of the same spectrum which creates major issues by reducing the system output and network capacity as well as some other challenges which need to be addressed by the engineers. In this Book, we tackle the resource and power division problem in multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) networks such as 5G, LTE/LTE-A networks, and dense small cell networks. Also, we will provide a hybrid ICIC scheme as a negotiation between the integrated and the decentralized methodologies. For a cluster of adjacent cells, resource and power allocation decisions are made collectively. This book targets the academic researchers as well as the engineers and technicians who are interested in Fifth Generation (5G) networks and those who are interested in providing a solution for the problems mentioned above.
