The present invention proposes a technique for managing inter-cell interference by allocating resources in a frequency domain and a time domain. According to the present invention, resources are allocated based on the SFR in the frequency domain, and resources are allocated based on the ABS in the time domain.
1 is a diagram for explaining a method for managing inter-cell interference according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), according to an embodiment of the present invention, a frequency band is allocated in a macro cell and a picocell based on SFR in a frequency domain. As shown in the figure, the macro cell coverage is divided into a cell center region (hereinafter abbreviated as a "center region") and a cell edge region (hereinafter referred to as an "edge region" , Respectively, denoted as C1, C2 and C3 and E1, E2 and E3, respectively. It is assumed that the entire frequency band is divided into three sub-bands, i.e., frequency sub-bands A, B and C. In the macro cell, different frequency subbands are allocated according to the macro cell area based on the SFR. In the center region, the frequency reuse factor of 1 is used, while in the edge region, the frequency reuse factor of 3 is used. Therefore, the entire frequency band is used in the C1, C2, and C3 regions, and the frequency subbands A, B, and C are used in the edge regions E1, E2, and E3, respectively. Also, in the case of the center area in the macro cell, transmission power is lowered and transmitted, thereby increasing the overall system efficiency.
1 (b) shows the transmission resource allocation for the edge region of the macrocell. In this situation, the picocell selects a subband that is not used in the macrocell area. For example, when the picocell is in the E1 region, the macrocell uses the frequency A subbands, and so uses the B and C subbands. However, since all the frequency bands are used in the center area of the macro cell, all the frequency bands are used when the picocell is in the center area of the macro cell. Table 1 summarizes these results.

2 is a diagram for explaining a method for managing inter-cell interference according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As described in FIG. 1, when resources are allocated in the frequency domain, resource allocation in the frequency domain is performed in all the frequency bands when the picocell is in the central region of the macrocell, The interference problem still exists. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, additionally allocating resources by applying ABS in a time domain solves cross-tier interference. That is, the interfering macrocell uses ABS, which does not transmit signals during some subframes for picocells that are more susceptible to interference. Thus, the picocell can transmit interference during the ABS period of the macrocell to avoid interference.
For example, as shown in the figure, when there are

In order to evaluate the performance improvement of the inter-cell interference management method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the following techniques are compared and analyzed. Hereinafter, performance against the interference technique indicated by "No ICIC", "SFR" and "SFR + ABS" will be compared. No ICIC (inter-cell interference coordination) is a technique for randomly allocating resources to both macrocells and picocell users. In addition, SFR is a technique of allocating resources using only SFRs in the frequency domain among the invented techniques, and SFR + ABS is a technique of allocating resources using both SFRs and ABSs in frequency and time domains, respectively to be.
8 is a graph showing a received SINR cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a macrocell user.
Referring to FIG. 8, when only the SFR is applied in the inventive technique, a pico-cell user device (a user device registered in a pico-cell) installed in a macro-cell edge region as well as a co- The cross-tier interference between the macrocell and the picocell user equipment is reduced by using the subcarrier that is not used by the macrocell user equipment (user equipment registered in the macrocell) located in that area. Therefore, it can be seen that the interference of the cell edge is remarkably reduced and the SINR performance is improved. Since the picocell transmits at low power, the influence of the interference received by the macrocell is small. However, in the case of applying not only the SFR but also the ABS in the center area of the macro cell, the user installed in the center area of the macro cell uses ABS in the time area which is not used by the macro cell user device located in the area, Lt; / RTI >
On the other hand, in the case of No ICIC, subcarriers are randomly allocated to both the macro cell user equipment and the picocell user equipment. Co-tier interference occurs when user equipment at different cell edges use the same subcarrier, and between the user devices that are very close to each other, regardless of the subcarrier used by the macrocell user equipment Cross-tier interference occurs when a cell user equipment is used. Therefore, the effect of cross-tier interference as well as co-tier interference is much greater than that of the proposed technique, which does not improve SINR performance.
9 is a graph showing the received SINR CDF of the picocell user equipment. Referring to FIG. 9, it can be seen that the performance is improved in the order of No ICIC, SFR, and SFR + ABS in the same manner as the SINR performance of the macrocell user equipment. However, unlike the macro cell user equipment, it can be seen that the SFR + ABS has a large SINR improvement. This is because not only the performance at the cell edge when applying SFR but also the cross-tier interference caused by the macro cell through ABS is reduced.
10 is a graph showing the received SINR CDF of a total user equipment combining a macrocell user device and a picocell user device. As shown in FIG. 10, it can be seen that the interference management method according to the embodiment of the present invention improves the reception SINR performance of all users compared to other schemes.
11, 12, and 13 are graphs for explaining performance according to the interference management technique. 11 and 12 are graphs showing the spectral efficiency CDFs of the macro cell user and the picocell user, respectively. And FIG. 13 is a graph showing the spectral efficiency CDF of the entire user. As shown, No ICIC, SFR, and SFR + ABS show improved spectral efficiency performance.
