Mobile network operators are facing the challenge to increase network capacity and satisfy the growth in data traffic demands. In this context, long‐term evolution (LTE) networks, LTE‐advanced networks, and future mobile networks of the fifth generation seek to maximise spectrum profitability by choosing the frequency reuse‐1 model. Owing to this frequency usage model, advanced radio resource management and power allocation schemes are required to avoid the negative impact of interference on system performance. Some of these schemes modify resource allocation between network cells, while others adjust both resource and power allocation. In this study, the authors introduce a cooperative distributed interference management algorithm, where resource and power allocation decisions are jointly made by each cell in collaboration with its neighbouring cells. Objectives sought are: increasing user …
