This paper provides a holistic overview of multi-cell scheduling strategies in emerging
wireless systems. Towards this objective, the evolution of interference management …

The increasing demand for mobile data traffic brings new challenges on cellular networks in
terms of network capacity and increased data throughput. In order to fulfill these demands …

In current cellular networks base stations (BSs) usually perform independent scheduling
without coordinating the resource allocation among different cells. This, however, often …

This paper provides an overview of multi-cell coordinated scheduling and multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) techniques in LTE. We first discuss single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) …

Advanced interference mitigation techniques relying on multipoint coordination have
attracted significant attention from the wireless industry and academia in the past few years …

Intercell interference management has become a critical issue for future cellular mobile
systems. Coordinated multipoint transmission/reception, or CoMP, is an effective way of …

In this article we present two promising practical use cases for simple multicell cooperation
for LTE-Advanced heterogeneous network scenarios with macro and small cells. For co …

Different technical solutions and innovations are enabling the move from macro-only
scenarios towards heterogeneous networks with a mixture of different base station types. In …

In this article, we present a practical coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system for LTE-
Advanced. In this CoMP system, cooperation is enabled for cell-edge users via dynamic …

This article presents an elaborate coordination technique among multiple cell sites called
coordinated multipoint transmission and reception in the Third Generation Partnership …
