System Level Performance of a Novel Dynamic CoMP Scheduling in 3GPP LTE-Advanced Heterogeneous Networks

摘要

With the rapid development of 3GPP specifications and standardization, more and more researchers are concentrating in the related areas. As the cell-edge user performance gradually becomes the restriction of total cell performance, Coordinated Multipoint Transmission/Reception (CoMP) is raised to solve the problem. Previous research about CoMP has proved the effectiveness in improving the cell-edge performance but related work about scheduling is still uncertain. In this paper, we raised a novel scheduling method in LTE-Advanced heterogeneous networks scenario which is an extension from normal scheduling scenario. From fairness point of view, the novel method proved to be fairness and the performance of the method under the evaluation of LTE system level simulation proved to be effective and better than that in 3GPP specification. Complexity of the novel method also proved to be acceptable according to the simulation result.
