Method of reducing inter-cell interference in a wireless frequency division multiplexing network

摘要

Protocols for OFDM/OFDMA/SC-FDMA based wireless networks provide adaptive inter-cell interference management without explicit spectrum or frequency planning. Base stations and mobile stations acquire information about subcarrier allocation from a handoff protocol. The mobile stations can also acquire this information using cognitive sensing. Cognitive sensing can be rewarded by the base station. Using this information, subcarriers can be allocated randomly, with blind optimization, or by joint optimization. The stations can use game theory to select among the different optimization strategies.
