Further Research on Frequency Allocation (19-Cell System) Method based on IFR and FFR

Abstract

Many of the most advanced technology has a basic need for efficient telecommunication. In order to achieve this goal, the team should allocate those frequency channels in an intelligent way so that the interference can be reduced to the maximum extent. Here the team introduced a new method based on IFR3&IFR1  (Integer frequency reuse) in a 19-cell network, but also apply the FFR (fractional frequency reuse) method to reduce the interference ulteriorly. In the pure IFR situation, the integer frequency reuse factor and the cellular network specification collectively decide the network capacity. While in FFR only a fraction of the whole bandwidth is used by the users in the edge. By contrast, the users near the BS can make use of the total bandwidth. The cell is divided into an outer and an inner part in this effective way. Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and its derivative method are accepted widely in the downlink (DL) inter-cell interference coordination(ICIC) schemes. The team also optimized the FFR method by measuring the distance in a more precise way. The team utilized Matlab to make a simulation of the system applying the new method and come to a couple of reasonable conclusions by comparing the FFR+IFR3 with FFR+IFR3. FFR+IFR3 has a better performance against FFR+IFR1 in a system whose distance between each cell is with more accuracy. While the average number of users per cell and transmission power for cell edge have little impact on average capacity. When the SNR increases, the network capacity starts steep but later flattens. Our method is more intelligent and can minish interference efficiently.
