Abstract

Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) Hybrid network integrates Femtocell and Macrocell networks to obtain better coverage and improved capacity. One of the limiting factors faced by Hybrid network is Inter-Cell Interference (ICI). One way to get rid of the ICI is through Inter-Cell Interference coordination technique. In the last few years, interference coordination such as Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) technique is considered as the utmost important research topic in LTE cellular technology. This paper revisited FFR method and deployed Dynamic Femtocell Resource Allocation (DFRA) scheme to ensure the resources assigned to Femtocells are mutually exclusive with adjacent Macrousers or adjacent Femtocells. Furthermore, in the scenario of high density Femtocells (when orthogonal resource exhausted), the power control schemes such as Power based Femtocell Base Station Power Control (PPC), SINR based Femtocell Base Station Power Control (SPC) and SINR based Neighboring Femtocell Power Control (SNPC) are integrated into the system. The deployment of the schemes has augmented the performance of the network and shows increment of 11.43% supported active users with an average data rate inclined by 22.19 Mbps.
