Abstract

SummaryIn this paper, a dynamic and location‐based power allocation mechanism is proposed which could be adopted at both macrocell (MC) and overlaid fixed/mobile small cells (SCs) to mitigate inter‐cell interference (ICI) effects in heterogeneous cellular networks (HetCNs). The proposed Dynamic Power Allocation based on User Location (DPAUL) mechanism allows both MCs and deployed fixed/mobile SCs to dynamically allocate transmit power to its serving base stations (BSs) based on the location of a user in the cell. The paper illustrates the mitigation of dynamic downlink interferences occurring due to the mobility of SCs and users. The mobility of cell and its users is analyzed by introducing the Cell‐User mobility (CUM) model in the network. The proposed DPAUL mechanism is compared with the authors' other ICI mitigation techniques: Dynamic Fixed Region Cooperation (DFRC) and Dynamic Power Allocation Mechanism (DPAM). The network metrics Sumrate, User throughput, Energy‐efficiency, and Outage probability are investigated with allocation of sub 6 GHz and mmWave spectrums at MCs and fSCs/mSCs, respectively.
