Abstract
Coverage and capacity are optimized in fifth generation (5G) networks by small base station (SBS) distribution in the coverage realm of macro base station (MBS). However, system performance is significantly reduced by inter-cell interference (ICI) because of the orthogonal frequency division multiple access assumption. In addition to ICI, this work considers intentional jammers' interference (IJI) due to the presence of jammers. These Jammers try to inject undesirable energies into the legitimate communication band, which significantly degrade uplink (UL) signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). To reduce ICI and IJI, in this work, we employ SBS muting, where the SBSs near MBS are switched off. To further mitigate ICI and IJI, we use one of the effective interference management schemes a.k.a reverse frequency allocation (RFA). We presume that due to mitigation in ICI and IJI, the UL coverage performance of the proposed network model can be further improved.
