Abstract

Since a small cell base station (SBS) of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access heterogeneous network (HetNet) does not intend to align arriving macrocell user signals, inter-carrier interference (ICI) and inter-block interference (IBI) inevitably arise in the uplink demodulation at the SBS. This letter proposes a novel precoding scheme based on interference alignment to remove the uplink ICI and IBI in a HetNet completely. The proposed scheme is able to remove the ceiling effect on the small cell uplink rate and increase the degrees of freedom of the system. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the scheme.
