Abstract
Heterogeneous networking is a promising solution for improving wireless coverage, relieving overcrowded bandwidth, and enhancing system throughput for next-generation wireless networks. However, one of the main concerns to put through heterogeneous networks is the interference among overlaid cells. In this paper, we consider femtocell uplink transmissions with dynamic and short-period interference (also called shot interference) from macrocell users. It is shown that, without the information on interferer channels between femtocells and macrocells at any base station, femtocell networks suffer from severe performance degradation when they adopt orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) or single-carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) techniques. To mitigate the stringent shot interference, we propose a precoded FDMA (P-FDMA) transmission with novel detectors. Our results show that the proposed designs collect multipath diversity in the presence of interference without the knowledge of interferer channels, and our designs are robust to the power levels of shot interference. Simulation results validate our theoretical findings.
