This SpringerBrief presents interference coordination techniques for
future 5G cellular networks. Starting with an overview of existing
interference management techniques, it focuses on practical interference
coordination schemes based on beamforming and user scheduling. The
proposed schemes aim to deal with the inter-cell interference in
multi-cell MIMO networks, cross-tier interference in device-to-device
communications underlaying cellular network, and inter-network
interference in cognitive radio networks. The performances of the
proposed schemes are evaluated both analytically and numerically in
terms of several performance parameters, including the sum rate,
multiplexing gain, and outage probability of the networks. The results
show that the proposed schemes can significantly reduce the effect of
interference and improve the quality of service of the networks.
Interference Coordination for 5G Cellular Networks is suitable for
researchers and advanced students interested in interference
coordination or 5G cellular networks.
