Abstract

Lots of attention to achieve cell edge performance has been made in future wireless networks. Through multi-cell coordination clustering, we can reduce co-channel interference, resulting in cell edge performance improvement. This letter proposes a periodic frequency band rotation clustering scheme for joint transmissions in multi-cell configuration. Through mathematical interference analysis, we show that the inter-cluster interference can be reduced and cell edge data rate is improved over existing schemes.
