Abstract

Coordinated Multi Point transmission and reception (CoMP) has been considered as a promising technique to enhance system throughput performance by reducing inter-cell interference (ICI) in cell edge area. Past studies showed that Joint Processing (JP) transmission mode is capable to provide much better throughput performance benefits than Coordinated Scheduling/Beamforming (CS/CB) both in homogeneous and heterogeneous networks; however, the robust strategy of resource block (RB) allocation and scheduling algorithms has to be specifically designed for CoMP-JP in a MIMO-OFDMA system. In this paper, an intuitive algorithm will be investigated in order to reach the highest overall system throughput but keep same level of fairness performance at same time. We first analyze the threshold of reference signal strength to determine the operating region for CoMP-JP user selection, and then calculate the robust ratio of RB allocation for CoMP and non-CoMP users. In final stage, the hybrid schedulers adopted specifically for the unique characteristics of CoMP and non-CoMP users will be analyzed and compared. Our results show that the threshold of reference signal strength $(\lambda, \theta)$ should both be set at -1dB for CoMP operating region, and the parameter to the ratio of CoMP users should be set at $\gamma = 0.9$ for robust RB allocation.
