Abstract
In the OFDMA-based downlink of wireless cellular communication networks, the intercell interference would be a key performance-limiting factor, especially for the cell edge users. To enhance the cell edge user performance, several flexible power allocation schemes have been proposed, e.g., the so-called soft frequency reuse scheme and the partial frequency reuse scheme. This paper analyzes those schemes in a very realistic multicell setting, investigates the layer 2 resource allocation algorithms that are associated to the physical layer setting, and finally gives results of the performance evaluation.
