SIR based Beam Switching in Distributed Controlled Cellular Systems

SIR based beam switching in distributed controlled cellular systems is proposed to reduce intercell interference. Compared with Random beam switching that beam switching pattern is randomly selected and cannot avoid beam collision between neighboring cell, SIR based beam switching update its switching pattern based on SIR report from mobile. Neighboring cells independently update their switching patterns and the updated patterns converge to the patterns that minimize beam collision. We shows SIR base beam switching has 20% gain compared with random beam switching in two neighboring cell model.
