Turbo Base-Station Cooperation for Intercell Interference Cancellation

Interference cancellation is an important issue since the coverage and capacity in the uplink are mainly interference limited. The interference from the own cell can be mitigated by multiuser detection. However, there does not exist a powerful interference cancellation technique for the interference from neighboring cells, the intercell interference. This work proposes a technique for combating the intercell interference. Since base-stations in wireless systems are connected through a backbone network, we propose the exchange of information through the network between the base-stations, in order to help each other in the detection of the signals. We present several strategies how this could be performed. Especially, we propose an iterative way for reducing the intercell interference: The Turbo Base-Station Cooperation. Simulation results show remarkable gains, especially in the presence of a strong interferer.
