Self-organized spectrum chunk selection algorithm for Local Area LTE-Advanced

This paper presents a self organized spectrum chunk selection algorithm in order to minimize the mutual inter-cell interference among Home Node Bs (HeNBs), aiming to improve the system throughput performance compared to the existing frequency reuse one scheme. The proposed algorithm is useful in Local Area (LA) deployment of the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, where the HeNBs are expected to be deployed randomly and without coordination in distributed manner. The result shows that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the system throughput performance with very limited signaling exchange among the HeNBs.
