Title Performance Analysis of a Distributed Approach to Interference Mitigation in LE 802.16 Systems Date Submitted

This document describes a distributed approach to interference mitigation for 802.16 LE systems. The scheme applies to 802.16 systems operating on a single channel; each BS in the system remains silent for some period of time to facilitate access to the medium by other BSs in the area. The performance of this distributed approach is compared with the performance than can be obtained if full-knowledge of the system is known. The results show that the full system knowledge in conjunction with intelligent scheduling can result in quite good overall system performance; the distributed approach, however, does not achieve such good levels of performance. More work is required to improve the performance of this distributed approach.
