Optimising LTE Uplink Scheduling by Solving the Multidimensional Assignment Problem

Inter-cell interference mitigation in LTE networks is important to improve the system throughput. Upcoming Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) allow controlling multiple cells at a single location enabling novel inter-cell coordination algorithms. Coordinated recourse allocation can be used to achieve optimal spectral efficiency through reduced inter-cell interference.
