Abstract
Next generation networks are envisaged to be heterogeneous networks (RetNets), primarily through the dense deployment of small cells in the coverage area of macro cells. RetNet leads to new cell edges with high-level inter-cell interferences (ICIs) that can be increased twice compared to the conventional cellular network design. Consequently, mitigating ICI plays a vital role in the next generation networks. Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) is an advanced communication technique that is able to mitigate the strongest ICI signals and turn them into useful signals. In CoMP, multiple macro and/or small transmission points (TPs) are involved in the transmission to cell edge users leading to further enhance performance of these users. In this paper, we investigate the downlink (DL) performance of 5G HetNet when CoMP technique is used for ICI mitigation. A system-level simulation is developed in order to evaluate and compare the DL performance of joint transmission (JT) CoMP scheme, dynamic point selection (DPS) CoMP scheme and Non- CoMP scheme. The effect of CoMP margin on the performance of CoMP technique is also investigated. Simulation results show that JT scheme outperforms DPS and Non-CoMP schemes in terms of the average DL signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), average DL spectral efficiency and outage probability. In addition, the percentage of users who use CoMP increases as CoMP margin is increased. Simulation results also show that the percentage of users whose CoMP TPs consists of one macro TP and one small TP is the highest and this percentage increases as CoMP margin is increased.
