Description
Summary:This paper discusses the need and enabling mechanisms for a heterogeneous deployment model in LTE networks, where lower power nodes are deployed in a macro network. Cell range expansion, enabled through cell biasing and adaptive resource partitioning, is seen as an effective method to balance the load among the nodes in the network and to improve overall trunking efficiency. Interference cancellation receiver plays a crucial role to ensure acquisition of weak cells and reliability of control and data reception in the presence of legacy signal. System simulations results for an FTP traffic model indicate that, for a pico cell deployment with density of 4 picos per macro cell, 40% or more performance gain can be achieved when techniques enabling cell range expansion are deployed.
