Resumo


Redes celulares de geração futura (5G) são esperadas para fornecer acesso de banda larga para um número continuamente crescente de usuários móveis. A densificação das redes celulares apresenta-se como uma solução promissora para aumentar a eficiência espectral. No entanto, a interferência inter-celular ainda representa um desafio que limita o desempenho do sistema, especialmente para usuários localizados na borda da célula. Este artigo faz uma breve revisão das técnicas de ICIC no downlink LTE-A de redes móveis celulares para reduzir o impacto da interferência e melhorar o desempenho. Os resultados de simulação mostram as vantagens e as limitações das técnicas eICIC e FeICIC em comparação com um cenário sem controle de interferência.
