Title
On the link adaptation and user scheduling with HARQ in the presence of inter-cell interference
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate both link adaptation and user scheduling for an HARQ-based multi-user system in downlink multi-cell environments with inter-cell interference (ICI). First, we analyze two approximation methods on the ICI terms for optimal rate selection. One is a conventional well-known Gaussian approximation (GA) and the other is our proposed identical path-loss approximation (IPLA). Thereafter, we propose a baseline procedure for both the link adaptation and user scheduling. Then, we introduce three conventional policies and our proposed IPLA-based policy. Finally, through system-level simulations, the proposed IPLA-based policy is evaluated in terms of system throughput. Numerical results show that the traditional GA is not accurate any more in the HARQ-based multi-user system with some dominant ICIs. Instead of the GA, our proposed IPLA-based policy achieves more accurate rate selection and higher system performance.
