Title
Improving CoMP cluster feasibility by dynamic serving base station reassignment
Abstract
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission/reception, and especially Joint Processing (JP), is a promising solution for managing interference in cellular mobile access networks. Its successful deployment, however, strongly depends on the capability of the backhaul infrastructure as strict capacity and latency requirements have to be fulfilled. This paper deals with the feasibility of CoMP transmission and reception, assuming a future backhaul infrastructure that is based on Passive Optical Networks (PONs). Evaluations show that even with such optical backhaul networks, the feasibility of JP is limited, especially when load is not distributed equally in the overall network, i.e., there are hot spots. To improve the JP feasibility, and hence the performance gains for the users to which JP is applied, we propose a dynamic serving Base Station (BS) reassignment mechanism which at runtime selects the serving BS which provides the best feasible cluster. Evaluations of this approach show that 30-50 % of all users experience a doubling in the size of the cooperative cluster.
