On the Frequency Allocation for Coordinated Multi-Point Joint Transmission

Main purpose of this paper is to investigate the frequency allocation schemes combined with a downlink Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) joint transmission system. We suggest 6-sector directional antenna and according sector based frequency reuse scheme for CoMP system, and compare the edge user performance of conventional Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) systems and suggested CoMP system. The numerical results show that the suggested scheme is better than the conventional FFR systems in the performance and the energy efficiency perspectives.
