Resource management in OFDMA heterogeneous network

In this study, a Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTEa) - based multi-user Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) heterogeneous network has been simulated and a resource allocation strategy has been proposed. The strategy under consideration can inherently mitigate electromagnetic interference, hence increases the mean number of terminals, and requires no channel state information (CSI). To evaluate the performance of the network platform and the proposed strategy, the system is studied for different network orientations. According to the results, the platform is a good reality simulator, whereas owning to the proposed Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithm the mean capacity can reach a 12-fold increase especially for highly noisy operating environments.
