A Radio Resource Management scheduling algorithm for self-organizing femtocells

3GPP/LTE femtocell dense deployment scenarios set new challenges in terms of interference and Radio Resource Management (RRM). Traditional policies are mainly designed for classical cellular networks, while femtocells ad-hoc nature notably limits the possible algorithm complexity. Furthermore, efficient RRM algorithms are essential in limiting interference impact to femtocells performance. In this paper we propose a novel resource scheduling algorithm which improves spectral reuse while reducing the transmission power in each Resource Block (RB). Simulation results show that the proposed RRM scheme enhances femtocells spectral efficiency and coverage.
