An Adaptive Spectrum Allocation Algorithm in Ultra-Dense Network

In this paper, we propose a novel method to adaptively adjust the parameter threshold used in overlapping frequency. We verify the performance of the proposed algorithm from the system simulation. Compared with the traditional network planning scheme which needs setting parameters manually, the optimal threshold is adaptively adjusted according to the distribution of the users. The simulation results show that the algorithm can improve the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) performance of users and the cell throughput when the users are distributed in the edge of cell coverage which owns the same optimization result as traditional optimization method. So the algorithm can effectively solve the decrease problem of spectral efficiency when the threshold in frequency overlap is set unreasonable and also save a lot of labour cost on setting parameters.
