Scheduling in dense small cells with successive interference cancellation

Abstract

Smart interference management has been receiving attention to improve network throughput. Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is one of the promising techniques, which allows multiple concurrent transmissions from different transmitters to the same receiver. We study the scheduling issue with SIC in dense small cells. This paper proposes a novel scheduling framework, which facilitates us to develop practical algorithms to find the solution. © 2014 IEEE.
