8.2.1.5 ADVANCED INTER‐CELL INTERFERENCE COORDINATION<br />

Another simple CoMP transmission scheme which relies on resource management cooperation among<br />

eNBs for controlling inter-cell interference is an efficient way to improve the cell edge spectral efficiency.<br />

The Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) enhancement currently being studied for LTE-Advanced<br />

can be classified into dynamic Interference Coordination (D-ICIC) and Static Interference Coordination (S-<br />

ICIC). In D-ICIC, the utilization of frequency resource, spatial resource (beam pattern) or power resource<br />

is exchanged dynamically among eNBs. This scheme is flexible and adaptive to implement the resource<br />

balancing in unequal load situations. For S-ICIC, both static and semi-static spatial resource coordination<br />

among eNBs are being considered.<br />

The advanced ICIC techniques were defined in Rel-10 for Macro-Pico scenarios. Further advancement to<br />

these schemes may be studied in Rel-11 as discussed in Section 8.2.3.<br />

8.2.1.6 PERFORMANCE RESULTS<br />

Figure 8.3 shows the possible system performance gain determined from system simulation with the<br />

various CoMP techniques in the downlink. The simulations assumptions were consistent with that agreed<br />

to in 3GPP. 129 The CoMP techniques investigated include:<br />

� Coordinated Beam Switching (CBS)<br />

� Non-Coherent Joint Processing (JP-Nco)<br />

� Coherent Joint Processing (JP-Co)<br />

� CBF<br />

� Intra-Site Coherent JP<br />

Quantized feedbacks were assumed for CBS with SU-MIMO and Intra site JP with MU-MIMO while<br />

idealized feedbacks were assumed for the other schemes. Figure 8.3 illustrates that significant cell edge<br />

and cell average throughput gain is possible.<br />
