Interference Suppression and eICIC Technology

It is well known that the performance of cellular systems is limited due to the presence of intercell interference. The intercell interference problem naturally results in a lowering of the data rates achievable for users at the edges of the cell, especially in an overlaid co-channel deployment between the macro evolved Node-Bs (MeNBs) and low-power nodes. Transmissions to users with low signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) require information redundancy and hence a low code rate ...
