Abstract

A defining characteristic of a wireless channel is its broadcast nature. In addition, the limited wireless spectrum resource constrains many wireless devices to share the same communication channel, thus inducing mutual inter-user interference. As the interference restricts the reusability of the spectrum resource and the performance among communicating entities, it has always been a critical issue in the deployment of any wireless system. In a multicell environment, the inter-user interference can come from two sources: other devices in the same cell, i.e., intra-cell interference, and co-channel interference from other cells, i.e., inter-cell interference (ICI).
