A Joint User Selection and Resources Optimization Scheduling Algorithm for CoMP

Abstract

Coordinated Multi-point (CoMP) transmission technology is one of the key techniques in LTE-Advanced, Which can share the channel and data information in multiple cells, and optimize the whole system performance. In order to optimize the average sector throughput and improve the fairness of resource scheduling, a scheduling algorithm based on the resource is mainly investigated. In this algorithm, users in the network are classified firstly and then we combine the fixed resources division and flexible scheduling. System level simulation platform is set up to validate the algorithm and the results turn out that the average throughput is better compared with the traditional scheme.
