Abstract

In this paper, we present the framework of a channel allocation (CA) and power control (PC) schemes for the minimization of interference in cross-tier 3GPP LTE networks that aim to support internet of multimedia things. Channel allocation scheme based on an interference graph preserving the minimum number of interfered MUEs by femtocells (IG-MIM) is proposed to mitigate interference amongst femtocells, and a game theory based power control algorithm is also proposed to reduce interference to surrounding macrocell users (MUEs). The proposed IG-MIM scheme constructs the interference graph based on a predefined threshold and allocates the subchannels to the femtocells that maintain the smallest number of interfered MUEs. For the power control, we design a payoff function based on the rewards from the achieved data rates and the penalties from the interference in regards to its adjacent femtocells. The simulation results show that the IG-MIM channel allocation significantly improves the SINR performance for the femtocell users (FUEs) being served; the game theory based power control decreases the power requirements of a femtocell and alleviates the interference to the MUEs.
