Resource allocation-aware efficient interference management technique for ultra-dense Femto environment

Addressing the challenge of severe inter-layer and intra-layer interference in densely deployed Femtocells, we introduce an efficient resource allocation strategy centered on clustering. Initially, we employ the Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) technique to mitigate interference by segmenting cells into distinct zones. Subsequently, leveraging graph theory and convex optimization, we cluster the Femto Base Stations (FBS) to enhance efficiency. An algorithm prioritizing user fairness governs sub-channel allocation among FBSs. Additionally, a distributed power control algorithm dynamically adjusts FBS power levels, further enhancing system throughput. Comparative analysis reveals that our approach surpasses traditional non-clustered methods and three other comparison methods, exhibiting superior system throughput and Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SINR). Notably, our method significantly enhances user fairness, promoting greater satisfaction among Femto User Equipment (FUE) users.
