Joint transmission in cellular networks with CoMP—Stability and scheduling algorithms

G Grebla, B Birand, P van de Ven, G Zussman - Performance Evaluation, 2015 - Elsevier
Due to the current trend towards smaller cells, an increasing number of users of cellular
networks reside at the edge between two cells; these users typically receive poor service as
a result of the relatively weak signal and strong interference. Coordinated Multi-Point
(CoMP) with Joint Transmission (JT) is a cellular networking technique allowing multiple
Base Stations (BSs) to jointly transmit to a single user. This improves the users' reception
quality and facilitates better service to cell-edge users. We consider a CoMP-enabled …
