Performance Analysis of Reuse-Partitioning-Based Subchannelized OFDMA Uplink Systems in Multicell Environments

Abstract

This paper presents a performance analysis of reuse partitioning (RUP)-based subchannelized orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) uplink systems in multicell environments. The cochannel interference (CCI) statistic is calculated for OFDMA uplink systems. The derived statistic is then used to analyze the performance of subchannelized OFDMA systems based on RUP. Analysis and simulation results show that the performance of a subchannelized OFDMA system in multicell environments is noticeably dependent on the CCI, and the effect of CCI can be reduced by the RUP scheme. Finally, the results of the analysis yield the optimum RUP area for achieving the maximum system throughput.
