Implementation of DRAMA in Macrocell Network

Abstract

In this paper, Modified-Dynamic Resource Allocation Management Algorithm is implemented in macrocell network. Previously, the algorithm was developed for heterogeneous network with both smallcell and macrocell network. The increasing number of network nodes in wireless cellular communication has increased the demand of proper resource allocation in heterogeneous network. Inter-cell interference is still considered as one of the most challenging issues in vast deployment of mobile base stations in urban and sub-urban areas. In LTE and LTE-A network, spectrum sharing and leasing mandated by huge number of base stations (indoor and outdoor) deployed, has an adverse effect on systems throughput and quality of service. Advances in resource management strategies has improved the interference scenarios in vast scale. A modified dynamic resource allocation management algorithm for macrocell network is proposed here to counter the intercell interference. Simulation environment is developed to study the performance of M-DRAMA for the marcoell network. The performance analysis shows that higher number of users get quality coverage at high node density.
