Abstract:
The data traffic volumes are constantly increasing in cellular networks. Furthermore, a larger part of the traffic is generated by applications that require high data rates. Techniques including Coordinated Multipoint transmission (CoMP) can increase the data rates, but at the cost of a high overhead.

The overhead is reduced if only a subset of the users are served with CoMP. In this paper, we propose a user selection approach, including pre-selection of CoMP users and scheduling, that takes user requirements into account, and uses the fact that some users have high requirements and others have lower.

Users that require a higher data rate to reach an acceptable level of service satisfaction are selected to use coherent joint processing CoMP in some of their downlink transmission bandwidth.

Simulation results show that the number of satisfied users and fairness are improved with the proposed user selection as compared to user selection that does not consider individual user requirements.
