This SpringerBrief presents interference coordination techniques for future 5G cellular
networks. Starting with an overview of existing interference management techniques it focuses
on practical interference coordination schemes based on beamforming and user scheduling. The
proposed schemes aim to deal with the inter-cell interference in multi-cell MIMO networks
cross-tier interference in device-to-device communications underlaying cellular network and
inter-network interference in cognitive radio networks. The performances of the proposed
schemes are evaluated both analytically and numerically in terms of several performance
parameters including the sum rate multiplexing gain and outage probability of the networks.
The results show that the proposed schemes can significantly reduce the effect of interference
and improve the quality of service of the networks. Interference Coordination for 5G Cellular
Networks is suitable for researchers and advanced students interested in interference
coordination or 5G cellular networks.
