Interference management and resource sharing in moving networks

Abstract

<p>Cellular users on-board vehicles often experience low quality of service (QoS) due to the vehicular penetration loss. Hence, the so-called mobile-cells (MCs) have been proposed as a solution. The envisaged MCs will require additional radio resources, which will lead to poor spectral efficiency. This study proposes new methods by which MCs can share the resources of the other links. Firstly, this study presents resource sharing algorithms according to which, MC's access-link (AL) will share resources either with the backhaul-link (BL) or with a conventional user. Secondly, it proposes a scheme for controlling AL transmit power to reduce the interference caused to BL while maintaining the QoS for the in-vehicle users.</p>
