Power Efficiency of Partial Frequency Reuse for Cellular Networks

Speaker: Christoph F. Mecklenbräuker, Institute of Telecommunications

Talk Title: Power Efficiency of Partial Frequency Reuse for Cellular Networks

Abstract: We apply constrained optimization techniques to optimally allocate bandwidth and transmit power to the users in a cellular network. We utilize partial frequency reuse as inter-cell interference mitigation technique considering multiple users uniformly distributed in the cell. The maximization of the minimum rate is used to optimally allocate the bandwidth and power to the users. Simulation results indicate that partial frequency reuse is more power efficient than reuse-1 or reuse-3.

Biography: Christoph Mecklenbräuker received the Dipl-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from Vienna University of Technology in 1992 and the Dr.-Ing. degree from Ruhr-University of Bochum in 1998, respectively. His doctoral thesis was awarded with the Gert Massenberg Prize. From 1997-2000, he worked for Siemens AG Austria where he was a delegate to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and engaged in the standardisation of the radio access network for UMTS. Since June 2000, he was a senior researcher at the Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (ftw.) in the field of mobile communications. Between 2006 and 2009, he coordinated the Sixth Framework project "Multiple-Access Space-Time Coding Testbed" (MASCOT). He lead the Special Interest Group on mobile-to-mobile communications within COST Action 2100 Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless Communications. In 2006, he joined the Institute of Communications and Radio Frequency Engineering at Vienna University of Technology as a full professor. Since July 2009 and leads the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Wireless Technologies for Sustainable Mobility. His current research interests include radio interfaces for future peer-to-peer networks (car-to-car communications, personal area networks, and wireless sensor networks), ultra-wideband radio (UWB) and MIMO-OFDM based transceivers (UMTS long term evolution, WiMax, and 4G). Christoph Mecklenbräuker is a member of the IEEE, the Antennas and Propagation Society, the Vehicular Technology society, the Signal Processing society, and EURASIP. He is the councilor of the IEEE Student Branch Wien. He is associate editor of the EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing.
