Figure 4From: Combined transmit beamforming and channel-aware scheduling for interference mitigation in femtocellsRate cumulative distribution function for FUE 1 (blue) and FUE 2 (red) when 2-bit mode 1 is applied with different beamforming methods and various background noise regimes. (a) (FAP 1 ego/FAP 2 alt). (b) (FAP 1 ego/FAP 2 ego). Interference scenario: γ ¯ 1 → 1 =(15−Δ) dB, γ ¯ 1 → 2 =(0−Δ) dB, γ ¯ 2 → 1 =(15−Δ) dB, and γ ¯ 2 → 2 =(20−Δ) dB. All cases: P N used as reference power. Solid: Δ=10 dB (strong background noise regime). Dashed: Δ=0 dB (reference background noise regime). Dotted: Δ=−10 dB (weak background noise regime). Scheduling criterion: γ ̂ th ( c ) (all cases). Threshold selection: FUE 2 is 30% of time silent.Back to article page
