Scope of the Dissertation. As briefly mentioned already, the main focus of this dissertation is the design of strategies and algorithms to enhance the capacity of cellular mobile communica- tion systems. Both contributions made and research gaps identified have been derived on some of the most key pre-5G capacity-enabling technologies such as Coordinated MultiPoint, Carrier Aggregation and Heterogeneous Networks. This Ph.D. thesis comprises of six chapters. The first main chapter is ded- icated to providing a technical background into relevance and the motivation behind the research undertaken in this work. The key challenges for improving capacity with each of the technologies studied in this chapter are critically eval- uated. Further, frameworks are established for potential candidate solutions in each case for obtaining the same macro objective of system capacity enhancement. The main technical chapters 3, 4 and 5 are focused at providing strategies and algorithms for capacity improvement. This objective is pursued in chapters 3 and 4 from a radio resource management and packet scheduling perspective whilst chapter 5 deals with the same goal from a cell association point of view. Chapter 3 begins with addressing the detrimental effects of ICI on cell through- put in cellular networks reinforcing the significance of base station cooperation. Drawing upon the insufficiencies of some of the most relevant state-of-the-art technology available in the literature, it proposes a novel and comprehensive hy- brid CoMP scheduling algorithm for an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. Its focus however, remains on reflecting on the joint benefits of the two modes of cooperation. In addition, full frequency reuse is identified as a tool to boost performance at the cost of elevated cell-edge inter- xxxxxxx. To this end, to facilitate the use of full reuse, intelligent base station cooperation is adopted on the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer followed by joint transmission in the physical layer to undermine the ICI downside in the cell- edge. The dual-eNB PF scheduling proposed for the JT and CS modes of CoMP provides a time and frequency priority basis for users. Moreover, the proposed scheme selects optimal transmission points (i.e. CoMP cluster) so to guarantee user minimum QoS. Through the assumed mobile network architecture based on C-RAN, implementation of coordinated scheduling is facilitated. Link adaptation is also a consideration in this work for improved sp...
