Interference Analysis and Mitigation for Cognitive-Empowered Femtocells Through Stochastic Dual Control

This paper provides an extensive analysis on interferences due to different interfering sources within cognitive-empowered femtocell (CEF) networks. Based on the interference analysis and formulations, a stochastic dual control (SDC) approach is introduced for dynamic sensing coordination, aiming to achieving efficient interference mitigation without involving global and centralized control efforts. Simulation results show that the proposed SDC approach can effectively reduce interferences under highly dynamic environments within CEF networks when compared with other spectrum sensing strategies.
