Abstract: This work presents the mitigation of inter cell interference for 4G networks using intelligent multi cell resource coordination algorithm. The study was embarked on to effectively manage and coordinate the effect of interference on 4G network which has resulted to poor throughput performance, latency and main effect on voice communication. The problem was solved developing an algorithm for the management of interference and deploying on the cells with priority on voice over internet data. This was implemented using Long term evolution toolbox, communication toolbox, signal processing toolbox and then deployed on the 4G eNodeB using Matlab. The system was tested on femto cell and the result showed that signal to noise to interference ratio was coordinated and average throughput percentage recorded is 70% which according to the ITU-T standard is good quality of service in 4G Network.
Keywords: 4G Networks, eNodeB, Voice, Interference, Latency, Throughput, Matlab, Femto cell.
I. INTRODUCTION
According to the global internet penetration (GIP, 2021) report, in the year 2016, 43.3% of the world population is already making use of internet. Today, this percentage increased to 51.4%, now in 2021 over 4.66 billion active internet users are available worldwide making up over 59.5% of the global population (Alozie, 2021). From the percentage pattern, it is clear that in the next decade over 85% of the world population will be active internet users.
This increase in number of users have been fuelled by the rapid growth in the field of information and communication technology, science and engineering, leading to the invention of varieties of information technology user equipment’s which aid limitless data exchange and communication processes. However the present internet network architecture globally struggles to manage the data traffic as a result of high density of nodes, thus leading to high demand for better internet services. The need to meet up with these increased demand for high speed internet services as the global population of active users keep increasing motivated the development of the
