In this thesis, a dynamic cell coordination scheme is proposed for the efficient subcarrier allocation in the channel-aware OFDMA downlink multicellular environment, where the adaptive modulation is applied for supporting various services and the variable frequency reuse factors in each individual subchannel is considered to improve the system throughput.In conventional OFDMA system, cell structure has been designed based on either the single frequency reuse factor over all frequency band or on the fixed reuse factor for each subchannel. Thus, the system throughput of these schemes might have been degraded due to the persistent interference from other cell.In proposed scheme, the system bandwidth is dynamically divided into subchannels with different reuse factors in the consideration of the channel and interference condition of individual user so as to increase the system throughput, where BSs determine the required number of subchannels for each user by using the spectral efficiency of each user for corresponding subchannel and normalized one by the average throughput and begin transmission to RNC in flat fading. In selective fading, each mobile calculate spectral efficiencies for the pre-determined values of frequency reuse factor and select the largest value and send to BS, so that BS can use them for cell coordination.In flat fading channel, the throughput and fairness performances are evaluated for established and proposed schemes. In selective fading channel, the performance of throughput and fairness are evaluated for newly proposed cell coordination scheme. Results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves on average a three times larger throughput than the established application [9] in flat fading. The cell throughput of the scheme proposed in this thesis was, at the maximum, 2.7 times that of the case using a single reuse factor of 1 over the entire bandwidth in selective fading.
