Interference model and evaluation in LTE networks

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of frequency parameter settings while evaluating interference model in LTE (Long Term Evolution); the work is applied on a network. We develop and validate the interference model based on SINR which is used by 3GPP (3rd Group Partnership Project) to estimate the quality of signal received by UE (User Equipment) and issued from eNB (enhanced Node Base). For this aim, two frequency schemes have been compared: the frequency reuse 1 scheme whereby the whole available bandwidth is used in each cell/sector and the frequency reuse 3 scheme in which the entire bandwidth is divided into 3 non-overlapping groups and assigned to 3 co-site sectors within each cell.
