Inter-Cell Interference in Relay Networks

Abstract

Inter-cell Interference (ICI) in multi-cell wireless networks is a major limitation in the performance of these networks. The number of sources of ICI increases in the relay-based wireless networks due to an increase in the number of transmitting nodes in the form of relays. In this paper, we analyze, highlight and briefly describe the effects of ICI in relay networks under different relaying topologies based on the simulations carried out.
