  Abstract

In the cellular networks adopting femtocells, the macrocell users can suffer from severe interference by the femtocells. In this paper, we propose a distributed transmission power control scheme for femtocells to protect macrocell users. With the proposed scheme, when a macrocell user experiences outage due to severe interference, it informs the interfering femtocell base station (BS) of the outage occurrence, via the macrocell BS. Then, the femtocell BS reduces the transmission power to protect the macrocell user. The proposed scheme does not require too much control information among the macrocell BS, the macrocell users, and the femtocell BS. Moreover, the computational complexity in femtocell BS is very low. By using simulation, we show that the performance of the proposed scheme is good enough to use in practice, in spite of its simplicity.
