Exclusion Zone Assisted eICIC in Massive MIMO Enabled Cognitive HetNets

In a massive MIMO-enabled cognitive HetNet, a multi-user massive MIMO macrocell is underlaid with dense cognitive small cells. Then, a plenty of exclusion zones (EZs) are formed around co-scheduled macrocell users. Applying enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) in each EZ separately,...
