Abstract

A cognitive femtocell is a new small cell based on a 
smart home base station to solve the spectrum-scarcity problem. 
Recently, dedicated resource allocation for cognitive femtocells 
is extensively researched to mitigate the co-channel interference. 
However, the cognitive femtocell may suffer from the lack of 
frequency resource for its users due to high data traffic load of 
the macrocell. In this paper, we propose a novel resource 
allocation scheme based on the channel sensing and the spatial 
radio resource reuse mechanism, which enables femto users in 
the cognitive femtocell to obtain more feasible radio resource. 
The simulation results show that the capacity of the cognitive 
femtocell can be improved under high data traffic load of the 
macrocell compared to that of the conventional scheme.
