Coordinated Single-Cell vs Multi-Cell Transmission with Limited-Capacity Backhaul

• Base station coordination is an efficient techniqueto transcend the limits on spectral efficiency imposed by intercellinterference. In this paper, we compare the performance ofdifferent coordination strategies with different amount of channelstate information (CSI) and data sharing among the coordinatingbase stations. We focus on the effect of limited backhaul capacityin a two-cell network. Contrary to the common belief, we showthat coordination strategies with no data and only limited CSIsharing is preferred to those with full data and CSI sharing whenthe backhaul capacity is relatively low and the edge SNR is high.
