摘　　要：In this paper, we present a technique called ＂fuzzy cells＂ that builds on the multicarrier features of Long Term Evolution-Advanced （LTE-A） and high-speed packet access （HSPA）. Multiple carriers are aggregated to create a larger system bandwidth, and these carriers are transmitted at different powers by each sector antenna. This creates a set of cell-edge locations that differ from one frequency to the next. System-level simulations are performed to estimate individual user and average throughput for a hexagonal deployment of 3-sector base stations. For moderately high loads, a fuzzy cell deployment can improve tenth percentile （cell-edge） user throughput by 100% and can improve average throughput by about 30% compared with a reuse 1 scheme. Fuzzy ceils reduce inter-cell interference in the same way as higher-order reuse schemes and allow users to access the full system bandwidth.In this paper, we present a technique called ＂fuzzy cells＂ that builds on the multicarrier features of Long Term Evolution-Advanced （LTE-A） and high-speed packet access （HSPA）.
