Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G wireless communication systems, cell edge UEs experience performance degradation due to interference from neighbor cells, and existing interference mitigation schemes like IASD and NAICS have limitations in achieving theoretical maximum data rates and complexity.

Innovation Solution
