Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a power allocation method for a Femtocell Base Station (FBS) in a macrocell/femtocell coexisting system based on OFDMA transmission. In most conventional methods, FBS to macrocell users channel state information, necessary to mitigate the interference to macrocell users, is obtained through a control channel. However, this results into a significant overhead increase, which should be avoided. To address this problem, in the proposed method, FBS overhears the Channel State Information (CSI) fed back from macrocell users to the Macrocell Base Station (MBS). Based on the obtained CSI, the FBS predicts the macrocell users' subcarrier allocation, and performs its own power allocation. With this procedure, the proposed method can mitigate the interference to macrocell users without largely increasing control overhead. Numerical results show the sum-rate improvements brought by our proposed method, for both macrocell and femtocell, compared to reference schemes.
