Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In LTE-Advanced, heterogeneous networks where low power nodes such as picocells are overlaid onto macrocells were extensively investigated on further improvement in the system throughput per unit area. In heterogeneous networks, to achieve an offloading gain from macrocells to picocells, cell range expansion (CRE) is applied. Additionally, inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) is applied to reduce the severe inter-cell interference transmitted from the macrocells to the sets of user equipment (UEs) connected to picocells. In such cases, since the interference statistics are completely different from traditional well-planned macrocell deployments and heterogeneous networks only employing CRE, it is important to investigate the interference rejection combining (IRC) receiver that effectively improves the cell-edge user throughput by suppressing interference from the surrounding cells. Therefore, this paper investigates the IRC receiver in heterogeneous networks employing CRE and ICIC. Simulation results show that the effect of the IRC receiver compared to the conventional minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver becomes small due to a reduction in the severe inter-cell interference, which is the effect of ICIC. However, when using the optimum CRE and ICIC parameters in heterogeneous network, we clarify that a cell-edge user throughput gain from the IRC receiver exceeding 10% is achieved compared to the MMSE receiver and an average user throughput gain from the IRC receiver is also achieved. Furthermore, we show that the same parameters specified for CRE and ICIC can be set regardless of the IRC and conventional MMSE receivers.
