Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Interference alignment (IA) in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is a promising technique that improves the
spectral efficiency significantly. We showed in [1] that transmit antennas at pico base stations (BSs) could be utilized more
efficiently by clustering pico cells in IA in HetNet where the clustering formation was optimized so as to minimize the rate loss
caused by inter-cluster interference. In [1], the optimum clustering formation is selected by comparing all possible formations,
that is, the value of the objective function for all possible formations is calculated. Therefore, the enormous complexity to
construct pico cell clusters is required. In this report, we propose a novel algorithm for clustering pico cells that reduces the
complexity of the clustering process. In particular, we define rate-loss matrix that represents the rate loss caused by inter-pico
interference, and translate the optimization problem to the construction of rate-loss matrix. Although the proposed algorithm
is sub-optimum in terms of achievable rate compared to all-search algorithm used in [1], the simulation results show that the
difference of achievable rate between the proposed algorithm and all-search algorithm is negligible and becomes smaller as
the cluster size decreases. We evaluate the complexity of proposed algorithm quantitatively comparing to all-search algorithm, and show that our algorithm reduces the complexity of clustering process significantly while achieving almost same performance.
