However, allowing all user equipments (UEs) to operate using the JT-CoMP mode reduces the availability of radio resources. This paper develops an efficient algorithm that can identify which UEs will benefit from operating in a JT-CoMP mode and how to efficiently allocate radio resources from multiple base stations. Joint user-centric JT-CoMP clustering and multi-cell resource management is used in two steps where user-centric clusters are constructed as a first step and according to the clustering results obtained, resources are assigned. This paper also provides a new user-centric clustering approach that allows a user to utilize the JT-CoMP technique only if JT-CoMP boosts its rate above a certain threshold level. A multi-cell resource allocation scheme that can address the resource mismatching problem between cooperative BSs that happens due to load imbalance is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed user-centric clustering algorithm outperforms the traditional power level difference scheme in terms of the system\u2019s overall throughput as well as the throughput of cell-edge users. Also, results show that the performance of JT-CoMP is mainly affected by the user-centric approach and the amount of physical radio resources assigned to CoMP UEs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11277-022-09499-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,17]],"date-time":"2022-01-17T21:14:21Z","timestamp":1642454061000},"page":"2983-3011","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Joint User-Centric Clustering and Multi-cell Radio Resource Management in Coordinated Multipoint Joint Transmission"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Tareq M.","family":"Shami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Grace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alister","family":"Burr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad D.","family":"Zakaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"9499_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1109\/MVT.2013.2295070","volume":"9","author":"QC Li","year":"2014","unstructured":"Li, Q.
