Abstract
The long term evolution (LTE) is introduced by 3GPP as the 4th Generation (4G) radio access standard. LTE introduces significant changes in the radio access interface as well as the network architecture and provides significant performance improvement at a reduced cost to stay competitive for a longer time frame. This thesis focuses on a subset of radio resource management (RRM) functionalities within the context of LTE uplinkand specifically on scheduling, inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) and power control (PC). Due to the time varying nature of the channel, the scheduler - based on ICIC information - adaptively assigns resources to different userequipment(UEs) and the PC adapts their transmission power. The LTE uses single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC - FDMA) scheme for the uplink transmission which limits the flexibility of the allocation process as the subcarriers assigned to a single user have to be contiguous
