Simulation results #1 Inter-Cell case

Figure shows the proposed scheme as well as the multi-cell MBMS with cell-specific group
scrambling reference perform 3dB better than the multi-cell MBMS with cell-common reference.
This is because correlation between sub-carrier group in the proposed scheme is also lower than the
multi-cell MBMS with cell-common reference.

Simulation results #2 Inter-sector case

Figure shows that the proposed scheme outperforms the multi-cell MBMS with cell-common
reference and the multi-cell MBMS with cell-specific group scrambling reference.
This is because correlation between sub-carrier groups in the proposed scheme is lower than the
multi-cell MBMS with cell-common reference and the multi-cell MBMS with cell-specific group
scrambling reference.
