Interference coordination methods for EvolvedMultimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (E-MBMS) in LongTerm Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) are presented. In this paper, OFDM/OFDMA signals based on LTE parameters are combined with Multipoint MIMO, Turbo codes and signal space diversity methods. Different interference coordination techniques, such as, Multipoint MIMO coordination, Fixed Relay stations, adaptive frequency reuse and schedulers are considered to evaluate the E-MBMS spectral efficiency at the cell borders. The system level coverage and throughput gains of Multipoint MIMO system with hierarchical constellations and Turbo-codes are simulated associated to the presence or not of fixed relays and measuring the maximum spectral efficiencies at cell borders of single cell point-to-multipoint or single frequency network topologies. The influence of the relay transmission power and cell radius in the performance of the previous cellular topologies is also evaluated.
