SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING UPLINK INTER CELL INTERFERENCE COORDINATION IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method is provided in one example embodiment and may include determining one or more uplink inter cell interference coordination (ICIC) parameters for a plurality of cells based, at least in part, on feedback information associated with the plurality of cells; exchanging interference information between neighboring cells; and scheduling uplink transmissions for user equipment served by the neighboring cells based, at least in part, on the uplink ICIC parameters and the interference information exchanged between neighboring cells. A method is provided in another example embodiment and may include determining a ratio relating a first portion of a frequency spectrum for assigning fractional frequency re-use resources to a second portion of the frequency spectrum for assigning re-use one resources; and updating the ratio relating the first portion and the second portion of the frequency spectrum to optimize throughput rates for the plurality of user equipment across the plurality of cells.

1. A method comprising:
determining one or more uplink inter cell interference coordination (ICIC) parameters by a central management entity for a plurality of cells based, at least in part, on feedback information associated with the plurality of cells, wherein the feedback information is associated, at least in part, with signal strength information associated with the plurality of cells and wherein the uplink ICIC parameters include, at least in part, a low interference power spectral density (PSD) level and a medium interference PSD level; communicating the uplink ICIC parameters to each of the plurality of cells; exchanging interference information between neighboring cells of the plurality of cells, wherein the interference information includes, at least in part, interference guarantees for certain transmissions between each neighboring cell of the plurality of cells based on the low interference PSD level and the medium interference PSD level; and scheduling uplink transmissions for user equipment served by the neighboring cells based, at least in part, on the uplink ICIC parameters and the interference information exchanged between neighboring cells.
