METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SUBFRAME INTERLACING IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for providing wireless communications using subframe partitioning are disclosed. Two or more base stations may be allocated subframes in a radio frame. All or part of the subframe allocation may be provided to the associated user equipment (UEs), which may use it to determine signal metrics during assigned subframes for an associated base station.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
receiving information relating to a subframe resource interlace allocation of a first downlink (DL) resource to a first base station; receiving signaling from the first base station during at least one subframe associated with the subframe resource interlace allocation; and determining a signal metric associated with the signaling, wherein the first DL resource is time-division orthogonal to a second DL resource allocated to a second base station.
