DETERMINING FRACTIONAL FREQUENCY REUSE POWER LEVELS FOR DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

An example method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving at least one relative interference statistic from each of a plurality of cells, the at least one relative interference statistic associated with a relative interference of downlink transmission from the cell to a plurality of user equipment devices associated with the cell. The method further includes determining a power level for each of one or more resources within a fractional frequency reuse portion of a frequency spectrum based upon the at least one relative interference statistic received from each of the plurality of cells, and determining a power level for a reuse one portion of the frequency spectrum based upon the determined power level for each of the one or more resources within the fractional frequency reuse portion of the frequency spectrum.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving at least one relative interference statistic from each of a plurality of cells, the at least one relative interference statistic associated with a relative interference of downlink transmission from the cell to a plurality of user equipment devices associated with the cell; determining a power level for each of one or more resources within a fractional frequency reuse portion of a frequency spectrum based upon the at least one relative interference statistic received from each of the plurality of cells; and determining a power level for a reuse one portion of the frequency spectrum based upon the determined power level for each of the one or more resources within the fractional frequency reuse portion of the frequency spectrum.
