Interference-aware scheduling with broadcast/multicast signaling

摘要

A method for interference-aware scheduling is provided. The method can include acquiring a plurality of interference characteristics, each of the interference characteristics associated with a range of communication resources. The method may further include combining at least two of the interference characteristics into a combined interference characteristic, and transmitting a message encoding the combined interference characteristic.

1. A method, comprising:
acquiring, by an access point, a plurality of interference characteristics for a plurality of communications nodes, each of the plurality of interference characteristics associated with a range of communication resources; selecting a set of the communications nodes with similar interference characteristics; combining, by the access point, at least two of the plurality of interference characteristics for the communications nodes having the similar interference characteristics to produce a combined interference characteristic; and controlling the selected set of communications nodes to synchronously transmit a message encoding the combined interference characteristic, wherein each transmission of the communications nodes among the selected set of communications nodes is bit-wise identical.
