A METHOD FOR ASSISTING SCHEDULING OF A USER EQUIPMENT IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK

摘要

A method in a first base station for assisting a third base station in scheduling a user equipment. The first base station obtains a first parameter associated to a first cell, or an indication of the first parameter, and identifier of the first cell. The first parameter comprises a first protected subframe pattern. The first base station obtains a second parameter associated to a second cell, or indication of the second parameter, and an identifier of the second cell. The second parameter comprises a second protected subframe pattern. The first base station assists the third base station in scheduling of the user equipment in a third cell by sending to the third base station the first parameter, or the indication of the first parameter, and the identifier of the first cell, together with the second parameter, or the indication of the second parameter, and the identifier of the second cell.
