RADIO RESOURCE SCHEDULING IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK

摘要

There is provided a method and apparatus for coordinating cells in a heterogeneous network. A serving cell determines scheduling parameters for scheduling a UE intermittently between a serving cell and at least one coordinating cell. The scheduling parameters define a cycle for the UE in which the UE alternates between listening to the serving cell and each of the coordinating cells. Timing offsets between the serving cell and the coordinating cells is determined by a UE and reported back to the eNB of the serving cell.
