Coordinated dynamic point selection (DPS) with cell range expansion in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system

摘要

Technology for mitigating edge effect interference in a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system having multiple CoMP clusters is disclosed. In an example, a method can include a macro node transmitting a cell range expansion request to user equipments (UEs) within a cell. A CoMP cluster for nodes within the cell that includes UEs operating with the cell range expansion can be generated. Blanked resources between a plurality of macro nodes for the CoMP clusters in the CoMP system can be coordinated using a muting preference including a blanked resource.

1. A method for mitigating edge effect interference in a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system having multiple CoMP clusters, comprising:
transmitting from a macro node a cell range expansion request to user equipments (UEs) within a cell to enable the UEs to apply a cell range expansion bias; generating a CoMP cluster, from at least one of the macro node or a neighboring macro node, for nodes within the cell to include the UEs operating with the cell range expansion bias; and coordinating blanked resources, from at least one of the macro node or the neighboring macro node, between a plurality of macro nodes for the CoMP clusters in the CoMP system using a muting preference including a blanked resource.
