MBMS COEXISTENCE IN A NETWORK WITH MULTIPLE TYPES OF BASE STATIONS

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a femto cell. The apparatus determines MBSFN subframes at a frequency of a first base station. The first base station has a first power class, the apparatus has a second power class lower than the first power class. The apparatus determines, in the MBSFN subframes, a first set of symbols used for control information and a second set of symbols used for MBSFN signals by the first base station. The apparatus transmits, at the frequency, unicast control information in a subset of the first set of symbols. The apparatus transmits, at the frequency, unicast data with a reduced power in the second set of symbols.

1. A method of wireless communication of a second base station, comprising:
determining multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframes used by a first base station at a frequency, the first base station having a first power class, the second base station having a second power class lower than the first power class; determining, in the MBSFN subframes, a first set of symbols used for control information by the first base station and a second set of symbols used for MBSFN signals by the first base station; transmitting, at the frequency, unicast control information in a subset of the first set of symbols; and transmitting, at the frequency, unicast data with a reduced power in the second set of symbols.
