Device-assisted interference management in heterogeneous wireless cellular systems

摘要

Devices and methods are provided for device-assisted interference management in heterogeneous wireless network environments. A mobile station (MS) assists a serving access point (AP) in assigning radio resources according to the interference management capabilities of the MS, the serving AP, and one or more neighboring interfering APs on the downlink, or alternatively, to one or more neighboring APs with interfering mobile stations on the uplink.

主权项

1. A mobile station (MS), comprising:
processing logic configured to manage interference of a transmission, the processing logic configured to be used by the MS to dynamically perform capability assessment operations to generate capability data associated with interference management capabilities of the MS, wherein the capability data is configured to be provided to a serving access point (AP) and one or more neighboring APs for an assignment of radio resources according to the interference management capabilities of the MS, the serving AP, and the one or more neighboring interfering APs, wherein the processing logic is further configured to be used by the MS to make a downlink radio resource selection recommendation according to whether one or more dominant interferers can be canceled or suppressed.
