Systems, apparatuses, and methods to facilitate coordinated scheduling in wireless communication systems

摘要

A system and method of coordinating scheduling in a wireless communication system are described herein. In one aspect, user equipments determine one or more cells that interfere with communications received by the user equipments. The user equipment may determine particular information about the interfering cells, including a metric function based on the precoding matrix used by the interfering cell. The user equipment may transmit this information to the interfering cell in order to coordinate the use of precoding matrices between cells.

1. A method operable in a wireless communication system, comprising:
identifying one or more interferers having a power exceeding a threshold; determining, from the one or more interferers, a respective one or more interference metric functions based, at least, on the one or more interferers not transmitting data traffic, a precoding matrix of a serving cell being constant, or a signal from the serving cell being constant; and transmitting a report indicative of a utility metric that is based at least in part on a link level performance, wherein the report is based, at least, on precoding matrix indicator information and the one or more interference metric functions, and wherein the transmitting is from a user equipment to one or more cells.
