Hidden node interference issue in a type II relay network

摘要

Devices and methods are provided for managing hidden node interference. A communications session between a client node and an access node is affected by interference generated by a hidden relay node. The victim client node and the aggravator relay node are identified by the access node. The access node generates a set of scheduling instructions, which are then provided to the client node. The client node then uses the scheduling instructions to avoid further interference.

1. A client node, comprising:
a processing device configured to:
establish communication with a first access node;detect interference with said communication, said interference generated by transmissions from a hidden relay node (RN), wherein said hidden relay node is served by a second access node;generate a set of interference data associated with said interference;provide said set of interference data to said first access node, wherein said first access node processes said set of interference data to generate transmission scheduling instructions, such that wireless communication is facilitated;receive a first set of the transmission scheduling instructions from said first access node; anduse said first set of scheduling instructions to resolve said interference.
