SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING FEEDBACK IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method of managing inter-cell interference in a wireless communication device includes obtaining information indicating a first set of candidate subframes. Each of the candidate subframe satisfies a candidate condition that relates to transmissions in a second cell during that subframe. The method also includes identifying at least one subframe associated with downlink transmissions to the wireless communication device in a first cell and determining whether the identified subframe is included in the set of candidate subframes. If the identified subframe is included in the set of candidate subframes, the method includes receiving at least one downlink transmission during the identified subframe. If the identified subframe is not included in the set of candidate subframes, the method includes performing one or more of assuming no downlink transmission will occur in the identified subframe, deciding to not receive a downlink transmission in the identified subframe, and assuming a pre-defined result for a downlink transmission associated with the identified subframe.

1. A method in a wireless communication device for receiving feedback on uplink transmissions, the method comprising:
obtaining (700) information indicating a first set of candidate subframes for downlink transmissions in a first cell wherein each candidate subframe satisfies a candidate condition that relates to transmissions in a second cell during that subframe; identifying (706) at least one subframe associated with downlink transmissions to the wireless communication device in the first cell; if the identified subframe is one of the candidate subframes, receiving (712) at least one downlink transmission during the identified subframe; and if the identified subframe is not one of the candidate subframes, performing (710, 714) one or more of:
assuming no downlink transmission in the identified subframe;deciding to not receive downlink transmission in the identified subframe; andassuming a pre-defined result for the downlink transmission received in the identified subframe.
