PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for partitioning resources for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC).SOLUTION: Certain aspects involve broadcasting a message indicating time-domain resource partitioning information (RPI), where a user equipment (UE) may operate in an idle mode. With the RPI, the UE identifies protected resources with reduced/eliminated interference from neighboring cells. The RPI in this broadcasted message is encoded as a bitmap as an alternative or in addition to enumeration of the U/N/X subframes. With the RPI, the UE determines channel state information (CSI), performs radio resource management (RRM) measurement, or performs radio link monitoring (RLM), on the basis of one or more signals from a serving base station in the protected time-domain resources. |
