Method and apparatus for measuring multi-cell data efficiency in link adaptive wireless networks

摘要

Network performance related to the evaluation of an interference reduction scheme may include measuring a signal strength value for a signal sent by at least one base station and received by a plurality of user equipment, calculating first signal strength ratios using the first signal strength value, converting the first signal strength ratio into first user equipment spectral efficiency values for each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, and comparing the first spectral efficiency value to a second spectral efficiency value to evaluate a data efficiency metric associated with an interference reduction scheme that is running on the base station when the signal strength value is measured.

1. A networked computer system in a cellular communications network comprising:
a processor; a memory; and a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, perform the following method: measuring a signal strength value for a signal sent by at least one base station and received by a plurality of user equipment; calculating first signal strength ratios using the first signal strength value; converting the first signal strength ratio into first user equipment spectral efficiency values for each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment; and comparing a first spectral efficiency value corresponding to the first user equipment spectral efficiency values to a second spectral efficiency value to evaluate a data efficiency metric associated with an interference reduction scheme that is running on the base station when the signal strength value is measured.
