Techniques for mitigating interference associated with downlink transmissions from a base station

摘要

Examples are disclosed for causing one or more subframes to be transmitted from a base station for a wireless network based on beamforming or transmission power characteristics. In some examples, an interference report may be received at a base station via a backhaul communication link. The interference report may indicate measured interference from the base station as measured at one or more wireless devices. The base station may transmit subsequent subframes in a manner to mitigate the previously reported interference. Other examples are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a first base station for a wireless network, an interference report from a second base station for the wireless network via a backhaul communication link, the interference report including information based on measured interference at one or more wireless devices coupled to the second base station, the interference associated with downlink transmissions from the first base station; determining at least one of a beamforming characteristic or a transmission power setting characteristic for one or more subframes to be transmitted from the first base station based, at least in part, on the interference information included in the received interference report; and causing the one or more subframes to be transmitted from the first base station based on at least one of the beamforming characteristic or the transmission power setting characteristic.
