Downlink interference coordination in a radio communication network

摘要

An aggressor base station (22-1) herein performs downlink interference coordination with one or more victim base stations (22-2, 22-3)in a radio communication network (10). Such coordination is performed for each of one or more iterations. For any given iteration, the aggressor (22-1) sends a message (28-2) to a victim (22-2) that indicates, for each of one or more downlink resources (26), whether the aggressor (22-1) promises to protect that resource (26) from interference by not transmitting on the resource (26) with a transmit power above a threshold (TH
