PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance uplink (UL) coverage in interference scenarios.SOLUTION: The invention relates to communication in a wireless network in which user equipment (UE) associated with a first evolved Node B (eNB) experiences interference from a second eNB. The first eNB of the wireless network and a second eNB of the wireless network negotiate for partitioning of subband resources on an uplink. A first subset of the subband resources is assigned to the first eNB, and a second subset of the subband resources is assigned to the second eNB. The user equipment (UE) determines an uplink subframe n containing a protected subband for uplink transmission, decodes a downlink control channel received during a protected downlink subframe, and transmits data during the uplink subframe n on the protected subband. |
