SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING UPLINK COVERAGE IN INTERFERENCE SCENARIOS

摘要

A method and apparatus are for communication in a wireless network in which a User Equipment (UE) associated with a first evolved Node B (eNB) experiences interference from a second eNB. The method includes negotiating by the first eNB of the wireless network with a second eNB of the wireless network for a partitioning of subband resources on an uplink. A first subset of subband resources is assigned to the first eNB, and a second subset of subband resources is assigned to the second eNB. A method and apparatus are for communication in a wireless network. The method includes decoding a downlink control channel received during a protected downlink subframe to determine an uplink subframe n containing a protected subband for uplink transmission. The method also includes transmitting data during the uplink subframe n on the protected subband.

1. A method for communication in a wireless network, the method comprising:
negotiating by a first base station of the wireless network with a second base station of the wireless network for a protected subband resources of a subframe on an uplink; and scheduling a user equipment (UE) for an uplink transmission on the protected subband resources of the subframe.
