METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING INTERFERENCE COORDINATION BETWEEN CELLS

摘要

A method and a base station serving a first cell of a cellular network, for controlling interference coordination with at least one neighboring cell. The base station obtains transaction related information pertaining to a forthcoming data transaction involving at least one wireless terminal in the first cell, and estimates a transaction magnitude (TM) for said data transaction, based on the obtained transaction related information. The base station then controls employment of an Inter-Cell Interference Coordination scheme for the forthcoming data transaction, based on the estimated transaction magnitude.
