METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING INTERFERENCE COORDINATIOIN IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

摘要

A method for enabling interference coordination for use in a heterogeneous network includes determining whether a first low power node approaches a second low power node at the first low power node if a trigger condition occurs. The method also includes transmitting an entering message from the first low power node to a base station (evolved Node-B, eNB) which serves the first low power node. Moreover, the method includes receiving configuration information from the base station at the first low power node in order to perform at least one measurement of the second low power node.
