PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate interference measurement and reporting in a network multiple-in-multiple-out (N-MIMO) communication system.SOLUTION: A network device can measure and report interference corresponding to network nodes other than a designated set of nodes. Interference reports can additionally identify dominant interfering nodes, correlation between transmit antennas of the respective nodes, or the like. The interference reports are combined with per-node channel information to manage coordination and scheduling across the respective network nodes. Interference from a network node can be measured by observing reference and/or synchronization signals from the network node. Each non-interfering network node can define null pilot intervals in which transmission is silenced or otherwise reduced. Loading information broadcasted by interfering network nodes can be identified and utilized in connection with interference calculation. |
