Characterization of co-channel interference in a wireless communication system

摘要

A method for characterizing interference in a radio communication system including a plurality of radio transceiver stations configured to communicate with user equipment, includes: measuring, by user equipment in radio communication with a serving transceiver station, quantities indicative of interference from interfering transceiver stations; sending the measured quantities to the serving transceiver station; associating at least one codebook with the serving transceiver station, the codebook including a number of codewords each representing a respective quantized interference situation in an area covered by the serving transceiver station; and identifying in the codebook a codeword representative of the quantities measured by the user equipment.
