A METHOD TO FACILITATE THE MINIMIZATION OF INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE BY EXPLOITING ITS KNOWN CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

In the method of the invention, the overall throughput of a user equipment connected to a serving cell of a cell network is affected by the presence of inter-cell interference of at least a main interfering neighbour cell of said cell network, said user equipment incorporating Successive Interference Cancellation, or SIC, capabilities, and is characterised in that it comprises performing a resources scheduling mechanism and/or power control process in said cell network according to the availability of said SIC capabilities in said user equipment.
