COMMUNICATION NETWORK APPARATUS AND METHODS

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program for allocating resources in a communication system. An access node sends a request for shared resources to one or more neighboring access nodes which have a strong interference bond with the access node. The neighboring access nodes send a response identifying the nature of their use of the shared resources. The access node then determines a new allocation of the shared resources based on the responses. This new allocation is then signalled to the neighboring access nodes.
