Interference mitigation for control channels in a wireless communication network

摘要

Techniques for mitigating interference on control channels in a wireless communication network are described. A base station transmits a request to one or more interfering user equipments (UEs) to reduce interference on radio resources used for a control channel by one or more UEs served by the base station; one or more interfering UEs receive a request from the base station and reduce transmit power on the radio resources to reduce interference to the control channel from the base station; the base station then receives on the radio resources the control channel from the one or more served UEs, the radio resources having reduced interference from the one or more interfering UEs.
