METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING NUMBER OF PROTECTED ACTIVE USERS BASED ON QOS REQUIREMENTS, THROUGHPUT AND TRAFFIC
摘要
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose methods and apparatus to transmit information about number of active UEs in a cell (e.g., pico cell) that need protection to an interfering cell (e.g., a macro cell). The information may be transmitted in a resource status update message. The active users may be defined as users whose downlink performance and/or quality of service are limited by the available number of protected resources.
