Dynamic Interference Control in a Wireless Communication Network

摘要

A method and apparatus for dynamic interference management is disclosed. A frequency channel is partitioned into a plurality of groups. Two or more groups are assigned weights reflecting degrees of disadvantage of a node. Each group is further partitioned into a plurality of tones. A node experiencing interference determines a group, selects a tone within the group, and transmits a wireless signal using the selected tone. A receiving node receives a plurality of tones including the selected tone, identifies active tones from the received tones, and determines a response based on the weights of the active tones.
