METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method, apparatus, and computer program can provide inter-cell interference management. The method, for example, may generate an inter-cell assistance information to facilitate a selection of one or more physical resource blocks for device-to-device communications based at least in part on a scheduling or interference information exchanged between a plurality of nodes. The method can further comprise transmitting the generated inter-cell assistance information to a plurality of user equipments in device-to-device communication mode. The inter-cell assistance information may comprise at least one physical resource block, or additionally at least one source node identity associate with the at least one physical resource block, or additionally at least one destination node identity associated with the at least one physical resource block and the at least one source node identity.
