METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE COORDINATION VIA OVER THE AIR LOAD INDICATOR AND RELATIVE NARROWBAND TRANSMIT POWER

摘要

Systems and methods for facilitating inter-cell interference coordination using resource partitioning are described. A UE may receive or determine information related to received interference and/or future scheduling. The information may be communicated to a serving base station, which may use the information to allocate uplink or downlink resources between cells. The uplink and/or downlink resource may be partitioned in subbands to mitigate interference from adjacent network nodes. The eNBs may communicate, such as directly, via a backhaul connection, and/or between UEs to configure interference coordination and signaling.
