<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, apparatus and system capable of providing interference avoidance in a femtocell network. <P>SOLUTION: A method of providing interference avoidance in a femtocell network may include receiving, at a femtocell base station defining a femtocell coverage area, an allocation of reserved resources for control signaling and data transmission in which the allocation is received from a macro cell base station defining a macro cell coverage area. The femtocell base station may be located and the femtocell includes a portion of the macro cell coverage area. The method may further include enabling usage of the reserved resources by the femtocell base station responsive to receipt of the allocation to provide interference avoidance with respect to femtocell and macro cell communications. The method may further include disabling usage of the reserved resources by the macro cell base station responsive to the allocation of the reserved resources. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
