CARRIER REUSE IN A MULTICARRIER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing fractional frequency reuse within carriers in a multicarrier heterogeneous wireless communication environment. Each carrier can be divided into a plurality of frequency reuse sets. Moreover, each of the frequency reuse sets from each carrier can be categorized as being for one of unrestricted reuse or restricted reuse. Further, a downlink transmission can be scheduled upon resources of at least a first subset of frequency reuse sets from a first carrier bandwidth and a second subset of frequency reuse sets from a second carrier bandwidth. For example, the resources can be scheduled based upon a power class of a base station, categorizations of the frequency reuse set (e.g., unrestricted reuse versus restricted reuse,...), and/or received feedback related to downlink channel conditions.
