Synchronized interference mitigation scheme for heterogeneous wireless networks

摘要

In a method of synchronizing time domain multiplexing interference mitigation schemes of at least a first, second, and third wireless communication link within a first, second, and third network, respectively, a first set of parameters defining a first set of time intervals is determined. The first set of time intervals is utilized to schedule transmissions of the first wireless communication link to reduce interference with transmissions of the second wireless communication link. A second set of parameters defining a second set of time intervals is determined. The second set of time intervals is utilized to schedule transmissions of the first wireless communication link to reduce interference with transmissions of the third wireless communication link. The second set of parameters is determined based at least in part on at least one of the first set of parameters.

1. A method of synchronizing time domain multiplexing interference mitigation schemes of at least a first wireless communication link within a first network of a heterogeneous wireless network, a second wireless communication link within a second network of the heterogeneous wireless network, and a third wireless communication link within a third network, the method comprising:
determining, by a network controller of the heterogeneous wireless network, a first set of one or more parameters defining a first set of time intervals, wherein
the first set of time intervals restrict access to the first wireless communication link to reduce interference with the second wireless communication link; determining, by the network controller, a second set of one or more parameters defining a second set of time intervals based on the first set of time intervals, wherein
the second set of time intervals restrict access to the first wireless communication link to reduce interference with the third wireless communication link; and causing, by the network controller, the first set of one or more parameters and the second set of one or more parameters to be transmitted to a first user device of the first wireless communication link and the third wireless communication link so that the first user device schedules i) data transmissions of the first wireless communication link to reduce interference with the second wireless communication link, and ii) data transmissions of the third wireless communication link to reduce interference with the first wireless communication link.
