Maximizing allowable flexible slot-to cell allocation by using adaptive antennas in a TDD system

摘要

The present invention establishes a system on how to best use adaptive antennas at a base stations and optionally at wireless transmit receive units (WTRUs) to mitigate the interference due to conflicting slot assignments between two neighboring cells. This system will allow for a greater flexibility in slot-to-cell assignments, especially when conflicting slot assignments are for two cells or mobiles in the same vicinity, more specifically, one cell uses a slot assignment for an uplink while the other cell uses the same slot assignment for downlink.
