摘要:
A method and network node of a first cellular network, for enabling mitigation of interference in the first cellular network caused by radio communication in a second cellular network. The network node obtains a total interference in a first cell of the first cellular network, and estimates a first interference contribution in the first cell caused by radio communication in the first cellular network. The network node then determines a second interference contribution in the first cell caused by radio communication in the second cellular network based on the estimated first interference contribution and the obtained total interference. The network node also utilizes the determined second interference contribution to counteract the interference in the first cell caused by the radio communication in the second cellular network. Thereby, it is possible to counteract the interference in the first cell when the second interference contribution fulfills a threshold condition such that actions and measures for counteracting the inter-system interference can be initiated only when needed or when it is deemed effective for improving performance in the cell.

In a cellular telecommunications network, uplink interference, as measured by a base station in a target cell, and co-channel interference, as measured by mobile units in a co-channel cell are reduced by increasing the base station antenna tilt angle. However, increasing the base station antenna tilt angle reduces the effective coverage area of the target cell. To obtain an optimum base station antenna tilt angle, interference reduction and target cell coverage area reduction are quantified for each of a number of candidate base station antenna tilt angles. An interference reduction-to-target cell coverage area reduction ratio can then be established for each of the candidate base station antenna tilt angles. The optimum base station antenna tilt angle can then be identified as the one candidate base station antenna tilt angle that reflects the maximum interference reduction-to-target cell coverage area reduction ratio.

Multiple code sets are introduced in the downlink of a CDMA system to allow for more connections in each cell. The codes are then allocated to different users taking into account the interference therebetween. The interference depends on the antenna gains, transmission powers used and cross-correlations between codes. By estimating these parameters the interference can be minimized in the code allocation process. Since the allocation of codes and code sets to geographical areas within a cell may change over time, code handoff is supported.

A low power network node (LPN) and a method performed thereby for providing a primary serving cell to a wireless device associated with the low power network node. The wireless communication network also comprises a neighboring network node, wherein the low power network node and the neighboring network node are configured with a first set of frequency bands B′ and the low power network node is configured with a second set of frequency bands B″. Since the neighboring network node does not use the second set of frequency bands B″, the neighboring network node may not cause interference on carriers of the second set of frequency bands B″.

The method comprises selecting, from the acquired uplink load level, the first pathloss level, and the second pathloss level, which one of the first network node and the second network node to provide control plane connectivity for the wireless device.
摘要:
The application relates to the selection of cells to form a cell coordination group for which interference management techniques such as COMP are to be applied. The cells to be selected to improve the performance of a UE in terms of throughput or delay are not necessarily the ones which are geographically the closest because in city environments shadowing effects of buildings exist. Thus, choosing the closest cells for coordinated interference management will not be a good solution in many cases. Hence, there is a need to develop another method and mechanism for more accurately generating a cell coordination group for interference management activities. This problem is solved by the application in that either the downlink interference toward the UE from the neighboring cells is estimated or the neighbor cells listen for the UE and then predict the downlink interference. Furthermore, the algorithm starts with an initial list of cells comprising the most likely handover candidates. Furthermore, cells are eliminated if the interconnection link to the serving base station is not fast enough for the interference reducing algorithms.
