摘要:
In some aspect restricted access nodes are assigned to a designated common channel while access terminals that are in active communication with a macro access node may selectively be assigned to the designated channel. In some aspect an access terminal associated with macro access node may perform a handoff to a different carrier when the access terminal is in the vicinity of a coverage area of a restricted access node. In some aspect an access terminal associated with a macro access node may perform a handoff to a different carrier based on location information. In some aspect access to a restricted access node is controlled based on policy and/or based on operation of an access terminal associated with the restricted access node.
摘要:
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of beam and null steering techniques. A method, apparatus and medium of communication determine an interference direction of a non-associated access terminal generating an interfering signal. Transmitted and received signals are then transceived away from the interference direction.
摘要:
Transmit power (e.g., maximum transmit power) may be defined based on the maximum received signal strength allowed by a receiver and a minimum coupling loss from a transmitting node to a receiver. Transmit power may be defined for an access node (e.g., a femto node) such that a corresponding outage created in a cell (e.g., a macro cell) is limited while still providing an acceptable level of coverage for access terminals associated with the access node. An access node may autonomously adjust its transmit power based on channel measurement and a defined coverage hole to mitigate interference. Transmit power may be defined based on channel quality. Transmit power may be defined based on a signal-to-noise ratio at an access terminal. The transmit power of neighboring access nodes also may be controlled by inter-access node signaling.
摘要:
A system and method of reducing interference on a communication channel between an access terminal and a serving cell or node are disclosed. A cooperation request may be sent to an interfering cell or node to reduce and/or mitigate interference on the communication channel caused by the interfering cell or node. The interfering cell or node may perform beamforming, may intermittently transmit its wireless signal, or may move at least one antenna to mitigate and/or reduce interference on the communication channel.
摘要:
An access point generates beacons at different power levels at different times to provide an acceptable tradeoff between coverage area associated with the beacons and outage experienced at nearby access terminals. For example, a femto access point may transmit beacons at a relatively low power for a relatively long period of time to reduce interference at nearby access terminals that are being served by a macro access point. The femto access point may then transmit beacons at a relatively high power for a relatively short period of time to enable nearby access terminals to receive the beacons. Also, a given transmit chain may be used to provide frequency hopping of high and low power beacons.
摘要:
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed by determination and application of an adaptive path loss adjustment. A method, apparatus and medium of communication determine a level of excess received interference based at least in part on out-of-cell interference (Ioc). The path loss is adjusted by an additional path loss on an uplink signal when the level of excess received interference exceeds an interference target that would cause a Rise-over-Thermal (RoT) metric to exceed stable communication.
摘要:
In a handover operation an access terminal is handed over from a source access point to a target access point. To facilitate efficient identification of a target access point, a handover operation may be initiated by the target access point. A candidate frequency search also may be invoked to confirm that an access terminal identified by a target access point for a handover is in the vicinity of the target access point. A source access point may verify whether an access terminal is in a vicinity of a target access point to determine whether to perform a handover operation. A source access point may handle potential ambiguity between several target access points by sending handover commands to each of these target access points. An access terminal also may assist in the determination of whether to perform a handover operation.
摘要:
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of fractional reuse and other techniques. In some aspects fractional reuse may relate to HARQ interlaces, portions of a timeslot, frequency spectrum, and spreading codes. Interference may be managed through the use of a transmit power profile and/or an attenuation profile. Interference also may be managed through the use of power management-related techniques.
