摘要:
A method allocates bandwidth from a radio frequency spectrum in a cellular network including a set of cells. Each cell includes a base station for serving a set of mobile stations in the cell. An area around each base station is partitioned into a center region and a boundary region. In each base station, bandwidth for use in the center region is reserved according to an inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) protocol, and bandwidth for use in the boundary region is reserved according to the ICIC protocol and a base station cooperation (BSC) protocol. Then, the bandwidth is allocated to mobile stations as the mobile stations communicate with the base station in the center regions and the boundary regions according to the bandwidth reservations.

A method allocates bandwidth from a radio frequency spectrum in a cellular network including a set of cells. Each cell includes a base station for serving a set of mobile stations in the cell. An area around each base station is partitioned into a center region and an edge region. In each base station, cell-center bandwidth for use by the mobile stations in the center region is reserved according to an inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) protocol, and cell-edge bandwidth for use by the mobile stations in the edge region is reserved according to the ICIC protocol. The bandwidth can be fixed or adaptive to reduce the signaling overhead. The adaptive bandwidth can be further partitioned into reserved and the free bands. Mobile stations are classified as primary and secondary users, depending on whether they use or are assigned the fixed or adaptive band radio resources.
