Abstract:
A communications system employing CoMP transmission to suppress interference comprises: a CoMP user equipment; and a plurality of base stations, one of the base stations being an associated base station of the CoMP user equipment to transmit data to the CoMP user equipment, the plurality of base stations including multiple CoMP base stations for the CoMP user equipment. The CoMP base stations for the CoMP user equipment transmit CoMP downlink data, including subframes which comprise physical resource blocks having a plurality of resource elements (REs) and cell-specific reference signal (CRS) resource element (RE) locations. PDSCH bit-level muting or puncturing information is determined, based on radio resource management measurement and the subframes sent from the multiple CoMP base stations, to identify PDSCH REs that suffer strong CRS interference transmission from within the multiple CoMP base stations and are to be subjected to one of bit-level muting or bit-level puncturing.

Abstract:
A communications system includes a macro base station, a plurality of UEs (user equipment), a plurality of small cells, and a network through which the macro base station, the UEs, and the small cells communicate with each other, the small cells within a macro coverage area of the macro base station. The macro base station comprises a processor, a memory, and a small cell on/off module which is operable, for each small cell of the plurality of small cells, to: determine an interference metric for the small cell; if the determined interference metric meets a preset condition for the small cell, then determine a loss in signal strength to the UEs associated with the small cell caused by switching off the small cell; and judge whether to switch off the small cell based on at least one of the determined interference metric or the determined loss in signal strength.
