The present application describes embodiments of methods and apparatuses for controlling communications within a first cell that is overlapped by a second cell. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a signal at the second cell indicating a number of devices selected to communicate with the first cell and identifying a set of subframes during which communications are permitted to take place within the first cell based on the number of devices selected to communicate with the first cell. This embodiment of the method also includes delivering an indication of the set of subframes to the first cell.

The herein described device and method facilitate inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) in a relay-assistant cellular network by: determining, with respect to a sector, whether the sector is relay overloaded or neighboring sectors of the sector are relay overloaded according to load information of the neighboring sectors of the sector; enabling the sector to borrow relay resources released by the neighboring sectors of the sector if the sector is relay overloaded with respect to the neighboring sectors of the sector; and releasing relay resources allocated to the sector according to load information of the neighboring sectors of the sector if the neighboring sectors are relay overloaded with respect to the sector.

A relay method and device, wherein the control signal and the data signal which are in the same subframe are directly sent to a lower level device respectively by an upper level device and a relay function device. In one example, the relay function device transmits data signal using subscriber special reference signal to make the lower level device estimate an access channel correctly; in another example, the relay function device carries out precoding of the data signal correlative with the access channel so as to cancel the influence of the access channel, thereby make the lower level device receive data signal correctly. Retransmission control signaling is sent to the lower level device in each subframe by the upper level device to ensure the fixed sequential relationship of feedback retransmission.

One embodiment of the invention provides a mechanism to assist the eNodeB of the second cell, for example macrocell eNodeB or femtocell eNodeB to determine the configuration of ABSs. To be specific, the eNodeB of the first cell sends a request signaling to the eNodeB of the second cell to inform of the requirement for ABSs. The eNodeB of the second cell receives the request signaling from the eNodeB of the first cell, and then it determines the pattern of ABSs and sends the pattern of ABSs in the form of bitmap through a signaling to the eNodeB of the first cell. As the requirement for ABSs is determined by the eNodeB of the first cell on the basis of the number of the UEs and/or the traffic load of the UEs which are near the edge of coverage area of the picocell, it can help the eNodeB of the second cell to determine the configuration of ABSs, i.e. the pattern of ABSs, so that the efficient resource utilization is achieved.

The eNB of a first cell being interfered by at least one second cell, obtains pattern information, from the eNB of the second cell or network configuration, indicating almost blank subframes that are configured by the eNB of the second cell or the network configuration; determines measurement signalling indicating subframes; and sends the measurement signalling to the UE. The UE in the first cell receives the measurement signalling from the serving eNB, the measurement signalling comprising at least one pattern information recommended by at least one second cell or network configuration, each of the pattern information indicating at least one almost blank subframe that is configured by the corresponding second cell; determines the resource used for measurement according to the measurement signalling; and carries out measurement on the determined resource.

摘要:
The present invention discloses a method of requesting resource from a resource allocating apparatus by a request requesting apparatus, a resource allocating apparatus, a resource requesting apparatus and a communication system. The method comprises the following steps: sending a resource request message from the resource requesting apparatus to the resource allocating apparatus; after receiving the resource request message, if resource cannot be allocated within a set time interval with respect to the resource requesting apparatus, sending an acknowledgement for the resource request message from the resource allocating apparatus to the resource requesting apparatus; and if the resource is allocated to the resource requesting apparatus within the set time interval, not sending the acknowledgement for the resource request message from the resource allocating apparatus to the resource requesting apparatus. Utilizing the method and structure of the present invention, the resource allocating apparatus sends additional acknowledgement message only if needed, therefore overhead is reduced much more. Moreover, since the solution of the present invention does not change any signaling exchanged between the resource allocating apparatus and the resource requesting apparatus, it is able to meet the requirement of backward compatibility.
