摘要： The Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) network, is a heterogeneous network, where macro and pico base stations (BSs) coexist to improve spectral efficiency per unit area. Systems and methods described herein attempt to provide a solution to the interference coordination problem between macro BSs and pico user equipments (UEs). Specifically, the systems and methods conduct interference coordination based on the concept of almost blank subframe (ABS), which is supported by the LTE-A standard. The macro BSs choose their ABS configurations in a cooperative way such that the overall system throughput is optimized.

摘要： A base station (BS) comprises: an interface to receive radio resource management (RRM) measurement from user equipment on received reference signal (RS) strength for each BS of one or more other BSs in a surrounding area of the user equipment; an X2 interface to receive transmission information of almost blank subframes and corresponding cell-specific reference signal (CRS) resource element (RE) locations from the one or more other BSs; and a controller to manage bit-level PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) muting information, which includes identifying PDSCH resource elements (REs) that suffer the most from CRS interference arising from other BSs and that are to be subjected to bit-level muting, and allocating to the identified REs a number of bits less than the number of bits allocated to normal REs, and to transfer data with the two levels of bit allocations to various PDSCH REs to the user equipment.

摘要： A central base station for interference management in a distributed antenna system comprises a processor; a memory; and a frequency partition module configured to divide the remote radio heads into clusters and allocate a frequency band to each cluster. Multiple clusters use the same frequency band and groups of clusters are formed. A joint scheduler is configured, for each group, to activate at most two clusters at any given time and deactivate remaining clusters in the group, one of the at most two activated clusters being a serving cluster of the group, and to associate one or more users with the serving cluster in the group. An interference alignment module is configured to apply downlink interference alignment between the at most two activated clusters in each group to align transmit directions of all interferences between the at most two activated clusters.

摘要： Example implementations are directed to systems and methods based on physical broadcast channel (PBCH) muting are utilized to avoid frequent cell selection/reselection and handover in a LTE-advanced heterogeneous network. In the example implementations, a pico eNB that is fully covered by a macro eNB or other pico eNBs transmits blank PBCH such that it is inaccessible to the UEs who perform cell selection/reselection. Furthermore, a macro eNB may handover a UE to the inaccessible pico eNB by signalling the necessary information to the UE to detect the inaccessible pico eNB. Frequent cell selection/reselection and handover may therefore be avoided in a dense deployment situation.

摘要： Systems and methods are directed to deciding the number of subframes in a frame to use for uplink transmission, with the remaining frames used for downlink transmission for a Base Station (BS) in a Time Division Duplexing Long Term Evolution (TDD-LTE). Systems and methods are based on the number of User Equipment (UEs) that the BS has to serve in the uplink and in the downlink, as well as the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) traffic loads per user. Systems and methods are directed to allowing a TDD LTE BS to partition the subframes in a frame for its UL and DL traffic.
