Abstract:
Random distributions of elements in a power schedule can be used to reduce interference in wireless communication networks with multiple transmitters. A random power schedule may be implemented by determining a first random power schedule for a first base station, wherein the first random power schedule is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) schedule that associates a random distribution of a plurality of power levels with a corresponding plurality of time and frequency resources, assigning transmissions from the first base station to a plurality of mobile devices to the plurality of time and frequency resources, and transmitting data to the plurality of mobile devices at the respective plurality of power levels.
Abstract:
A networked computing system capable of mitigating interference amongst neighboring base stations. The networked computing system includes multiple base stations, user equipment, a network resource controller, and a data communications network facilitating data communications amongst all network devices. A serving base station is configured to acquire interference metrics from its local user equipment and then generate an aggregate representation from the acquired interference metrics. The network resource controller is configured to acquire the aggregate representation, determine an interference reduction associated with a neighbor base station for each of the user equipment serviced by the serving base station, determine a power schedule for the first base station based on the aggregate representation and the determined interference reduction, and then modify a power schedule for the neighbor base station based on the determined interference reduction.
