Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products to facilitate determining nominal interference from one or more interfering base stations are provided. In one embodiment, the method can include computing a nominal interference. The method can also include transmitting the nominal interference to one or more interfering base stations. The nominal interference can be transmitted to at least one of the one or more interfering base stations to compute a loss in transmission rate to a user equipment in a selected cell if at least one of the one or more interfering base stations transmits over a same set of resources on which the user equipment in the selected cell receives information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for facilitating interference management in a system with one or more interfering base stations, the method comprising: receiving one or more pilot signals, wherein one or more pilot signals are received from the one or more interfering base stations at a user equipment; computing interference for the one or more interfering base stations, wherein the computing is performed at the user equipment; transmitting a measurement report, wherein the me…
