Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Technology for spatial domain beamforming coordination at a low power node (LPN) in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) is disclosed. One method can include the LPN collecting spatial feedback information of macro node interference from a plurality of wireless devices in a LPN cell. The LPN can compile the spatial feedback information into a spatial feedback report. The LPN can send the spatial feedback report from the LPN to a macro node for calculating a beamforming vector to reduce the macro node interference for the plurality of wireless devices in the LPN cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions adapted to be executed to implement the method for spatial domain beamforming coordination at a low power node (LPN) in a heterogeneous network (HetNet), comprising: collecting at the LPN spatial feedback information of macro node interference from a plurality of wireless devices in a LPN cell; compiling the spatial feedback information at the LPN into a spat…
