Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method in a base station for assisting in a coordination of frequency band selections for interfering uplink transmissions in a cellular network. The base station selects a first frequency band and a second frequency band. The first frequency band is to be used in the first cell for uplink transmissions from which an estimated interference in a second cell exceeds a first threshold. The second frequency band is to be used in the first cell for uplink transmissions from which an estimated interference in a third cell exceeds a second threshold. The base station informs a serving base station of the second cell and a serving base station of the third cell about the selection, thereby assisting these base stations in coordinating their respective frequency band selection with that of the base station.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method in a first base station for assisting in a coordination of frequency band selections for interfering uplink transmissions in a cellular network, wherein the first base station serves a first cell in the cellular network, wherein the cellular network further comprises a second cell and a third cell neighboring the first cell, the method comprising: selecting from a cell-edge band allocated to the first cell, a first frequency band and a second…
