VIRTUAL SCHEDULING IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

Title:

VIRTUAL SCHEDULING IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2014090452

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To realize interference reduction for a macro coverage area or nearby coverage areas in heterogeneous networks.

Provided is virtual management of wireless resources in a mobile communication environment. Access terminals in the communication environment can maintain connections with nearby network transmitters and report factors pertinent to wireless scheduling to a central entity, such as a macro base station. The macro base station can employ those factors in improving wireless communications for other serving cells within or near to a macro coverage area served by the macro base station. By maintaining information pertinent to prevailing wireless conditions, quality of service requirements, pilot signal reports, mobility management considerations, and so on, of transmissions within the cells, significant interference reduction can be realized.
