Abstract:
1. A method that facilitates controlling interference in a wireless communication environment, comprising: determining a first transmit power for a first transmission symbol from a puncturing pattern as a function of a cell identifier (ID) of an interfering base station and a first transmit time in a first subframe; determining a second transmit power for a second transmission symbol from the puncturing pattern as a function of the cell ID and a second transmit time in a second subframe, wherein the puncturing pattern is defined on a subframe basis and sets the first transmit power for the first transmission symbol in the first subframe from a frame at a first level and sets the second transmit power for the second transmission symbol in the second subframe from the frame at a second level that is lower than the first level; sending the first transmission symbol at the first transmit power; and sending the second transmission symbol at the second transmit power.
