Abstract:
1. A method of performing inter-cell interference coordination, executed on one or more processors, in a heterogeneous network, comprising: receiving, by a reception unit loaded on said one or more processors, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level from a small cell base station in each frame; determining, by a determination unit loaded on said one or more processors, a calculated MCS level based on the MCS level and an interfering signal estimated through probabilistic modeling; generating, by a generation unit loaded on said one or more processors, a ratio of subframes, in which data will not be transmitted, to all subframes of a frame based on the MCS level and the calculated MCS level; and transmitting, by a transmission unit loaded on said one or more processors, the ratio and the calculated MCS level to the small cell base station.
