Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: employing enhanced coordinated multi-point transmission by a enhanced node base station (eNB) in a wireless neighborhood to coordinate wireless transmissions to and from a user equipment (UE) traveling through the wireless neighborhood, wherein cellular regions in the wireless neighborhood are combined to form clusters, each cluster comprising a plurality of cellular regions, each cellular region being occupied by one of a plurality of eNBs, the enhanced coordinated multi-point transmission further comprising: employing enhanced fractional frequency reuse by the eNB in the cluster to allocate a frequency band to be used for the wireless transmissions, wherein the cluster is divided into a center region and a plurality of edge regions, the plurality of edge regions substantially corresponding to the edges of the plurality of cellular regions making up the cluster.
