Abstract:
1. A method for managing interference, comprising: detecting, by a user device, downlink interference from one or more interfering base stations, the user device operating in a cell of a serving base station different from the one or more interfering base stations; receiving, from one or more visible base stations, one or more uplink radio interference indications identifying one or more frequency locations where at least one of uplink interference currently exceeds a first specified threshold or uplink interference is targeted not to exceed a second specified threshold; determining, by the user device, the one or more identified frequency locations include transmissions from the user device based, at least in part, on the one or more uplink radio interference indications; determining, by the user device, an uplink radio resource set from a plurality of predefined uplink radio resource sets and a downlink radio resource set from a plurality of predefined downlink radio resource sets based, at least in part, on at least one of determining the user device causes uplink interference in at least one of the one or more identified frequency locations or the detected downlink interference; and transmitting, to the serving base station, a radio resource indication requesting allocation of the determined uplink radio resource set.
