Abstract:
1. A method for interference management in heterogeneous/homogeneous communication networks, wherein said communication networks have one or more Base Stations (BS), Relay Stations (RS), Femto Base Stations (FBS), Pico Base Stations (PBS), and Micro Base Stations (MBS), said method comprising: a User Equipment (UE) performing interference measurement for a specific group of said one or more BS, RS, MBS, FBS, and PBS and said UE sends said interference measurement to a serving BS; said serving BS classifying said UE as either a victim UE of said one or more RS, BS, FBS, PBS, and MBS or as a safe UE based on said measurement received from said UE; a scheduler assigning a set of resources to each of said one or more RS, BS, FBS, PBS, and MBS to be used in an access link based on said classification of said UE and when the UE is classified as the victim controls transmit power of said RS, MBS, FBS, PBS using a control message, wherein said set of resources are partially or completely orthogonal to resources in time and/or frequency and/or code and/or space utilized by said UE classified as the victim of said one or more RS, BS, FBS, PBS, and MBS; and applying dynamic power control over wide band pilots of said one or more BS, RS, MBS, FBS, and PBS based on said interference measurement from said UE, wherein said dynamic power control on said wide band pilots is independent of said dynamic power control employed for data blocks.
