Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing cell traffic load and interference, the method comprising: recognizing a resource allocation message forwarded from a relay device at a first base station, the resource allocation message providing information about one or more resource blocks used for communication between the relay device and an end device within a first network cell; determining resource allocations for communication between the end device and the relay device at the first base station in the first network cell based on the information provided in the resource allocation message; determining whether any of the resource allocations meet one or more criteria for alerting a second base station in a neighboring second network cell; and in response to a determination that at least one of the criteria is met, transmitting an alert signal from the first base station to the second base station on behalf of the communication between the end device and the relay device indicating the resource is allocated for communication between the end device and the relay device in the first network cell.
