Title: Communication system
Inventor: CHADI KHIRALLAH
IPC: H04W72/02
Filed: 2018-04-06
Abstract: A communication system and method is disclosed in which a first radio access network (RAN) node 5-1 configured to operate in accordance with new radio (NR / 5G) standards identifies resources that the first RAN node is to use for transmissions, for protection from interference from at least one further RAN node 5-2. The first RAN node sends, to the further RAN node, information indicating the identified resources for protection from interference S1310. The information indicating the identified resources comprises a list of parameters, which may include resource bitmaps indicating time and frequency resources, based on which the further RAN node is able to determine the resources for protection from interference. The further RAN node configures its transmissions to protect the indicated resources and sends to the first RAN node an indication that the indicated resources can be protected S1314. This may improve interference co-ordination between different types of RAN nodes in a radio access network.
