Patent ID: 8099052

Claim:
An apparatus for a multi-cell interference control service, the apparatus comprising: a user terminal for requesting interference control from a BS (base station); and a serving BS for requesting the interference control from an adjacent BS, wherein the user terminal comprises: an SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio) measurement unit for sensing interference level of an adjacent cell; a collaboration determination unit for determining whether to collaborate with the adjacent BS, considering a user QoS (quality of service); a collaboration gain determination unit for requesting multi-cell interference control, considering interference control gain; and a collaboration request signal transmission unit for requesting collaboration with the adjacent BS from the serving BS, and wherein the serving BS comprises: a collaboration gain information collection unit for collecting collaboration gain information of the user terminal; an inter-cell signal control unit for requesting inter-cell interference control; and a service start determination unit for determining whether to start an interference control service with a collaborating adjacent cell.
