Patent ID: 8213951

Claim:
A system, comprising: a mobile device associated with a serving base station that serves the mobile device; and at least one processor, within the mobile device, communicatively coupled to at least one memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions that at least: transmit information, indicative of a set of resource blocks in use by the mobile device and the serving base station, to a specified base station, in response to a determination that the mobile device is at a cell edge with regard to the serving base station, wherein the information enables the specified base station to facilitate management of reuse of the set of resource blocks, and calculate a margin between a serving synch channel signal strength and a neighbor synch channel signal strength, and determine that the mobile device is at the cell edge in response to the margin meeting a predefined threshold level that is indicative of a risk of interference being received by the mobile device, wherein the interference is associated with a neighbor base station.
