Abstract:
Automatic configuration of cell assignment of non-Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC)-engaged remote units in a wireless distribution communications system (WDCS) to non-ICIC-engaged WDCS cells to avoid or reduce dividing radio resources. The WDCS is configured to identify which remote units are “ICIC-engaged remote units.” A cell assignment configuration circuit is configured to identify ICIC-engaged WDCS cell(s) (i.e., in ICIC relation with a neighboring cell) among the WDCS cells in the WDCS, based on determining the WDCS cells assigned to ICIC-engaged remote units. The cell assignment configuration circuit is configured to determine a cell assignment configuration for the WDCS based on reassigning non-ICIC-engaged remote units assigned to the identified ICIC-engaged WDCS cells to non-ICIC-engaged WDCS cells. In this manner, radio resources for servicing non-ICIC-engaged remote units are not divided among non-ICIC-engaged remote units.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of configuring cell assignment of Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC)-engaged remote units in a wireless distribution communications system (WDCS), comprising:\n identifying at least one remote unit in the WDCS receiving downlink communications signals potentially transmitted by at least one neighboring cell to the WDCS, wherein the at least one remote unit comprises at least one optical-to-electrical (O-E) converter and at least one electrical-to-optical (E-O) converter; identifying at least one ICIC-engaged WDCS cell in the WDCS in ICIC with the at least one neighboring cell based on WDCS cells in the WDCS assigned to the at least one identified remote unit receiving downlink communications signals potentially transmitted by the at least one neighboring cell to the WDCS; determining at least one non-ICIC-engaged remote unit assigned to the identified at least one ICIC-engaged WDCS cell and not identified as receiving the downlink communications signals transmitted by the at least one neighboring cell; determining a cell assignment configuration for the WDCS based on reassigning the at least one non-ICIC-engaged remote unit to a non-ICIC-engaged WDCS cell; and configuring a cell assignment of at least one remote unit in the WDCS based on the determined cell assignment configuration.
