Abstract:
A method and system are described for improving operating efficiency and QoS in a cellular communications network. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method includes predicting background interference levels due at least partly to signals generated in neighboring cells, and transmitting operating parameters to user equipment that include power, frequency, and/or spectral efficiency parameters. The operating parameters are selected according to the predicted background interference to provide acceptable quality of service while also optimizing use of available bandwidth. The method further includes updating the background interference predictions, and transmitting revised operating parameters to the user equipment according to rules that minimize changes to operating parameters that strongly affect background interference in neighboring cells, such as power levels and frequencies, thereby minimizing background interference fluctuations. Power levels for user equipment entering the cell can be initially minimized, and then slowly ramped to an optimal level. SPS can be implemented.

Claim (Index 25):
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, executable by a machine, for improving background interference level predictions in a cellular communications system including at least a first and second BS each serving respective first and second cells, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:\n determining a background interference level received at the first BS caused at least in part by wireless signals generated by a second user equipment (\u201cUE\u201d) served by the second cell; determining a background interference level received at the second BS caused at least in part by wireless signals generated by a first UE served by the first cell; determining revised operating parameters for the first UE that minimize changes to the background interference level received at the second BS; determining revised operating parameters for the second UE that minimize changes to the background interference level received at the first BS; wherein the revised operating parameters for the first UE and the second UE include at least one of transmission power, communication frequency, time slot, spreading code, and spectral efficiency parameters; and transmitting the respective revised operating parameters to the first UE and the second UE.
