Problem Statement

  • In present era, a wireless network includes one or more base stations that provide services to a coverage area and two main challenges of wireless network operator would be to improve network coverage, & throughput of the cellular systems.
  • Further, there was many user equipment like relay stations used by the operator to improve the capacity or coverage however the throughput minimizes.
  • There are many techniques are discussed, which suffers congestion of resource, complex route and time delay, high interference & reduced system throughput including other issues.
  • Hence, there is a need to address above issues.

Technology

  • Present invention describes a method for interference management in heterogeneous/homogeneous communication networks.
  • The communication networks comprise one or more Base stations(BS), Relay stations(RS), Femto Base Stations(FBS), Pico Base Stations(PBS) & Micro Base Stations(MBS) depicted in figures.
  • The method provides a technical solution which is discussed herein & shown in figures.
  • 1ststep states that performing interference measurements for a specific group of said RS, FBS, PBS, & MBS and said UE sending said interference measurement to a serving BS;
  • 2nd step states that classifying each of the UEs as either a victim UE of said BS, RS, FBS, PBS, & MBS or as a safe UE based on the measurement received from said UEs;
  • 3rd step states that sending a list of victim UEs to each of said BS, FBS, PBS, & MBS & said RS either receiving a list of its victim UEs from said serving BS or from uplink (UL) signalling; and
  • 4th step states that performing resource allocation for said UEs of said BS, FBS, PBS, & MBS.

Key Features/ Value Proposition

Technical Perspective:

  • The subject Patent discloses a method to enable dynamic distributed resource allocation for interference management for the access link of one or more BS, RS, FBS, PBS, MBS in a heterogeneous/homogeneous communication networks.

Industrial Perspective:

The network has minimal centralized controller entity.

  • Adapted to have resources allocated by the scheduler for access link of each BS, RS, MBS, FBS, PBS can be partially/completely orthogonal in time, and/or code and/or space.
