Abstract
A method for identifying potentially interfering devices is provided. The method may include receiving, by a first base station, an information element comprising information for identifying location of a first device with respect to the first base station, and sending a request to a second base station. The request may include location information on the basis of the received information element. The method may include receiving, in response to the request, an identifier of at least one further device, and transmitting the identifier of the at least one further device to the first device for interference measurements.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive an information element comprising information for identifying location of a first device at least with respect to the apparatus;
- send a request to a base station, the request comprising location information on the basis of the received information element;
- receive, in response to the request, an identifier of at least one further device;
- and
- transmit the identifier of the at least one further device to the first device for interference measurements.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit, to a first base station, an information element comprising information for identifying location of the apparatus at least with respect to the first base station;
- and
- receive, in response to the transmitted information and for interference measurements, an identifier of at least one further device.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a base station, a request comprising location information related to a first device associated to the base station;
- identify, in response to the received request, at least one further device located in a proximity to the first device;
- and
- transmit an identifier of the at least one further device to the base station for interference measurements by the first device.
