Abstract
Aspects are described for use in wireless communications. Nodes may provide wireless access to wireless devices in different coverage areas. The nodes may transmit messages having time interval allocation bitmaps that indicate reduced transmission power time intervals. The reduced transmission power time intervals may be different for different nodes.
Claims34
A system comprising:
- a plurality of first nodes, associated with a first coverage area, configured to provide wireless access to a plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one first node of the plurality of first nodes is configured to transmit, to at least one wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices, a first message comprising a first time interval allocation bitmap indicating a plurality of first reduced transmission power time intervals, and wherein a transmission power associated with reduced transmission power time intervals is lower than a transmission power associated with non-reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- a plurality of second nodes, associated with a second coverage area, configured to provide wireless access to a subset of the plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one second node of the plurality of second nodes is configured to transmit, to at least one wireless device of the subset of the plurality of wireless devices, a second message comprising a second time interval allocation bitmap indicating a plurality of second reduced transmission power time intervals, and wherein different nodes of the plurality of second nodes are configured with different reduced transmission power time intervals.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of first nodes, associated with a first coverage area, configured to provide wireless access to a plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one first node of the plurality of first nodes is configured to configure a first plurality of time intervals as first reduced transmission power time intervals, wherein a transmission power associated with reduced transmission power time intervals is lower than a transmission power associated with non-reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- a plurality of second nodes, associated with a second coverage area, configured to provide wireless access to a subset of the plurality of wireless devices, wherein at least one second node of the plurality of second nodes is configured to configure a second plurality of time intervals as second reduced transmission power time intervals, wherein different nodes of the plurality of second nodes are configured with different reduced transmission power time intervals.
