Abstract
Enabling resource partitioning in a wireless communication is provided. A terminal can measure channel quality and other information in a wireless communication environment and prepare a VCQI report. The report can be transmitted to a serving base station and/or non-serving base stations. The report information can be utilized by the base stations to allocate resources and/or to facilitate handoff within the wireless communication environment.
Claims43
A method for enabling resource partitioning in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- receiving a vectorized channel quality indicator (VCQI) report from at least one terminal within the wireless communication system;
- and
- determining which resource to allocate based on the VCQI report.
A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:
- a processor that executes instructions for accepting profile information from at least one terminal and determining resources to assign based on the profile information;
- and
- a memory that stores information generated by the processor.
A wireless communications apparatus that facilitates resource planning, comprising:
- means for receiving a VCQI report from at least one terminal within the wireless communication system;
- and
- means for determining which resource to allocate based on the VCQI profile.
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-executable instructions for:
- receiving profile information from at least one terminal, wherein the profile information is included in a VCQI report;
- and
- assigning resources based on the received profile information.
An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a VCQI report from at least one terminal;
- allocate at least one resource based on the VCQI report;
- determine a power profile based on the VCQI report;
- and
- adjust a transmit power based on the determined power profile.
A method for transmitting power profile information in a wireless communication environment, comprising:
- measuring a channel quality;
- creating a VCQI report that includes the measured channel quality information;
- and
- transmitting the VCQI report to at least one base station.
A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:
- a processor that executes instructions for measuring a channel quality, creating a report that includes the channel quality information and communicating the report to at least one base station;
- and
- a memory that stores information generated by the processor.
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- means for evaluating a channel quality;
- means for creating a VCQI report that includes the evaluated channel quality information;
- and
- means for conveying the VCQI report to at least one base station.
A machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-executable instructions for:
- evaluating a channel quality;
- creating a VCQI report that includes the evaluated channel quality information;
- and
- conveying the VCQI report to at least one base station, wherein the at least one base station is a serving base station or a non-serving base station.
An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a plurality of signals each signal corresponding to at least a portion of at least one tile;
- evaluate a location of at least one null pilot in the tile;
- and
- determine interference information based upon the at least one pilot.
