US 2013/0155936 A1 · METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING ENERGY-SAVING CELL

Abstract

A method for configuring a cell includes the following steps. A network node obtains information for configuring serviceless Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) sub-frames of a first cell; and the network node configures serviceless MBSFN sub-frames of a neighboring cell of the first cell by alternating the serviceless MBSFN sub-frames of the neighboring cell with the serviceless MBSFN sub-frames of the first cell according to the information for configuring the serviceless MB SFN sub-frames of the first cell. In the method for configuring the first cell, the serviceless MBSFN sub-frames of the neighboring cell alternate with the serviceless MBSFN sub-frames of the first cell, thereby reducing interference between cells and improving stability of the system.

Dependent claims

A method for configuring a cell, comprising:

obtaining, by a network node, information for configuring a first set of serviceless Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) sub-frame(s) of a first cell;
and
configuring, by the network node, a second set of serviceless MBSFN sub-frame(s) of a neighboring cell of the first cell by alternating or partly alternating the second set of serviceless MBSFN sub-frame(s) with the first set of serviceless MBSFN sub-frame(s) according to the information for configuring the first set of serviceless MBSFN sub-frame(s).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
