Abstract
A communications apparatus is provided. A controller module generates a suggested sub-frame pattern describing suggested arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and schedules control signal and/or data transmissions according to the suggested sub-frame pattern. A transceiver module transmits at least a first signal carrying information regarding the suggested sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus. The peer communications apparatus does not schedule data transmissions in the almost blank sub-frame(s).
Claims15
A communications apparatus, comprising:
- a controller module, generating a suggested sub-frame pattern describing suggested arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and scheduling control signal and/or data transmissions according to the suggested sub-frame pattern;
- and
- a transceiver module, transmitting at least a first signal carrying information regarding the suggested sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus,
- wherein the peer communications apparatus does not schedule data transmissions in the almost blank sub-frame(s).
A communications apparatus, comprising:
- a controller module, generating a predetermined sub-frame pattern describing arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and scheduling control signal and/or data transmissions according to the predetermined sub-frame pattern, wherein the controller module does not schedule data transmission in the almost blank sub-frame(s);
- and
- a transceiver module, transmitting at least a first signal carrying information regarding the predetermined sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus.
A method for coordinating transmissions between different communications apparatuses, comprising:
- generating a predetermined sub-frame pattern describing arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one ore more frame(s);
- informing at least a peer communications apparatus about the predetermined sub-frame pattern;
- and
- scheduling control signal and/or data transmissions according to the predetermined sub-frame pattern.
