Abstract
Systems, method and devices utilized in wireless communication may include creating, scheduling and/or using a transmission having at least one quasi-ABS which includes at least one macro set corresponding to a designated sector of a plurality of sectors in a macro node. Such subframes may be formed and partitioned to provide for a partition which may be used by a range expansion resource, such as a pico node or user entity.
Claims27
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- providing, by a user entity, interference information to a macro node;
- and
- receiving a communication scheduled by a pico node, wherein the communication is conveyed on a quasi-ABS which includes information corresponding to at least one macro set of data from a macro node.
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured:
- to provide, by a user entity, interference information to a macro node;
- and
- to receive a communication scheduled by a pico node, wherein the communication is conveyed on a quasi-ABS which includes information corresponding to at least one macro set of data from a macro node.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving access to a plurality of subframes from a macro node, wherein at least one of the plurality of subframes includes a quasi-ABS which includes information corresponding to at least one macro set of data from a macro node;
- and
- scheduling the at least one quasi-ABS to be used by a range expansion user entity.
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured:
- to receive access to a plurality of subframes from a macro node, wherein at least one of the plurality of subframes includes a quasi-ABS which includes information corresponding to at least one macro set of data from a macro node;
- and
- to schedule the at least one quasi-ABS to be used by a range expansion user entity.
