Abstract
During transmission of data by radio transmissions from a first radio device to a second radio device, a third radio device is controlled to transmit an interference signal on radio resources used by the radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device. The transmission of the data is coordinated with transmission of the interference signal, and an effect of the interference signal on the radio transmissions is monitored.
Claims29
A method of managing radio transmissions, the method comprising:
- during transmission of data by radio transmissions from a first radio device to a second radio device, controlling a third radio device to transmit an interference signal on radio resources used by the radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device;
- before transmission of the data, coordinating transmission of the data with transmission of the interference signal by, when scheduling a radio transmission on the radio resources on which the third radio device is to transmit the interference signal, further scheduling a retransmission of data to be conveyed by the radio transmission;
- and
- monitoring an effect of the interference signal on the radio transmissions.
An apparatus for managing radio transmissions, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory containing instructions executable by said at least one processor whereby the apparatus is operative to,
- during transmission of data by radio transmissions from a first radio device to a second radio device, control a third radio device to transmit an interference signal on radio resources used by the radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device;
- before transmission of the data, coordinate transmission of the data with transmission of the interference signal by, when scheduling a radio transmission on the radio resources on which the third radio device is to transmit the interference signal, further scheduling a retransmission of data to be conveyed by the radio transmission, and
- monitor an effect of the interference signal on the radio transmissions.

-30. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- a first radio device, a second radio device, and a third radio device,
- the first radio device and the second radio device being configured to transmit data by radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device;
- the third radio device being configured to transmit an interference signal on radio resources used by the radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device;
- at least one of the first radio device, the second radio device, and the third radio device being configured to, before transmission of the data, coordinate transmission of the data with transmission of the interference signal by, when scheduling a radio transmission on the radio resources on which the third radio device is to transmit the interference signal, further scheduling a retransmission of data to be conveyed by the radio transmission;
- and
- at least one of the first radio device, the second radio device, and the third radio device being configured to monitor an effect of the interference signal on the radio transmissions.
(canceled)
A computer program product comprising program code to be executed by at least one processor of an apparatus for management of radio transmissions, whereby execution of the program code causes the apparatus to:
- during transmission of data by radio transmissions from a first radio device to a second radio device, control a third radio device to transmit an interference signal on radio resources used by the radio transmissions from the first radio device to the second radio device;
- before transmission of the data, coordinate transmission of the data with transmission of the interference signal by, when scheduling a radio transmission on the radio resources on which the third radio device is to transmit the interference signal, further scheduling a retransmission of data to be conveyed by the radio transmission;
- and
- monitor an effect of the interference signal on the radio transmissions.
