Abstract
Aspects are described for use in wireless communications. A subframe allocation bitmap may indicate multiple subframes. The indicated subframes may correspond to Almost Blank Subframes. Measurement subframe allocation bitmaps may indicate measurement subframes. A first measurement subframe allocation bitmap may exclude subframes indicated by the subframe allocation bitmap. A second measurement subframe allocation bitmap may exclude the measurement subframes indicated by of the first measurement subframe allocation bitmap.
Claims39
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a node, a first message comprising:
- a time interval allocation repetition period;
- a time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a first time interval allocation bitmap indicating a first configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- transmitting, based on a traffic load of the node satisfying a traffic load threshold, a second message comprising:
- the time interval allocation repetition period;
- the time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a second time interval allocation bitmap different from the first time interval allocation bitmap, wherein the second time interval allocation bitmap indicates a second configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- wherein a transmission power associated with a reduced transmission power time intervals is lower than a transmission power associated with a non-reduced transmission power time interval.

A node comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the node to:
- transmit a first message comprising:
- a time interval allocation repetition period;
- a time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a first time interval allocation bitmap indicating a first configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- transmit, based on a traffic load of the node satisfying a traffic load threshold, a second message comprising:
- the time interval allocation repetition period;
- the time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a second time interval allocation bitmap different from the first time interval allocation bitmap, wherein the second time interval allocation bitmap indicates a second configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- wherein a transmission power associated with a reduced transmission power time intervals is lower than a transmission power associated with a non-reduced transmission power time interval.

A system comprising:
- a first node;
- and
- a second node;
- wherein the first node is configured to:
- transmit a first message comprising:
- a time interval allocation repetition period;
- a time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a first time interval allocation bitmap indicating a first configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- transmit, based on a traffic load of the node satisfying a traffic load threshold, a second message comprising:
- the time interval allocation repetition period;
- the time interval allocation offset;
- and
- a second time interval allocation bitmap different from the first time interval allocation bitmap, wherein the second time interval allocation bitmap indicates a second configuration of reduced transmission power time intervals;
- and
- wherein the second node is configured to:
- receive the first message;
- and
- receive the second message;
- and
- wherein a transmission power associated with a reduced transmission power time intervals is lower than a transmission power associated with a non-reduced transmission power time interval.
