Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for interference avoidance. The method which may be performed by a network node comprises selecting a serving beam for a terminal device from candidate beams reported to the network node by the terminal device, based at least in part on inter-cell interference information of the candidate beams. The method may further comprise informing the terminal device of the selected serving beam.
Claims22
A method performed by a network node, comprising:
- selecting a serving beam for a terminal device from candidate beams reported to the network node by the terminal device, based at least in part on inter-cell interference information of the candidate beams;
- and
- informing the terminal device of the selected serving beam.
A method performed by a terminal device, comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, information about a serving beam selected from candidate beams reported to the network node by the terminal device, wherein the selection of the serving beam is based at least in part on inter-cell interference information of the candidate beams.
The method according to 18, wherein the serving cell measurement information of the terminal device indicates at least one of:
- serving cell signal quality of the terminal device being lower than a second quality threshold;
- and
- at least one of the candidate beams reported by the terminal device meeting a second criterion.
-21. (canceled)
A network node, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing computer program codes,
- the one or more memories and the computer program codes configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the network node at least to:
- select a serving beam for a terminal device from candidate beams reported to the network node by the terminal device, based at least in part on inter-cell interference information of the candidate beams;
- and
- inform the terminal device of the selected serving beam.
