Abstract
A method that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, interference information associated with one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs) from each base station of a plurality of base stations. Further, the method can include determining, by the system, from the interference information a strategy for improving a PRB utilization of a first base station of the plurality of base stations. In addition, the method can include conveying, by the system, the strategy to at least one base station of the plurality of base stations. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
An end user device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, first information associated with a threshold;
- performing signal strength measurements;
- detecting, according to the signal strength measurement, a pattern of interference over time based on the threshold;
- transmitting, to the base station, second information associated with the detecting of the pattern of interference over time;
- and
- receiving, from the base station, an instruction for mitigating the pattern of interference, wherein the instruction is generated according to the second information, wherein the mitigating is based on scheduling in a time slot scheme that mitigates the interference.
An end user device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, first information associated with a threshold;
- performing signal strength measurements on received signals;
- detecting, according to the signal strength measurement, a pattern of interference over time based on the threshold;
- transmitting, to the base station, second information associated with the detecting of the pattern of interference over time;
- and
- receiving, from the base station, an instruction for mitigating the pattern of interference, wherein the instruction is generated according to the second information, wherein the mitigating is based on uplink timing adjustments that mitigate the interference.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an end user device from a base station, first information associated with a threshold;
- performing, by the end user device, signal strength measurements on downlink signals;
- detecting, by the end user device utilizing the signal strength measurements, a pattern of interference over time based on the threshold;
- transmitting, by the end user device to the base station, second information associated with the detecting of the pattern of interference over time;
- and
- receiving, by the end user device from the base station, an instruction for mitigating the pattern of interference, wherein the instruction is generated according to the second information, wherein the mitigating is based on adjustments to utilization of physical resource blocks.
