A method of operating a base station comprising:
- determining, based on system deployment information, one or more time-frequency resources to be usedfor interference power estimation, wherein the system deployment information comprises at least one of:
- a frequency reuse factor, an inter-cell interference management scheme, and a fractional frequency re-use pattern;
- generating a message indicating the one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation by a subscriber station;
- and
- transmitting the message to the subscriber station.
A wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations capable of wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber stations within a coverage area of the network, wherein at least one of the plurality of base stations is configured to:
- determine, based on system deployment information, one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation, wherein the system deployment information comprises at least one of:
- a frequency reuse factor, an inter-cell interference management scheme, and a fractional frequency re-use pattern;
- generating a message indicating the one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation by at least one of the plurality of subscriber stations;
- and
- transmit the message to the at least one subscriber station.
A base station capable of wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber stations within a coverage area of a network, where the base station is configured to:
- determine, based on system deployment information, one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation, wherein the system deployment information comprises at least one of:
- a frequency reuse factor, an inter-cell interference management scheme, and a fractional frequency re-use pattern;
- generate a message indicating the one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation by a subscriber station;
- and
- transmit the message to the subscriber station.
A subscriber station capable of wireless communication with a base station within a coverage area of a network, wherein the subscriber station is configured to:
- receive a message indicating one or more time-frequency resources to be used for interference power estimation, wherein the one or more time-frequency resources is selected based on a system deployment information comprising at least one of:
- a frequency reuse factor, an inter-cell interference management scheme, and a fractional frequency re-use pattern;
- decoding the message;
- and
- estimate an interference power using the one or more time-frequency resources indicated in the message.
