Abstract
Various methods for managing interference handling overhead are provided. One example method includes generating interference overload indication information and causing the interference overload information to be transmitted on a broadcast channel for relay nodes, wherein the transmission via the broadcast channel indicates that the interference overload indication information is for a donor cell. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided. Additional example methods and apparatuses are also provided.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- generating, using a processor, interference overload indication information, wherein generating interference overload indication information includes generating interference overload indication information at a donor cell;
- and
- causing the interference overload indication information to be transmitted on a broadcast channel for relay nodes, wherein the transmission via the broadcast channel indicates that the interference overload indication information is for the donor cell without the interference overload indication information comprising an identifier of the donor cell, wherein the donor cell supports at least one relay node by establishing a backhaul interface with the respective relay node.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, direct the apparatus at least to:
- generate interference overload indication information, wherein generating interference overload indication information includes generating interference overload indication information at a donor cell;
- and
- cause the interference overload indication information to be transmitted on a broadcast channel for relay nodes, wherein the transmission via the broadcast channel indicates that the interference overload indication information is for the donor cell without the interference overload indication information comprising an identifier of the donor cell, wherein the donor cell supports at least one relay node by establishing a backhaul interface with the respective relay node.
A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having executable computer-readable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-readable program code instructions being configured to:
- generate interference overload indication information, wherein generating interference overload indication information includes generating interference overload indication information at a donor cell;
- and
- cause the interference overload indication information to be transmitted on a broadcast channel for relay nodes, wherein the transmission via the broadcast channel indicates that the interference overload indication information is for the donor cell without the interference overload indication information comprising an identifier of the donor cell, wherein the donor cell supports at least one relay node by establishing a backhaul interface with the respective relay node.
