Abstract
Enabling resource partitioning in a wireless communication is provided. A terminal can measure channel quality and other information in a wireless communication environment and prepare a VCQI report. The report can be transmitted to a serving base station and/or non-serving base stations. The report information can be utilized by the base stations to allocate resources and/or to facilitate handoff within the wireless communication environment.
Claims26
A method for enabling resource partitioning in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- receiving a vectorized channel quality indicator (VCQI) report from a terminal within the wireless communication system;
- and
- determining a target reuse set to allocate based on the VCQI report,
- wherein the VCQI report includes average channel quality information that is measured by the terminal on a plurality of sectors and reported at a lower frequency relative to an instantaneous channel quality reporting interval of the terminal and is received by a non-serving base station of the terminal via backhaul signaling.
A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:
- a processor that executes instructions for accepting profile information from a terminal via backhaul signaling and determining a target reuse set to assign based on the profile information;
- and
- a memory that stores information generated by the processor,
- wherein the profile information includes average channel quality information that is measured by the terminal on a plurality of sectors and reported at a lower frequency relative to an instantaneous channel quality reporting interval of the wireless communications apparatus, and
- wherein the wireless communications apparatus is a non-serving base station of the terminal.
A wireless communications apparatus that facilitates resource planning in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- means for receiving a VCQI report from a terminal within the wireless communication system via backhaul signaling;
- and
- means for determining a target reuse set to allocate based on the VCQI report,
- wherein the VCQI report includes average channel quality information that is measured by the terminal on a plurality of sectors and reported at a lower frequency relative to an instantaneous channel quality reporting interval of the wireless communications apparatus, and
- wherein the wireless communications apparatus is a non-serving base station of the terminal.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a non-serving base station of a terminal, cause the non-serving base station to perform operations, the instructions comprising:
- receiving profile information from the terminal, wherein the profile information is included in a VCQI report;
- and
- assigning a target reuse set based on the profile information,
- wherein the profile information includes average channel quality information that is measured by the terminal on a plurality of sectors and reported at a lower frequency relative to an instantaneous channel quality reporting interval of the terminal and is received by the non-serving base station of the terminal via backhaul signaling.
An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a VCQI report from a terminal via backhaul signaling;
- allocate a target reuse set based on the VCQI report;
- determine a power profile of the apparatus based on the VCQI report;
- and
- adjust a transmit power of the apparatus based on the determined power profile,
- wherein the VCQI report includes average channel quality information that is measured by the terminal on a plurality of sectors and reported at a lower frequency relative to an instantaneous channel quality reporting interval of the terminal, and
- wherein the apparatus is a non-serving base station of the terminal.
