Abstract
In wireless communication systems, a determination may be made whether to hand off a user equipment (UE) based on whether the UE encounters time varying interference, such as UE to UE interference. The time varying interference may be present only in a specific set of time/frequency resources or subframes. Measurement reporting may be restricted to time/frequency resources which do not experience the time varying interference.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
- communicating with a user equipment (UE);
- and
- deciding whether to hand off the UE based at least in part on a report of time varying interference, whether the UE is expected to see time varying interference, or a capability of the UE to handle the time varying interference, the report comprising at least one restricted measurement report corresponding to subframes not expected to experience UE to UE interference, and the subframes being identified based at least in part on a message from the UE identifying a configuration of neighbor cells.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for communicating with a user equipment (UE);
- and
- means for deciding whether to hand off the UE based at least in part on a report of time varying interference, whether the UE is expected to see time varying interference, or a capability of the UE to handle the time varying interference, the report comprising at least one restricted measurement report corresponding to subframes not expected to experience UE to UE interference, and the subframes being identified based at least in part on a message from the UE identifying a configuration of neighbor cells.
A computer program product for communication in a wireless network, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to communicate with a user equipment (UE);
- and
- program code to decide whether to hand off the UE based at least in part on a report of time varying interference, whether the UE is expected to see time varying interference, or a capability of the UE to handle the time varying interference, the report comprising at least one restricted measurement report corresponding to subframes not expected to experience UE to UE interference, and the subframes being identified based at least in part on a message from the UE identifying a configuration of neighbor cells.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
- communicate with a user equipment (UE);
- and
- decide whether to hand off the UE based at least in part on a report of time varying interference, whether the UE is expected to see time varying interference, or a capability of the UE to handle the time varying interference, the report comprising at least one restricted measurement report corresponding to subframes not expected to experience UE to UE interference, and the subframes being identified based at least in part on a message from the UE identifying a configuration of neighbor cells.
