Abstract
In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and apparatus to perform operations including receiving information including indications of frequency and time of resource usages for a cell of a neighboring cell, wherein the frequency and time resource usages for the cell of the neighboring cell are for a predetermined amount of next frequency and time resource usages scheduled; and processing the received frequency and time resource usages to create a mapping of frequency and time pair usage specific to the neighboring cell.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive information comprising indications of frequency and time of resource usages for a cell of a neighboring cell, wherein the frequency and time resource usages for the cell of the neighboring cell are for a predetermined amount of next frequency and time resource usages scheduled for the cell;
- and
- process the received frequency and time resource usages to create a mapping of frequency and time pair usage specific to the neighboring cell, wherein the processing comprises associating current resource allocation information to the mapping to identify low interference frequency and time resource usage pairs for the resource allocation.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network device, information comprising indications of frequency and time of resource usages for a cell of a neighboring cell, wherein the frequency and time resource usages for the cell of the neighboring cell are for a predetermined amount of next frequency and time resource usages scheduled;
- and
- processing the received frequency and time resource usages to create a mapping of frequency and time pair usage specific to the neighboring cell, wherein the processing comprises associating current resource allocation information to the mapping to identify low interference frequency and time pairs for the resource allocation.
