Abstract
Provided is communication control device including a determination unit which determines whether an access type of a small cell which at least partially overlaps a macro cell of a radio communication system is a closed access type or an open access type, an identification unit which, when it is determined that the access type of the small cell is the closed access type, identifies a user terminal of the macro cell which should be protected from interference caused by a radio signal from the small cell, and an interference control unit which transmits an interference control signal to a base station of the small cell so that the interference on the user terminal identified by the identification unit is reduced.
Claims14
A first communication device, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- receive resource information for a second communication device,
- wherein the second communication device communicates with a first user terminal by a radio resource indicated by the resource information,
- wherein communication between the first user terminal and a third communication device is barred;
- and
- transmit, based on the resource information, a signal to the third communication device.
A first communication device, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- determine that an access type of a second communication device is a closed access type;
- identify a first user terminal to be protected from interference caused by a radio signal from the second communication device of the closed access type based on a result of sensing received from a second user terminal,
- wherein the first user terminal is communicatively coupled to a third communication device;
- and
- inform the second communication device of radio resources which at least one of the second communication device or the first user terminal uses to transmit a signal.
A method for communication, comprising:
- receiving by a first communication device, a resource information for a second communication device,
- wherein the second communication device communicates with a first user terminal using a radio resource indicated by the resource information,
- wherein the first user terminal is barred from communicating with a third communication device;
- and
- transmitting by the first communication device, based on the resource information, a signal to the third communication device.
A first communication device, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- report a result of sensing of a first user terminal to a second communication device,
- wherein the second communication device identifies a second user terminal to be protected from interference caused by a radio signal from the first communication device based on the result of sensing of the first user terminal,
- wherein communication between the first communication device and the second user terminal is barred;
- and
- allocate radio resources, other than the radio resources allocated to the second user terminal, to the first user terminal based on a control signal received from the second communication device.
