Abstract

See full text

The invention provide methods for classifying user equipments (UEs) communicating with a serving base station (Node B) according to their experienced average interference in subsets of frequency or time resources. The classification utilizes existing channel quality indication (CQI) reports the UEs send to their serving Node B for the purposes of data scheduling. Multiple CQI reports are averaged to practically eliminate short term variations caused by fast fading and capture the long term interference and signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) that the UEs experience. By capturing this average interference and SINR, a reference Node B can apply interference co-ordination through fractional frequency reuse or fractional time reuse.
