Abstract:
To reduce interference between physically close base and mobile station s belonging to uncoordinated systems of different operators, in a cellular tim e division telecommunications system, e.g. the TDD mode of UMTS, a method of operation comprises providing a sequence of time frames, each time frame including a plurality of time slots, each time slot having an allocated upli nk or downlink channel, wherein the positions of said time slots of said channels are changed in consecutive time frames of said sequence according to a deterministic sequence, e.g. a cyclic rotation. In an initial set up operation, the base station may instruct a mobile station to transmit or receive in certain time slots, and that these time slots should be changed in succeeding frames according to a predefined algorithm transmitted to the mobile station.
Abstract:
A time division multiple access cellular radio telecommunications network is disclosed, in which physical channels may be reused in the same cell. Reused channels on the up link are differentiated by a time shift between them. Same cell reuse (SCR) can thus be implemented in a TDMA (GSM) system without assigning different signatures to SDMA users sharing the same physical channel.

Abstract:
In order to double the size of cells for a UMTS/ UTRAN system operating in time division mode (TDD) from 3.75 km to 7.5 km, the node B station defines the guard period (66) for a downlink slot followed by an adjacent uplink slot to be longer than the guard period (68) for an uplink slot followed by an adjacent downlink slot, whereby the cell size is extended. Each UE adjusts its timing in reponse to timing deviation signals (64) transmitted at the start of each downlink bust, so as to transmit an uplink burst which arrive at the Node B, at the beginning of the next uplink slot.

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of managing interference in a wireless communication system. The methods may include receiving information indicative of a portion of an interfering signal (120) received by a first wireless communication device, decoding the portion of the interfering signal (120), and providing at least one back-off instruction destined for a second wireless communication device (115) based on the decoded portion of the interfering signal (120).
Abstract:
A transmit power control technique within a wireless communication system includes adjusting a transmit power used by a picocell base station unit based upon a position of the picocell within a macrocell. When a picocell base station unit is located relatively close to a macrocell base station or center of the macrocell, the transmit power of the picocell base station unit is increased to avoid downlink interference from the macrocell base station for mobile stations communicating within the picocell. When a picocell base station unit is located relatively close to an edge of a macrocell, the transmit power of the picocell base station is decreased to avoid interference caused by the picocell base station unit for mobile stations communicating within the macrocell in the vicinity of the picocell. In a disclosed example determined downlink interference levels provide an indication of the position of the picocell within the macrocell and provide an indication of how to automatically adjust the transmit power of the picocell base station unit.
