Abstract:
A method and base station (600) of a first cell (602), for—controlling inter-cell interference in a cellular network when Discontinuous Reception, DRX, is applied for User Equipments, UEs. The base station selects a DRX scheme with active periods that are separated in time from active periods of a DRX scheme used for UEs in DRX mode in a neighboring second cell (806). The selected DRX scheme is then used for a first UE (604) in DRX mode in the first cell to avoid interference between transmissions of signals in the active periods to the first UE in the first cell and transmissions of signals in active periods to the UEs in the neighboring second cell.
Abstract:
A method and a network node for setting a first number of subframes for downlink transmission of a first cell are disclosed. The downlink transmission in each subframe of the first number of subframes has a reduced power. The network node obtains information about at least one first user equipment's capability of mitigating interference, the interference being caused by the downlink transmission. Next, the network node sets the first number of subframes based on the information about the at least one first user equipment's capability of mitigating the interference.
Abstract:
A method and a network node (110) for determining an indication of interference mitigation in a receiver comprised in a user equipment (120) are provided. The network node (110) receives, from the user equipment (120), a first set of measures and a second set of measures. The first set of measures relates to a signal received by the user equipment (120) and the second set of measures relates to the same signal. The first set of measures was obtained by the user equipment (120) prior to processing of the signal in the receiver, and the second set of measures was obtained by the user equipment (120) after processing of the signal in the receiver. Next, the network node (110) determines (202) the indication of interference mitigation based on the first and second sets of measures.
