2 UL Interference Coordination/Control IoT control is critical for m MS battery life Cell edge coverage/performance Inter-cell interference control using overload indicator To tightly control IoT, neighbor APs need to share uplink performance metrics, e.g. High/unacceptable IoT Average IoT changes significantly over the whole band; Unsatisfactory uplink performance; Load change in the cell; The interval between updatings can be hundreds of milliseconds (slow) Above metrics are sent through backhaul messaging Scheduler at APs can utilize the uplink performance metrics from neighboring cells to perform UL scheduling and resource allocation Fractional power control (see contribution C802.16m-08/626) Alternatively, each MS can derive its own transmission power and MCS using DL/UL reciprocity and control message from BS
3 Classification of ICIC Schemes Static Each cell is configured statically, e.g. a certain (1/3) part of the bandwidth are reserved for the transmissions of the cell-edge UEs For uniformly distributed cells with evenly loaded traffic, static ICIC schemes can achieve the maximum gain of ICIC. Dynamic or Semi-Static Each cell decides a part of the bandwidth for the transmissions of the cell-edge UEs based on its traffic load, MSs’ distribution, information from its neighboring cells etc. High Interference Indicator (HII) is sent to the neighboring cells HII is sent as a bitmap for each frequency band Handshake procedure is defined to make sure that the system converges to stable status with reasonable gain from ICIC.
