METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTIVE ALLOCATION OF ADAPTIVE RESOURCE PARTITIONING INFORMATION (ARPI) TO PICO ENHANCED NODE B BY MACRO ENHANCED NODE B IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK

摘要

Methods and apparatus for effectively allocating resource partitioning information (RPI) in a wireless communication network are provided. For certain aspects a method for wireless communications generally includes receiving at a first base station such as a pico enhanced Node B (eNB) resource partitioning information (RPI) from at least one second base station such as a macro eNB; determining one or more resources indicated in the RPI actually usable by the first base station; and sending from the first base station to the at least one second base station an indication of the actually usable resources.
