In a wireless communication system, short term interference mitigation can be used to mitigate (eg, avoid or reduce) interference on a given link to improve the performance of data transmission. Interference mitigation reduces the transmit power of interfering transmissions so that a higher signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SINR) can be achieved for the desired data transmission. A node can observe high interference from interfering nodes, which degrades the performance of data transmissions transmitted on that link. By utilizing the communication path with an interfering node (e.g., wireless data / control channel, backhaul network connection, or analog broadcast signal) as an opportunity, the transmitting node can reduce the overall resources or burden the interfering node with any managed nodes. It is possible to successfully complete time critical communication while allowing simultaneous communication without the need for this.
METHOD AND SYSTEM TO INDICATE A DESIRED TRANSMIT POWER AND SOFT POWER CONTROL IN A WIRELESS NETWORK}
This patent application claims priority to Provisional Application No. 61 / 035,979, filed March 12, 2008, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM TO INDICATE A DESIRED TRANSMIT POWER AND SOFT POWER CONTROL IN A WIRELESS NETWORK." Is assigned to its assignee and is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure generally relates to wireless communications, and more specifically to various algorithms for interference management messaging in a wireless network, but not exclusively related thereto.
Wireless networks are widely deployed to provide various services to consumers such as telephone, data, video, audio, messaging, broadcasts, and the like. Wireless networks enable broadband communications across regions, nationwide, or even the world. Such networks are sometimes referred to as wireless long range networks (WWANs). One general example of a WWAN is a cellular network that supports CDMA2000, a telecommunication standard that uses code division multiple access (CDMA) to transmit voice, data, and signaling between mobile subscribers. Another example of a WWAN is cellular that provides broadband Internet access for mobile subscribers, such as Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) or Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), all of which are part of the CDMA2000 family of air interface standards. Network. Other examples include WCDMA, HSPA and LTE. Such cellular networks generally provide coverage for a number of cellular regions with fixed-site base stations located in each cell to serve mobile subscribers.
Smaller wireless networks, known as wireless local area networks (WLANs), have been standardized, for example, by the IEEE 802.11 committee. WLANs are arranged to cover small areas with geographic coverage ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. WLANs typically use unlicensed spectrum to provide access to the network, covering only the network operator's own building premises. For example, many coffee shops, hotels, and transportation hubs include WLAN access points to the Internet.
Wireless systems deployed within these wireless networks appear to suffer from interference issues. For example, Node A wishing to receive signals from Node B may be subject to interference from a third Node C in the network. One proposed solution includes interference avoidance mechanisms. In such cases, node A may request node C not to transmit in a particular time slot or in a particular frequency band or both. If Node C and other such interferers comply with this request, Node A may receive information from Node C.

The lower interference level may be sufficient for Node A to receive a signal from Node B with the desired quality.

The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects and are indicative of some of the various ways in which the principles of the aspects can be used. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings, and the disclosed aspects are intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents.

In one specific example use in a heterogeneous network, the terminal may communicate with a serving base station on the forward and / or reverse link. On the forward link, a terminal can observe high interference from an interfering base station. This may be the case, for example, where the serving base station covers the pico cell or femtocell and has much less transmit power than the interfering base station. On the reverse link, the serving base station can observe high interference from interfering terminals. Interference on each link can degrade the performance of data transmissions transmitted on that link. Interference mitigation can also steer an interfering transmission so that it is spaced apart from stations that are receiving high interference.
In one aspect, short term interference mitigation may be used to mitigate (eg, avoid or reduce) interference on a given link to improve the performance of data transmission. Interference mitigation reduces the transmit power of interfering transmissions so that a higher signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SINR) can be achieved for the desired data transmission.
The wireless communication system can include a number of base stations and other network entities. The base station may be a fixed station that communicates with the terminals and may be referred to as an access point, a Node B, an advanced Node B, or the like. Each base station can provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. The term "cell" may refer to the base station's coverage area and / or base station subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. The base station may provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femtocells, and / or other types of cells. The macro cell can cover a relatively large geographic area (eg, several kilometers in radius) and can support communication for all terminals with service subscriptions in the system. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and support communication for all terminals subscribed to a service. A femto cell may cover a relatively narrow geographic area (eg, a home) and support communication for a set of terminals (eg, terminals belonging to residents of a home) that are associated with the femto cell. Terminals supported by a femtocell may belong to a closed subscriber group (CSG). The techniques described herein can be used for all types of cells.
The terminals can be distributed throughout the system, and each terminal can be fixed or mobile. The terminal may also be referred to as an access terminal, mobile station, user equipment, subscriber unit, station, or the like. The terminal may be a cellular phone, a PDA, a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a wireless telephone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, or the like. The terminal may communicate with the serving base station and may receive interference from one or more interfering base stations and / or cause interference with one or more interfering base stations. A serving base station is a base station designated to serve a terminal on a forward and / or reverse link. An interfering base station is a base station that causes interference to the terminal on the forward link. The interfering terminal is a terminal causing interference with the base station on the reverse link.
The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "functioning as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be considered preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The disclosed embodiments can be applied to any one or combination of the following techniques: code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA), wideband CDMA (W-CDMA), fast packet access (HSPA, HSPA +), time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, or other multiple access technologies. The wireless communication system can be designed to implement one or more standards, such as IS-95, cdma2000, IS-856, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, and other standards.
The detailed description set forth below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is intended as a description of various configurations of the invention and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the invention may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, in FIG. 1, the wireless communication system 100 transmits a transmitting node by requesting the interfering node (s) (or Node C when used herein) 106, 108, 110 to reduce its transmit power. (Or Node A when used herein) 102 facilitates successful transmission of time critical data packet communications as shown at 103 to the receiving node (or Node B when used herein) 104. If lower power levels allow both transmitting node 102 and interfering nodes 106, 108, and 110 to continue, over-the-air resources are conserved and time critical communications are successful. To be completed. In an aspect, the node may choose not to transmit when the node's power falls below a certain minimum level.
In an illustrative example, wireless communication system 100 may include different classes of nodes (eg, femtocell, macro cell, relay terminal, pico cell, access terminal, base station, access point, etc.) (ie, different maximum transmit power levels). ) Are heterogeneous in that they are adjacent to each other (ie, can create interference with each other). One node 104, shown as an access point, services a transmitting node 102, shown as an access terminal (AT) or user equipment (UE), and thus resource utilization messaging (RUM) over a wireless data or control channel ( 112 is within short-range wireless communication, as shown at 111. In contrast, the interfering node 108 has insufficient power for the transmitting node 102 to contact wirelessly and should therefore use transmitting the RUM by the backhaul connection 114 over the backhaul network 116. May be a high power node. As a further example, interfering node 110 may include femtocells (eg, user's own femtocells) for both transmitting node 102 and receiving node 104 that are closer than they are adjacent to each other. Can be. However, the transmitting node 102 does not have an authorization to communicate wirelessly with the interfering node 110 in that it lacks appropriate security authentication keys. As a result, the transmitting node 102 may advantageously make the RUM request by broadcast 118, which includes an analog signal corresponding to the desired interference power in an example implementation that simplifies the interpretation of the RUM request. can do. In an exemplary aspect, this information may include a squared factor "R", R 2 / I DESIRED divided by the desired interference power, where "R" is a constant to properly compensate for different classes of interfering nodes. Can be optionally changed. In addition, there is sufficient data regarding path loss, etc., so that the desired interference power can further solve calibration errors due to mismatch in this path loss as well as uplink and downlink path losses.
In another aspect, each individual interfering node 106, 108, 110 may each have a different nominal interference power I W NOMINAL , I B NOMINAL , I A NOMINAL . This nominal power level need not be the same or constant, but instead refers to the power level that each node will use, except following the reduction request in accordance with the present disclosure. This difference may relate to transmit power at each node 106, 108, 110, predicted or detected received power at receive node 104, or received power at transmit node 102. The transmitting node 102 may request the desired interference power I W DESIRED , I B DESIRED , I A DESIRED , respectively, which is a constant value chosen to satisfy the tolerant or worst case. The requested level is the estimated or a priori determined path loss between the transmitting node 102 and the interfering nodes 106, 108, 110, or the path loss between the receiving node 104 and the interfering nodes 106, 108, 110. Can reflect.
Transmit node 102 advantageously includes quantization component 120 for reduced bandwidth requirements to convey the desired interference level, 'R' value, and determined path loss 'G' value. The desired interference level component 122 per frequency channel advantageously determines which channels are associated with the interferer or the desired transmission in making the appropriate request. Adaptive desired interference component 124 may be located between transmitting and interfering nodes 102, 106, 108, 110, between interfering and receiving nodes 106, 108, 110, 104, or transmitting and receiving nodes 102, Consideration factors such as relative path loss between 104 may advantageously change the requested interference level. Adaptive desired interference component 124 may advantageously utilize combined measurements by multiple nodes in gauging path loss. The channel calibration component 126 advantageously provides for subjective path losses in the forward and reverse directions between the transmitting node 102 and the interfering nodes 106, 108, 110 due to electronic component losses in the receive and transmit chains. Can correct the mismatch.
In some examples, it should be further understood that transmitting node (Node A) 102 detects interference without identifying the source of interference. Node A 102 may send a general request for reduction in power level without specific knowledge of reception and compliance by interfering nodes. Alternatively or additionally, node A 102 may anticipate and inform the desired maximum interference power before actually experiencing an interfering transmission. Alternatively or additionally, an eavesdropping node 140 that has not yet made an interfering transmission may overhear the request of Node A 102.
It should further be appreciated that node A 102 may experience interference power resulting from multiple interfering nodes. Node A 102 may make targeted or general broadcast request (s) such that the combined interference power is below or below the desired level. Indeed, service node A (not shown) may indicate its total target interference level (explicitly or implicitly through rate assignment) or a target interference level per node to nodes such as user equipment (UE). Finally, the UE may transmit resource utilization messages (RUMs) with appropriately set transmit power control (P TX control ) to achieve the target interference level in a certain probabilistic sense. Nodes receiving this RUM may accept it according to the rules provided. In one example of a comprehensively broadcast request, the service node may attempt to control the macro, overall level of interference via the RUM without recognizing or minding the interference caused by any particular interferer in the UE. have.
In another aspect, Node A 102 may or may not be able to measure the interference, and selects to broadcast in anticipation of its desired level of interference. Alternatively, or in addition, Node A 102 may be based on retransmission requests from Node B 104 or based on the data error rate experienced by Node A 102 for the signals it is receiving. Thus, it may have an indirect indication of interference. Alternatively or additionally, interference may be intermittent so that Node A 102 is not currently measuring the interference signal but is urged to reduce the likelihood that interference that would prevent successful transmission will occur at a threshold time.
Due to the foregoing and further described below, the transmitting node 102 provides other advantages as well as one or more of the following advantages: (1) Indicating the quantized value of a constant path loss "G". To do; (2) setting the RUMs to different values of the desired interference level for different portions of the bandwidth (eg channels), which advantageously allows the value of the transmit power request (P TX - CONTROL ) to signal the interfering node. Implicitly indicates "G" when depending on the time-frequency resources used for the application; And (3) for example, calibration of the serving cell, calibration to the average of neighboring cells that can fine tune the operation. Thereby, while distributing network optimization and fairness in a "soft" interference response (ie, not just an on-off response), the presentation of the desired interference information can be cooperatively agreed to reduce power when appropriate. It may be known to the nodes. In some implementations, providing an analog mechanism to indicate I DESIRED while using channel reversibility can expand the range of interfering devices that can cooperate in reducing the effects on interference.
2 is an illustration of a wireless multiple-access communication system 200 in accordance with various aspects. In one example, the wireless multiple-access communication system 200 includes a number of base stations 210 and a number of terminals 220. In addition, one or more base stations 210 may communicate with one or more terminals 220. Each of the base stations 210 and terminals 220 adjacent to each other may be one of an interfering node as shown at 223, a transmitting node 224 and a receiving node 225 as described above. In a non-limiting example manner, base station 210 may be an access point, a Node B, and / or other suitable network entity. Each base station 210 provides communication coverage for a particular geographic area 202a-c. As used herein and generally in the art, the term "cell" refers to base station 210 and / or its coverage area 202a-c, depending on the context in which the term is used.
In order to improve system capacity, the coverage area 202a, 202b, or 202c corresponding to the base station 210 may be divided into a number of smaller areas (eg, areas 204a, 204b, and 204c). Each of the smaller regions 204a, 204b, and 204c may be serviced by a respective base station transceiver subsystem (BTS, not shown). As used herein and generally in the art, the term "sector" may refer to a BTS and / or its coverage area depending on the context in which the term is used. In one example, sectors 204a, 204b, 204c in cells 202a, 202b, 202c may be formed by a group of antennas (not shown) in base station 210, where each group of antennas is a cell A part of 202a, 202b, or 202c is responsible for communicating with the terminals 220. For example, the base station 210 serving the cell 202a may include a first antenna group corresponding to the sector 204a, a second antenna group corresponding to the sector 204b, and a third antenna corresponding to the sector 204c. You can have a group. However, it should be understood that the various aspects disclosed herein may be used in a system having sectorized and / or unsectored cells. In addition, it should be understood that all suitable wireless communication networks having any number of sectorized and / or unsectored cells are intended to fall within the scope of the claims appended hereto. For simplicity, as used herein, the term "base station" may refer to a station serving a sector as well as a station serving a cell. As used herein, it should be understood that the downlink sector in the disjoint link scenario is a neighboring sector. The following description generally relates to a system in which each terminal communicates with one service access point for simplicity, but it should be understood that the terminals may communicate with multiple service access points.
According to one aspect, the terminals 220 may be distributed throughout the system 200. Each terminal 220 may be fixed or mobile. By way of non-limiting example, terminal 220 may be an access terminal (AT), mobile station, user equipment, subscriber station, and / or other suitable network entity. Terminal 220 may be a wireless device, cellular phone, PDA, wireless modem, handheld device, or other suitable device. Further, terminal 220 may not communicate with any number of base stations 210 or with any base station 210 at any given moment.
In another example, system 200 may utilize a centralized architecture by using system controller 230 that may be coupled to one or more base stations 210 and may provide coordination and control for the base stations 210. have. According to alternative aspects, system controller 230 may be one network entity or a collection of network entities. Additionally, system 200 may use a distributed architecture to allow base stations 210 to communicate with each other when needed. Backhaul network communication 235 may facilitate point-to-point communication between base stations using this distributed architecture. In one example, system controller 230 may further include one or more connections to multiple networks. Such networks may provide information to and / or from terminals 220 in communication with the Internet, other packet-based networks, and / or one or more base stations 210 in system 200. Circuit-switched voice networks. In another example, system controller 230 may include or be coupled to a scheduler (not shown) that schedules transmissions to and / or from terminals 220. Alternatively, the scheduler can be in each individual cell 202, each sector 204, or a combination thereof.
In one example, system 200 may use one or more multiple-access schemes, such as CDMA, TDMA, FDMA, OFDMA, single-carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA, and / or other suitable multiple-access schemes.) TDMA Uses time division multiplexing (TDM), and transmissions for different terminals 220 are orthogonalized by transmitting at different time intervals, FDMA uses frequency division multiplexing (FDM), and Transmissions are orthogonalized by transmitting on different frequency subcarriers In one example, TDMA and FDMA systems may use code division multiplexing (CDM), where transmissions for multiple terminals are at the same time interval or frequency. Even if transmitted on subcarriers, it can be orthogonalized using different orthogonal codes (eg Walsh codes) OFDMA uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and SC-FDMA is single-carrier Use Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) OFDM and SC-FDM can divide the system bandwidth into multiple orthogonal subcarriers (eg, tones, bins), each of which can be modulated with data. In addition, modulation symbols are transmitted in the frequency domain using OFDM and in the time domain using SC-FDM In addition and / or alternatively, the system bandwidth can be divided into one or more frequency carriers, Each may include one or more subcarriers The system 200 may also use a combination of multiple-access schemes, such as OFDMA and CDMA, although the power control techniques provided herein are generally described for an OFDMA system. It should be understood that the techniques described may be similarly applied to any wireless communication system.
In another example, base stations 210 and terminals 220 in system 200 may communicate data using one or more data channels and signal using one or more control channels. The data channels used by the system 200 may be assigned to the active terminals 220 such that each data channel is used by only one terminal at any given time. Alternatively, data channels may be assigned to multiple terminals 220, and the multiple terminals may be scheduled overlapping or orthogonally on one data channel. In order to conserve system resources, control channels used by system 200 may be shared among multiple terminals 220, for example using code division multiplexing. In one example, data channels orthogonally multiplexed only in frequency and time may be less sensitive to loss of orthogonality due to channel conditions and receiver faults than corresponding control channels.
In FIG. 3, wireless network 300 is shown with several wireless nodes and access terminals 304 collectively designated as wireless nodes 302. The wireless node can receive, transmit, or both. In the following discussion, the term "receiving node" may be used to refer to a receiving wireless node, and the term "transmitting node" may be used to refer to a transmitting wireless node. These designations do not imply that the wireless node cannot perform both transmitting and receiving functions.
The wireless node may function as an access point (AP) or sector, relay point, access terminal, or any combination thereof. In the example of the wireless network 300 shown in FIG. 3, a cluster of wireless nodes 302 function together to provide backhaul services to multiple access terminals 304. The cluster includes a wireless node 302a that serves as an access point by providing a backhaul connection to a network 330 (eg, a WWAM, WLAN, ISP, Internet, such as a cellular network). This wireless node 302a may, however, function as a relay point for other access points not shown in FIG. 3, or may provide relay functionality in response to dynamic reconfiguration of the wireless network 300. The cluster also includes two wireless nodes 302b 1 and 302b 2 that serve as relay points to connect the access terminals 304 to the access point 302a. Although not shown, these wireless nodes 302b 1 and 302b 2 may also provide connectivity to other access points and relay points. The same wireless nodes 302b 1 and 302b 2 may serve as access points for other clusters of wireless nodes in the network 300.
Four access terminals 304 are shown in FIG. 3. In this example, two access terminals 304 1 and 304 2 are connected to access point 302a through relay point 302b 1 , and one access point 304 3 connects to relay point 302b 2 . Is connected to the access point 302a, and the remaining access point 304 4 is directly connected to the access point 302a. Access terminal 304 may be any mobile user device capable of supporting wireless communications with wireless node 302, which is illustratively a mobile or cellular phone, a PDA, a laptop computer, a digital audio device (eg, an MP player). ), Game consoles, digital cameras, or other voice, data, audio, video, messaging, or multimedia devices. In some applications, access terminal 304 may also function as an access point and / or a relay point for other wireless nodes in network 300.
The air interface specification used or adopted to support the wireless network 300 may be based on any suitable multiple access technology that enables mobile subscribers to share available radio resources. Examples of such multiple access techniques include time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), CDMA, wideband CDMA (W-CDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or some combination thereof.
4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the function of the wireless node 400. The following description is inherently informative and broadly defines the function of each block. Only appropriate functionality for the various concepts described throughout this disclosure will be described. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these functional blocks may provide other functionality not described herein. In this example, wireless node 400 includes two functional blocks: wireless network adapter 402 and media access controller 404.
The wireless node may be an access point or sector. In a wireless node that functions as an access point, the network adapter 402 maintains a wireless downlink connection with the first node to enable the media access controller 404 to communicate with the second node. The first node may be a relay point and the second node may be an access terminal, but other downlink structures may be supported. The network adapter 402 at the access point may also maintain a wired backhaul connection 405 for the network.
The wireless node may be an access terminal. In a wireless node functioning as an access terminal, the network adapter 402 maintains a wireless uplink connection with the first node to enable the media access controller 404 to communicate with the second node. User interface 403 is used to control the content communicated with the second node. The first node may be a relay point and the second node may be an access terminal, but other uplink structures may be supported.
The functionality of the wireless node described above in connection with the access point and access terminal may be implemented within the relay point. In this structure, the network adapter 402 may be used to maintain either an uplink or downlink connection with the first node to enable the media access controller 404 to communicate with the second node. By way of example, the network adapter 402 may maintain an uplink connection with another relay point to allow the media access controller 404 to communicate with the access point. Alternatively, or in addition, the network adapter 402 may maintain a downlink connection with another relay point to allow the media access controller 404 to communicate with the access terminal. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other uplink and downlink structures may be supported by the network adapter 402.
Network adapter 402 provides both receiver and transmitter functions. Receiver functionality includes demodulating a wireless signal and retrieving the content carried by the signal. The transmission function includes modulating the carrier with the content. The wireless network adapter 402 provides various functions such as RF front-end processing, ADC, timing and frequency estimation, channel estimation, turbo coding, and the like. In summary, the wireless network adapter 402 provides a complete physical layer implementation of the wireless node 102.
A medium access controller (MAC) 404 is used to control access to the wireless medium. It uses a scheduling algorithm to accommodate the current functionality of the wireless node (eg, access point, relay point, access terminal). The media access controller 404 is responsible for scheduling communications between other wireless nodes using the request / permit scheme discussed previously.
The media access controller 404 may be configured to support a wireless downstream connection maintained by the network adapter 402. In this structure, the media access controller 404 receives a transmission request from a first node that includes a specified allocation of radio resources. The designated radio resources received in the transmission request from the first node include frequency allocations, code spreading assignments, and other types of radio resources. The designated radio resources may be from an allocation of radio resources previously transmitted by the media access controller 404 to the first node. In response to this request, media access controller 404 designates at least some of the specified radio resources. Alternatively, or in addition, the media access controller 404 can designate additional radio resources not designated by the first node. The nomination can be based on various parameters, including, for example, quality of service requirements and / or loading. The named radio resources are communicated with the first node in a grant message.
The media access controller 404 may be configured to support a wireless upstream connection maintained by the network adapter 402. In this structure, the media access controller 404 sends a request to the first node to communicate using the specified allocation of radio resources. The designated radio resources received in the transmission request from the first node include frequency allocations, code spreading assignments, and other types of radio resources. In response to this request, the media access controller 404 receives a permission from the first node to communicate using at least a portion of the specified allocation of radio resources.
In one aspect shown in FIG. 5, the method 500 indicates the desired interference level as information included in the message sent to the interferer node (s). When an interfering node is detected (block 502), a determination is made as to what is its nominal interference power (step 504). When there is an urgent need to transmit time critical data to a receiving node that is being interfered by the interfering node, in one aspect, the transmitting node may choose one of a number of communication methods that can reach the interfering node. It may be determined (block 506). Alternatively, a common approach can be used to reach interfering nodes (block 508). The selected communication method forwards the message to the interfering node to reduce rather than curtail its power level to avoid excessive interference (block 510). This message may be transmitted over the air (OTA) using a data channel or a special control channel (block 512). Alternatively, or in addition, the message may be sent to the interferer node (s) via this connection, if a backhaul connection is available (block 514). As a further alternative, the message may be an analog broadcast made with an interfering node that is not in wireless or network communication with the transmitting node (block 516). Based on the analytical or a priori resources available to the transmitting node, a value transmitted by the transmitting message to the interfering node may be formed relative to the transmitting node, interfering node, or receiving node (518). The message may include, for example, a transmit power recommendation that the interfering node may use. Alternatively, the message may include the desired interference level (522). In one aspect, the interferer may then determine 524 the appropriate transmit power based on the estimate of the desired interference and path loss for the requesting node. The information on desired interference or desired transmit power in the messages may be quantized as appropriate to save bits, as indicated at 526. At block 528, the interfering node's request for reduced transmit power may specify a portion of the frequency bandwidth applicable for power reduction. At block 530, the interfering node's request for reduced transmit power may specify a time window or duration applicable for power reduction.
In another aspect shown in FIG. 6, a method 600 is provided for reducing interference by indicating desired transmit power by analog encoding. If node A finds excessive interference from node C (and possibly other nodes) that exceeds desired interference level I DESIRED (block 602), node A finds an interference level of, for example, I DESIRED instead. Decide what to do In this aspect, I DESIRED is provided to the units (block 604). This desired interference level I DESIRED may be an open-loop value (block 606). Alternatively, the interference level of this I DESIRED can be based on assumptions about path losses between node A and node B, between node C and node A, and between node C and node B (eg, interval, channel quality reports, targets). Data rate, etc.) or data. Node A thereby determines that the interference level of I DESIRED can be overcome by node A's transmitted power (block 608). Alternatively, this I DESIRED threshold may be determined a priori for levels at which Node B (the receiving node) may receive transmissions from Node A at an acceptable block error rate (BER) (block 610). As a further alternative, this information may also be included in the signaling from the receiving node (block 612).
In an exemplary aspect, node A (the transmitting node) transmits a control message to node C with transmit power P TX - CONTROL = R 2 / I DESIRED (block 614). Thus, node A hopes to discover the interference of I DESIRED (in power units, eg milliwatts) and R is a number (also in power units). At block 616, if G is a path loss between node A and node C, node C (interfering node) receives this control message with power P RX - CONTROL = GR 2 / I DESIRED . R is assumed to be known to the interfering node (block 618). This may be the case, for example, if R is a system-wide constant (block 620). In an aspect, information about R may be included in a control message (block 622). The information may be properly quantized, for example (block 624). This may be useful to distinguish different power classes of transmitters (eg, femtocell and macro) (block 626). In another aspect, information about R may be sent to node C via a backhaul (block 628) or to node C via the different control channel or data channel over the air (block 630). Node C may then choose to transmit with power P TX - INTERFERER = R 2 / P RX-CONTROL = R 2 / (GR 2 / I DESIRED ) = I DESIRED / G (block 632). Alternatively, as illustrated in block 634 and node C if P TX - if the INTERFERER believed insufficient to withstand the transmission to which the receiver to the desired spectral efficiency, the Node C may choose not to transmit. In another alternative aspect, node C may also choose to ignore the message regardless of whether there is an impact in its transmission (block 636). If you choose to respond, the transmission from node C is received at node A with GP TX - INTERFERER = I DESIRED (block 638). In one aspect, channel reversibility is assumed, i.e., the channel gain on the control link and the data link is equal to G (block 640). Thus, it should be understood that the method 600 ensures that Node A receives its desired interference from Node C.
In FIG. 7, in one aspect, a method 700 for encoding a reduced power level (eg, I DESIRED ) to an interfering node with additional information is provided. The control message mentioned above may be a unicast signal (block 702) or, alternatively, may be a broadcast signal (block 704). In the latter case, several nodes in the network may determine their transmit powers based on the value of R that may be digitally encoded in the message and the level at which they receive control messages (block 706). In some aspects, there may be no need to explicitly identify the sender of the message (block 708). In other aspects, a hash of the sender's unique identifier may be included in the message to assist the recipients (partially) in identifying the sender and determining their response (block 710). Control messages may include other information such as sender priority, fairness metrics, and the like (block 712). The control message can be transmitted on the uplink (block 714) or on the downlink (block 716) (for downlink interference avoidance).
In the system described above, it is assumed that the path loss on both links is the same. This may not always be the case due to calibration errors, different fades on the links, and the like. Thus, in one aspect, the required control message I DESIRED may result in interference I DESIRED of D, where D is a value that depends on channel mismatch, calibration errors, and the like. A "calibration mechanism" can be introduced to determine D and correct it at the control message transmission power or in the interferer response. For this purpose, in FIG. 8, the method 800 solves open-loop estimation errors in resource utilization message (RUM) performance. Although similar applications may apply to the reverse link RUM, consider forward link RUM (F-RUM) (block 802). In an ideal scenario, an access point (AP) transmitting a RUM at Pc 2 / I DESIRED receives an interference I DESIRED from an access terminal (AT) responsive to the RUM. The AP receives interference of D * I DESIRED , where the bidirectional calibration error D = (C AP - RX / C AP - TX ) * (C AT - TX / C AT - RX ) (block 804). AP C - RX is the gain of the image to be applied to the RX chain of the AP, AP C - TX is the gain of the image applied to the TX chain of the AP, and so forth (block 806). Advantageously, the AT can calibrate its power to the service AP to determine D. In particular, in some examples or implementations, the AT can determine an average of D from different APs (block 810). Using the determined bidirectional calibration error D, the AT applies a calibration correction constant D - 1 to correct for it (block 812). For the reverse link RUM (R-RUM), the AT may apply D −1 to the RUM power (block 814).
With regard to further aspects of calibration errors, consider the case where the RUM sender is not known (block 816) and therefore cannot apply a special correction factor to that AP (block 818). The mismatch of this situation may be described as (C AP - RX / C AP - TX ) RUM - SENDING - AP ) / (C AP - RX / C AP - TX ) SERVING - AP (block 820). This calibration mismatch can be reduced by averaging the calibration across multiple APs (block 824).
In FIG. 9, node 900a determines that it cannot successfully transmit to another node 900b and thus requests reduced transmit power with less interference without loss of communication capacity for wireless communication network 901. May signal to the additional node 900c. Node 900a also reduces its transmit power in response to requests from nodes 900b and 900c so that they can successfully complete the transmissions. For this purpose, node 900a has a computing platform 902 that provides means such as sets of codes for causing a computer to perform interference mitigation. In particular, the computing platform 902 includes a computer readable storage medium (eg, memory) 904 that stores a number of modules 906-914 executed by the processors 920. Modulator 922 controlled by processor 920 prepares a downlink signal emitted by antenna (s) 926 for modulation by transmitter 924. Receiver 928 receives uplink signals from antenna (s) 926, which are demodulated by demodulator 930 and provided to processor 920 for decoding. The transmit power component 932 can adjust the transmit power for purposes such as interference mitigation. Received signal indicator (RSI) 934 measures the received signal strength to gauge interference power and path loss. In particular, means (906) for detecting interference from an interfering node (e.g., module, set of codes) 906 is provided. Means (module, set of codes) 908 are provided for signaling a request received by an interfering node to transmit at a power level to achieve a desired level of interference. Means (module, set of codes) 910 are provided for wirelessly transmitting data packet communication to a receiving node. Means (module, set of codes) 912 are provided for receiving a request to reduce transmission power interference with transmissions of other nodes. Means (module, set of codes) 914 are provided for reducing transmit power in accordance with the requested power level.

It is to be understood that system 1000 is represented as including functional blocks, which can be functional blocks that represent functions implemented by a computing platform, processor, software, or a combination thereof (eg, firmware). System 1000 includes a logical grouping 1002 of electrical components that can function in combination.

In addition, logical grouping 1002 may include an electrical component 1008 for wirelessly transmitting data packet communications to a receiving node. Logical grouping 1002 may include an electrical component 1010 for receiving a request to reduce transmission power interference with transmissions of other nodes. Logical grouping 1002 may include an electrical component 1012 for receiving a request to reduce transmission power interference with transmissions of other nodes. The system 1002 can also include a memory 1014 that retains instructions for executing functions associated with electrical components 1004-1012. While shown as being external to memory 1014, it is to be understood that one or more of electrical components 1004-1012 may exist within memory 1014.
