Management of uplink control signaling in wireless adjacent coverage areas

摘要

A method and system for managing uplink control channel communication by adjacent base stations. Adjacent base stations may programmatically work with each other to arrange for their respective use of different sub-carriers for scheduling their respective uplink control channel communications. Further, to help make more efficient use of all available sub-carriers, a given base station may schedule uplink traffic channel communication for one or more user equipment devices on the same sub-carriers that a neighboring base station is using for uplink control channel communication if those one or more user equipment devices do not report detecting the neighboring base station above a threshold level.
