UE CATEGORIZATION AND BAND SELECTION STRATEGY FOR FRACTIONAL FREQUENCY REUSE IN FULL-DUPLEX SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus for use in an eNodeB of a cellular network including a plurality of eNodeBs, comprises a memory circuit configured to store a predetermined frequency planning profile of the cellular network. The apparatus further includes a transmit circuit configured to transmit an interference report request and the predetermined frequency planning profile to a user equipment (UE) in a serving cell of the eNodeB and a receive circuit configured to receive an interference profile from the UE in response to the interference report request. In addition, the apparatus includes a processing circuit operably coupled to the receive circuit configured to selectively schedule the UE to perform transmission in the DL centric zone or the UL centric zone or both of each of the prioritized usage frequency bands, based on the interference profile from the UE.
