DYNAMIC DISTRIBUTED COORDINATION OF PARAMETERS IN A CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method for dy namic, distributed coordination of parameters between a plurality of base stations ( 1la-1 lg) in a cellular telecommu nication network (10). An inter-cell X2+ communication in terface (36) connecting each given base station with the giv en base station"s neighboring base stations is extended to communicate parameter settings between the given base sta tion and the neighboring base stations. An apparatus in each given base station receives (22) from the given base station"s neighboring base stations, parameter settings being utilized by the neighboring base stations for transmitting and/or re ceiving in associated neighboring cells. The apparatus util izes (22) the parameter settings received from the neighbor ing base stations as factors to determine local parameter set tings for the given base station. The given base station then sends (23) the local parameter settings and supplemental information to the neighboring base stations so that optimal network-wide parameter settings can be selected.
