ADAPTIVE ASSOCIATION AND JOINT ASSOCIATION AND RESOURCE PARTITIONING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for supporting communication in a wireless network.;SOLUTION: Association and resource partitioning are performed jointly to select serving base stations for user devices (UEs) and to allocate available resources to base stations. In another aspect, adaptive association may be performed to select serving base stations for UEs. A base station computes local metrics for different possible actions related to association and resource partitioning (or only association). The base station receives local metrics for the possible actions from at least one neighbor base station and determines overall metrics for the possible actions on the basis of the computed and received local metrics.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
