Power control in LTE-advanced heterogeneous networks

摘要

Embodiments described herein are directed to a power control scheme for Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) heterogeneous networks to reduce the interference from macro base stations (BS) 201-1, 201-2 to pico user equipment (UE) 202-1, ..., 202-5. The embodiments described herein may be used to develop LTE-A heterogeneous networks to balance the achievable throughput between macro and pico UEs and may thereby improve the overall system performance.
