Method to control the effects of out-of-cell interference in a wireless cellular system using backhaul transmission of decoded data and formats
First Claim
1. A method at a base station, the base station being within an active set of base stations with which a mobile terminal in handoff is sending data in a signal, the method comprising:
- sending successfully decoded data received in a signal from the mobile terminal and the transmission format of the received signal to the other base stations in the active set over a backhaul network.

Abstract
Successfully decoded data received from a mobile terminal as well as the transmission format of that data is relayed over the backhaul from a base station receiver that successfully decoded the mobile terminal'"'"'s transmission to the base stations in the mobile terminal'"'"'s active set that presumably were unable to decode the mobile terminal'"'"'s transmission due to inadequate signal-to-noise ratio. A base station that receives this transmission from the relaying base station that did'"'"'successfully decode and demodulate the mobile terminal'"'"'s transmission is then able to reconstruct the data and subtract it from the total interference, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio at this base station for its in-cell processing.

receiving over a backhaul network from another base station data that was successfully decoded by the other base station from a signal received from the mobile terminal, and a transmission format of the signal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
