INFORMATION EXCHANGE MECHANISMS TO ACHIEVE NETWORK QoS IN WIRELESS CELLULAR SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor, configured to obtain a current resource allocation for one or more cells controlled by a first base station, ascertain whether the current resource allocation satisfies a quality of service target associated with a data flow traversing through at least one of the one or more cells controlled by the first base station, and dispatch an inter cell interference coordination indicator to a second base station; and
a memory coupled to the processor for persisting data.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate quality of service (QoS) differentiation and/or prioritization across a plurality of base stations included in wireless communication systems. The system can include components and/or devices that obtain resource allocations for cells controlled by a local base station, ascertains whether or not the resource allocations satisfy quality of service targets associated with data flows traversing through cells controlled by the local base station, and dispatches inter cell interference coordination indicators to remote base stations that have a proximate relationship defined by an X2 channel between the local base station and the remote base stations.
