METHOD AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE PREVENTING INTERFERENCE AS BETWEEN BASE STATIONS SHARING CARRIER RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A method for use in preventing interference as between a first base station and a second base station, wherein an ongoing communication cannot be handed over from the first base station to the second base station and wherein the first and second base station each employ, at least in part, a same set of carrier resources, the method comprising:
- at the first base station;
communicating with the second base station to thereby prevent interference by usage of the second base station with a user of the first base station.

Abstract
A first base station communicates (102) with a second base station (wherein an ongoing communication cannot be handed over from the first base station to the second base station and wherein the first and second base station each employ, at least in part, a same set of carrier resources) to prevent interference by usage of the second base station with a user of the first base station. By one approach, this activity can be based, at least in part, upon receipt (101) of a message from an end user platform indicating that a carrier resource that is presently being used by the end user platform is being interfered with by the second base station. By another approach, this activity can take place prior to any actual such interference.

10. A base station comprising:
-
a plurality of transceivers configured to employ carrier resources in support of wireless communications for wireless end users; a controller operably coupled to the plurality of transceivers and configured to prevent interference as between the base station and a second base station by communicating with the second base station to thereby prevent interference by usage of the second base station with a user of the base station; wherein an ongoing communication cannot be handed over from the first base station to the second base station and wherein the base station and the second base station each employ, at least in part, a same set of carrier resources - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
