POWER CONTROL AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT METHOD OF FEMTOCELL BASE STATION IN WIDEBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for a femtocell base station to control power in connection with a macrocell base station in a wideband wireless access system in which macrocells and femtocells coexist comprising:
- transmitting first received signal strength on a signal provided by the macrocell base station and femtocell information including preamble information of the femtocell base station and a femtocell base station identifier to the macrocell base station;
receiving power control information from the macrocell base station, the power control information being generated by comparing the first received signal strength and second received signal strength reported to the macrocell base station by a corresponding macrocell terminal, and the second received signal strength being measured by the macrocell terminal based on a signal provided by the macrocell base station; and
controlling transmitted power based on the power control information,

Abstract
Provided is a power control method and resource management method of a femtocell base station in a wideband wireless access system. A macrocell base station receives received signal strength from a femtocell base station in a macrocell of the macrocell base station, compares it with received signal strength reported by a terminal in the macrocell, and when a difference between the two received signal strength is less than a threshold value, it receives received signal strength on a signal received by the terminals in the macrocell from the corresponding femtocell base station. Further, the macrocell base station determines whether the corresponding macrocell terminal is located in the coverage of the femtocell base station based on the reported received signal strength of the femtocell base station, and transmits information for controlling power of the femtocell base station or managing a radio resource to the femtocell base station according to the determination result.
