RESOURCE CONTROL IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
19. A device, comprisinga processor;
- anda memory comprising processor executable code, the processor executable code, when executed by the processor, configures the device to;
estimate interference values at a node in a wireless communication network in the presence of one or more interfering entities that are not controlled by the node in the wireless communication network; and
produce one or more signals indicative of a modified throughput associated with transmissions of one or more user equipments controlled by the node in the wireless communication network in accordance with the interference values.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and computer program products facilitate resource allocation to entities within a wireless communication network. Interference values are determined in the presence of entities that may or may not be controlled by the wireless communication network. Based on the determined interference values and associated statistics, throughputs associated with the user equipment within the wireless communication network are modified. These modifications enable an increase or decrease in the throughput of the user equipment, which optimizes the aggregate throughput of the wireless communication network while maintaining the interference levels within target levels.
