System and Method to Enable Resource Partitioning in Wireless Networks
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting an access request to a desired serving base station;
transmitting resource utilization messages (RUMs) to one or more interfering base stations; and
retransmitting the access request and the RUMs based on a time reuse pattern when the UE has not received a response to the access request and the RUMs.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate improved resource partitioning and interference management in a wireless communication system. Techniques are described herein for the transmission and use of various types of signaling, such as Access Request commands, Reverse Link Special Resource Utilization Message (R-SRUM) signaling, Forward Link Special Resource Utilization Message (F-SRUM) signaling, and the like, for managing interference associated with range extension, restricted association networks, and other jamming scenarios. As described herein, downlink resource coordination and interference management are accomplished through the use of Access Request or R-SRUM signaling conducted in a unicast or broadcast fashion, and uplink resource coordination and interference management are accomplished through the use of F-SRUM signaling. As further described herein, a clean communication channel such as a Low Reuse Preamble (LRP) channel can be utilized for interference management signaling and/or leveraged for determining timing of various signaling messages.
