DYNAMIC CELL CLUSTERING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for dynamic cell clustering, the method comprising:
- in response to a message from a small cell in a cluster, splitting, by an initial central coordinator, the cluster into two or more clusters, wherein the initial cluster includes a plurality of cells, including the small cell, with each cell assigned a same Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration.

Abstract
In some implementations, a method for dynamic cell clustering includes splitting, by an initial central coordinator, the cluster into two or more clusters in response to a message from a small cell in a cluster. The initial cluster includes a plurality of cells, including the small cell, with each cell assigned a same Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration.

16. A method for dynamic clustering, comprising:
-
in response to a message from a small cell in an initial cluster, merging, by a central coordinator, the initial cluster with one or more clusters into a subsequent cluster, wherein the subsequent cluster includes a plurality of cells; determining a same Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration for the plurality of cells; and for each cell in the plurality of cells, signaling the same TDD configuration. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
