Interference management utilizing HARQ interlaces
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communication, comprising:
- determining a quantity of uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) interlaces that may be used by any one of a plurality of access points, where the determined quantity is less than a quantity of uplink HARQ interlaces allocated for all of the access points; and
sending at least one message comprising an indication of the determined quantity to the access points.

Abstract
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of fractional reuse and other techniques. In some aspects fractional reuse may relate to HARQ interlaces, portions of a timeslot, frequency spectrum, and spreading codes. Interference may be managed through the use of a transmit power profile and/or an attenuation profile. Interference also may be managed through the use of power management-related techniques.
