First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented by a base station in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of cells, the method comprising:
- calculating expected levels of inter-cell interference associated with two or more different resources in a cell available for wireless communication of both control messages and user data, wherein the calculating comprises one or both of;
calculating the expected levels of inter-cell interference using a fractional load Inter-cell Interference Coordination (ICICI mechanism; and
calculating the expected levels of inter-cell interference using a frequency reuse ICIC mechanism;
determining that one of the resources in the cell is associated with a level of expected inter-cell interference having a value less than a value of an expected inter-cell interference associated with another of the two or more different resources;
allocating data classified as a control message to the determined resource for communication of that data in said cell; and
transmitting or receiving said data on the determined resource.

Abstract
A system includes a first device (110) to classify data as one of a control message or a non-control message, and provide the classification of the data to a second device (122). The second device (122) receives the classification of the data, receives information associated with a resource (460), calculates an expected interference associated with the resource (460) based on the information associated with the resource (460), and allocates, to the resource (460), data classified as a control message when the expected interference corresponds to a low expected interference.

9. A base station comprising:
-
an Inter-cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) mechanism configured to; collect information associated with two or more different resources in a cell available for wireless communication of both control messages and user data, calculate expected levels of inter-cell interference associated with the different resources, based on the collected information, by using one or both of a fractional load ICIC mechanism and a frequency reuse ICIC mechanism, and determine that one of the resources is associated with a level of expected inter-cell interference having a value less than a value of an expected inter-cell interference associated with another of the two or more different resources; and a scheduler circuit configured to; receive a classification of data describing data as being one of a control message or a non-control message, and allocate data classified as a control message to the determined resource for communication of that data in said cell. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
