  • Patent number: 10383020
    Abstract: A method for interference reduction in a radio communication system is disclosed. The method includes receiving from a mobile station indications of radiation beams that are transmitted by a first base station of the radio communication system and that fulfill or exceed a predefined quality criterion at the mobile station, when the mobile station is attached to the first base station and when the mobile station is located within a first overlapping coverage area of the first base station and of a second base station of the radio communication system, and determining at least one radio resource to be unused or to be transmitted with a limited transmission power by the first base station for at least one of the radiation beams based on the received indications for serving the mobile station or a further mobile station by the second base station with the at least one radio resource.

  • Patent number: 9756510
    Abstract: The invention proposes method of providing measurement reports. The eNodeB sends (S10, S11) a user equipment information about a plurality of subframe patterns used by a plurality of wireless networks respectively, and notifies (S12, S13) the user equipment associations between the measurement reports and said plurality of subframe patterns. The user equipment measures (S14) channel information in at least one subframe patterns, generates measurement reports for said at least one subframe patterns according to said association, and sends (S15, S16) said measurement reports to said eNodeB. The eNodeB relates (S17) each of the received measurement reports with the corresponding subframe pattern according to said association.
