Abstract: Mechanisms for efficient transmission of large amount of download data from a base station to a user equipment in a multi-carrier that minimizes power consumption on the user equipment are described. When multiple component carriers are to be used to transmit the download data, the base station informs the user equipment. The base station transmits on the anchor carriers without wait after informing the user equipment and transmits on the non-anchor carriers after waiting a predetermined delay. The predetermined delay provides time to allow the user equipment to activate the receiving resources and be ready to receive the download data over the non-anchor carriers. In this manner, the user equipment can be in a power conservation mode and activate the receiver resources only when needed.

Abstract: An aggressor base station (22-1) herein performs downlink interference coordination with one or more victim base stations (22-2, 22-3) in a radio communication network (10). Such coordination is performed for each of one or more iterations. For any given iteration, the aggressor (22-1) sends a message (28-2) to a victim (22-2) that indicates, for each of one or more downlink resources (26), whether the aggressor (22-1) promises to protect that resource (26) from interference by not transmitting on the resource (26) with a transmit power above a threshold (TH2). The victim (22-2) schedules downlink transmissions to one or more user equipments (16) on resources (26) that, according to the message (28-2), are protected from interference. Based on monitoring for interference to those transmissions, though, the victim (22-2) generates and sends to the aggressor (22-1) feedback (30-2) that generally requests an increase or decrease of the threshold (TH2).
