Abstract: A method for mitigating interference at a small base station in a hierarchical cell structure is provided. In the method, the small base station checks a sub-frame allocated to macro user equipment by using a downlink signal received from a macro base station when an interference candidate user equipment list is received. The interference candidate user equipment list contains information on the macro user equipment adjacent to a femto cell controlled by the small base station. Then the small base station allocates other sub-frame to femto user equipment located in the femto cell by avoiding the sub-frame allocated to the macro user equipment.

Abstract: A passenger terminal AI system automatically connects with messaging apps on passenger smartphones over a wireless network when passengers enter the terminal. This creates a communication link between the server and each smartphone. When the passenger enters the terminal, the AI system identifies the passenger by facial recognition software or by tracked passenger transactions at the terminal, providing passenger identity. Passenger browser history information and travel information is retrieved from the smartphone. Passenger location is identified and tracked. The server provides the passenger's smart phone, via the messaging app, with 100 personalized messages related to possible purchase by the passenger of travel and other services, located in the terminal and elsewhere, based in part on the retrieved information. The server provides the passenger with terminal schedule and gate information, and also operates with service providers to meet the passenger's desired services.

Channel state information may be exchanged between the node and the peer node for precoding matrix selection and for antenna selection. The antennas used for communication between the nodes and the peer nodes may be beamforming antennas.
