Patent number: 9369915Abstract: An inter-system interference estimation method is disclosed for both primary and secondary radio systems. In the case of a primary system (such as a GSM system), inter-system interference estimation is based on a comparison of cell level measurement statistics before and after secondary spectrum usage in neighboring cells. In the case of a secondary system (such as an LTE system), inter-system interference estimation is based on a measurement on secondary spectrum before starting transmission on the secondary spectrum. Based on both of the above mentioned inter-system inter-cell interference estimations, a cell-level decision on the secondary spectrum usage is made, and optimization of radio resource allocation inside the systems may be carried out.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Kari Juhani Hooli, Jari Yrjana Hulkkonen, Rauli Jarkko Kullervo Jarvela, Pasi Eino Tapio Kinnunen

Patent number: 9148789Abstract: It is provided a solution for controlling interference in a cellular telecommunication system. An interference controller of the cellular telecommunication utilizes interference level information received from another cellular telecommunication system in controlling interference towards a target cell suffering from high interference which degrades the grade of service in the target cell. The interference level information comprises information on levels of interference between neighboring cells of the other cellular telecommunication system. The interference controller analyzes the received interference level information and controls communication links in cells of the cellular telecommunication system determined to cause the highest interference towards the target cell. The cells determined to cause the highest interference towards the target cell are determined from the received interference level information.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2008Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Jari Yrjänä Hulkkonen, Esa Tapani Tiirola, Mikko Säily, Kari Pekka Pajukoski
