Patent attributes
A method and system for mitigating interference in a communication system, comprising at least one base station and at least one terminal, are disclosed. The base stations and terminals communicate through a channel existing between them, and the channels include at least a first signal channel and a second signal channel. The method includes determination of channel, noise and self-interference characteristic, computation of a rate limit of the channels, computation of the rate assignment of the channels, and assignment of the computed rate assignments to the channels. In another aspect of the present invention, the method includes determination of channel characteristics; computation of a power control margin, self-interference characteristics, power control command; and assignment of the computed power control command to each communicating terminal and base station. The above power and rate control methods may operate jointly to mitigate both intra-cell and inter-cell interference in wireless communication systems.
