Solution Overview

Problem

In ultra-dense wireless communication networks, especially in 5G and beyond, the increasing cell density leads to significant inter-cell interference, which limits network performance and makes existing interference mitigation techniques inadequate.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a method for uplink interference identification and SINR prediction, where channel quality measurement results are used to determine an interference vector for each user equipment (UE). This interference vector is then utilized to predict SINR values for different resource allocation configurations, allowing for the selection of an optimal resource allocation configuration to mitigate interference.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting SINR values for different resource allocation configurations before actual resource allocation occurs. The network device determines interference vectors and predicts SINR for multiple candidate configurations, then selects the optimal configuration in advance, thereby proactively mitigating interference before it degrades performance
