Softbank Mobile and Ericsson demonstrate New LTE Feature
Softbank Mobile and Ericsson had demonstrated the benefits of a new feature, cooperative transmission control/coordinated scheduling in LTE radio base stations, which improves cell-edge user performance.
The test, conducted using commercially available LTE terminals, clearly demonstrated the strong potential of coordinated radio resource management functionality in LTE networks.
Coordinated scheduling avoids the severe interference that can otherwise be encountered at the cell edge between base stations that operate on the same frequency. By coordinating the base stations' use of radio resources, it is possible to improve cell-edge user throughput by a factor of two or three, while simultaneously improving overall cell throughput. Therefore, Softbank Mobile developed this function as Eco-LTE - Enhanced Cooperative transmission control on LTE.
