Abstract

A method and apparatus are described that facilitate reducing intra-cell interference and meanwhile randomizing inter-cell interference without cell planning. Segment time-frequency patterns can be obtained to form multiple different segment time-frequency pattern sets where the segment time-frequency patterns in one time-frequency pattern set are orthogonal to each other. Randomly select at least one segment time-frequency pattern set in each TTI. Within each TTI, at least one user and/or traffic channel in one cell may be randomly assigned to at least one segment time-frequency pattern of the segment time-frequency pattern set.
