Abstract
A method for characterizing interference in a radio communication system including a plurality of user equipment communicating with transceiver stations, includes: determining quantities indicative of interference (attenuation or power) experienced by a transceiver station interfered by interfering user equipment; and exchanging between transceiver stations information based on these quantities and concerning interference from the interfering user equipment. In particular, the user equipment is in communication with respective serving transceiver stations, and exchanging includes sending from the serving transceiver stations to the interfered transceiver stations information concerning interference from user equipment served by the serving transceiver stations and interfering with the interfered transceiver stations. The method further includes grouping, by the serving transceiver station, the interfering user equipment according to a given grouping criterion in order to form groups thereof.
