Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for coverage matching in heterogeneous wireless communication networks are provided. The base station may adjust its receiver sensitivity to match the uplink and downlink coverage. In some implementations, the base station may transmit parameters reflecting its receiver sensitivity capability to a control entity. The control entity determines the required receiver sensitivity for the base station and transmits the receiver sensitivity adjustment information to the base station. The base station may adjust its receiver sensitivity based on the receiver sensitivity adjustment information. In some implementations, the base station may exchange its receiver sensitivity information with other base stations and adjust its receiver sensitivity based on information received from other base stations. The base station or control entity may also inform the user equipment (UE) about the base station receiver sensitivity such that the UE may adjust their transmission powers based on the base station's receiver sensitivity.
