Abstract
This application pertains to systems, apparatus and methods for decreasing interference in wireless networks caused by User Equipments (UEs) entering compressed mode. Under certain generally accepted communication protocols, a UE can transmit at a higher power relative to normal transmissions when it enters compressed mode. These high power transmissions can cause interference both for UEs within the same cell (e.g., small cells or macrocells) as well as for UEs in neighboring cells. This interference can be minimized by using the presently disclosed systems, apparatus and methods to schedule time slots for UEs to go into compressed mode such that the distance in time between any two UEs going into compressed mode across one or more neighboring cells is maximized. By spreading out the interference effect of UEs going into compressed mode over time, overall interference in the wireless network can be decreased.
