Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for managing inter-system interference performed by a network element () in a victim cellular communication system () comprising a serving cell () serving a victim radio device (A). The method comprises determining that the downlink (DL) reception quality of signals from the serving cell at the victim radio device is below a predetermined first threshold, implying poor DL radio signal quality. The method also comprises determining that the DL signal strength of signals from the serving cell at the victim radio device is above a predetermined second threshold, implying that the poor DL radio signal quality is due to either intra-system interference from DL signaling within said victim system, or to inter-system interference from UL signaling in an aggressor system. If the victim cellular communication system comprises at least one neighboring cell (), then the method also comprises determining that the DL signal strength of signals from said at least one neighboring cell is below a predetermined third threshold at the victim radio device. The method then comprises determining that the poor DL radio signal quality is due to radio interference from uplink (UL) signaling in an aggressor cell () comprised in an aggressor cellular communication system (). The method also comprises applying interference resolution for mitigating the inter-system interference from the aggressor cell ().
