Method and system for managing communication in an ofdma system

Abstract

Managing communication in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system using segments in an OFDMA frame is accomplished by setting at least a first segment in the OFDMA frame as a high power segment for a plurality of base station in the OFDMA system. Further, communication is established between at least one base station and at least one communication device in the OFDMA system, in response to setting the at least first segment as a high power segment. Managing the communication further includes assigning a region of the first segment to a set of base stations in the OFDMA system. The assigned region can be used by the set of base stations at high power level to communicate with communication devices located in overlapping areas. A method for coordinating uplink transmission in the OFDMA system for reducing uplink interference is also provided.

1 . A method of managing communication in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system, the method comprising:
 collecting information from a plurality of base stations, wherein the information comprises location of at least one first communication device determined by at least one base station of the plurality of base stations;   allocating at least a first segment belonging to a plurality of segments of an OFDMA frame as a high power segment to at least one base station of the plurality of base stations to communicate with the at least one first communication device in the OFDMA system based on the collected information; and   facilitating at least one region of the first segment for a communication between at least one set of base stations and the at least one first communication device, wherein the at least one set of base stations is of the plurality of base stations.
