Abstract:
The invention is directed to allowing network base stations to receive information from mobile communication terminals about terminal-detected usage of unlicensed band utilization, e.g., due to uncoordinated short-range wireless communication usage in combination with LTE deployments in unlicensed bands. The present invention introduces additional information into automatic neighbor relation (ANR) reporting. The additional information comprises information associated with the unlicensed band utilization. The additional information enables a base station scheduler (e.g., an LTE base station scheduler) associated with a base station to take radio access technology (RAT) utilization other than cellular utilization (e.g., 2G, 3G, LTE, etc.) into account in order to decrease in-device coexistence issues and increase unlicensed band system capacity.
