  • the interference problem may become serious due to the introduction of low power nodes, which leads to low geometries especially in the co-channel deployment scenarios.

  • PBCH primary broadcast channel
  • PSS primary synchronization signal

  • HeNB 310 configures the entire sub-frame 405 as almost blank sub-frame instead of muting some OFDM symbols. Therefore, the MUSS 305 can receive interference-free control channels but, as a result, at least two consecutive sub-frames should be configured as almost blank sub-frame in order to protect the control and data channel of the MUSS 305. That is, there exists some restriction in the ABSF configuration. This operation is beneficial in that the impact of PDSCH symbol muting does not need to be considered. The restriction in the ABSF configuration may lead to relative resource loss when compared to the PDSCH symbol muting approach. However, this loss can be alleviated by configuring the ABSF 405 as continuously as possible as illustrated in FIGURE 5.
