Heterogeneous network partitioning scheme

When there are base stations of different power classes you may need to coordinate the transmissions from different BS, to reduce interference to the user equipment (UE) in both the control and data channels. There are different ways of coordination. For some embodiments, the subframe may be horizontal, cross BS performs time division multiplexing (TDM) resource partitioning. Since the resources for the control channel is mapped on time and frequencies may span the entire frequency domain, TDM resource partitioning a control channel to avoid interference. However, since the TDM subframe division, limiting the data rate of the UE. In other words, restrictions may result from control channel interference coordination. For some embodiments, UE can transmit and / or receiver for the UE in subframe differs in the divided.
