DL ABS status

M

INTEGER (0..100)

Percentage of used ABS resources. The numerator of the percentage calculation consists of resource blocks within the ABS indicated in the Usable ABS Pattern Info IE allocated by the eNB₂ for DL traffic needing protection by ABS from inter-cell interference for DL scheduling, or allocated by the eNB₂ for other reasons (e.g. some control channels). The denominator of the percentage calculation is the total quantity of resource blocks within the ABS indicated in the Usable ABS Pattern Info IE.

BIT STRING (SIZE(40))

Each position in the bitmap represents a subframe, for which value "1" indicates ‘ABS that has been designated as protected from inter-cell interference by the eNB₁, and available to serve this purpose for DL scheduling in the eNB₂’ and value "0" is used for all other subframes.

The pattern represented by the bitmap is a subset of, or the same as, the corresponding ABS Pattern Info IE conveyed in the LOAD INFORMATION message from the eNB₁.
