METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATION WITH COORDINATION OF MODULATION SCHEMES AMONG BASE STATIONS FOR IMPROVED INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to suppress interference, such as interference attributable to increased network density, interference attributable to interference between uplink and downlink transmissions in a TDD system and/or interference attributable to D2D communications. In the context of a method, it is determined whether communication between an access point and a mobile terminal or between a mobile terminal and another mobile terminal is to be subjected to real-valued modulation or complex-valued modulation such that the modulation and a dominant form of interference for the mobile terminal are either both real-valued or both complex-valued. The method also includes providing for communication with the mobile terminal in accordance with the one of real-valued modulation or complex-valued modulation that was determined.
