NETWORK SIGNALING FOR NETWORK-ASSISTED INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION AND SUPPRESSION

摘要

In described examples, a cellular communication network (100) can determine whether communications between one base station-UE pair (101, 102) may interfere with another UE (105) that is in the same cell (103) or a different cell (106). The network (100) identifies interference parameters associated with interference signals (110) that may be received by a UE (105). The interference signals (110) may be generated by the base station (101) itself, such as communications with other UEs (102), or by a neighboring base station. The base station (101) transmits the interference parameters to the UE (105). The UE (105) receives the one or more parameters including information about signals expected to cause intra-cell or inter-cell interference. The UE (105) then processes received signals using the one or more parameters to suppress the intra-cell or inter-cell interference (110).
