EMPLOYING NEIGHBORING CELL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION FOR INTERFERENCE MITIGATION

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for employing a neighboring cell's assistance information for interference mitigation (e.g., by conveying the information to a user equipment). A base station (BS) may determine assistance information for a neighboring cell and convey it to a user equipment (UE). A UE may receive assistance information for a neighboring cell and use that information for performing interference cancellation or suppression on received signals. The UE may receive the assistance information from a serving cell or a non-serving cell. The assistance information may be valid for a particular transmission instance, for a known period of time, or until updated by a BS.
