NETWORK ASSISTED INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION AND SUPPRESSION WITH RESPECT TO INTERFERING CONTROL CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for mitigating interference in wireless networks. Various embodiments may include signaling of control channel information associated with an interfering cell and utilization of the control channel information to mitigate interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
communications circuitry to receive, from an access node, power boosting information related to control channels of serving and/or interfering cells; and receiver circuitry coupled with the communications circuitry, the receiver circuitry to:
determine an extended quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) constellation based on the power boosting information; andjointly decode serving and interfering control channels based on the extended QPSK constellation.
