A process, device and computer-readable storage medium that incorporate teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a wireless device that is unable to distinguish between a non-reduced power subframe and a reduced-power, subframe of a communications protocol including a frame having a pre-defined arrangement of non-reduced power subframes and reduced-power subframes. First and second instructions are sent to the wireless device to respectively perform a first channel quality assessment of a non-reduced power subframe and a second channel quality assessment of a reduced-power subframe. The first and second instructions respectively identify the non-reduced power subframes and the reduced-power subframes within which the first and second channel quality assessments are to be performed. After receiving the first and second channel quality assessments, it is determined whether the channel quality assessment performed by the wireless device includes instantaneous measurements. Other embodiments are disclosed. |

1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a system comprising a processor, mobile user equipment unable to distinguish between non-reduced power and almost blank subframes of a third-generation partnership project, long term evolution communications protocol frame having a pre-determined arrangement of a plurality of non-reduced power subframes and a plurality of almost blank subframes, wherein the almost blank subframes are characterized by a reduced downlink transmission power; sending, by the system, a first instruction to the mobile user equipment to cause the mobile user equipment to perform a first channel quality assessment of a non-reduced power subframe of the plurality of non-reduced power subframes, wherein the first instruction identifies the non-reduced power subframe within which the first channel quality assessment is to be performed; sending, by the system, a second instruction to the mobile user equipment to cause the mobile user equipment to perform a second channel quality assessment of an almost blank subframe of the plurality of almost blank subframes, wherein the second instruction identifies the almost blank subframe within which the second channel quality assessment is to be performed; receiving, by the system, the first channel quality assessment and the second channel quality assessment; and determining, by the system, whether the mobile user equipment is performing instantaneous measurements of channel quality assessment based on the first channel quality assessment and the second channel quality assessment.
