INITIATING NETWORK ASSISTANCE FOR INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

In MIMO scenarios, a mobile terminal (1400) can be exposed to signals intended for wireless terminals (640) other than the mobile terminal (1400). If the mobile terminal (1400) is capable of performing interference cancellation, then a network node (1000), such as a base station (610, 620) or RNC (630), can provide the mobile terminal (1400) with interference information so that the mobile terminal (1400) can efficiently cancel interferences due to these interfering signals. The network node (1000) may provide the mobile terminal (1400) with interference information if it determines that mobile terminal (1400) will benefit from the information. The mobile terminal (1400) may cancel the interfering signals from the received signal based on the interference information.
