SIGNALING OF REFERENCE SYMBOL INTERFERENCE CHARACTERISTICS FOR ADVANCED UE RECEIVERS

摘要

Advanced receivers in 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) user equipment (UE) may be configured for interference limited operation. Signaling of reference symbol interference characteristics for advanced user equipment receivers may assist this configuration for interference limited operation. Interference suppression can lead to higher user throughput and therefore higher system capacity and better quality of service. A method can include providing a user equipment with information about an expected interference situation on resource elements carrying reference signals. The user equipment can be configured to apply the information to improve performance of a receiver of the user equipment.
