METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION FOR USER EQUIPMENT IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for interference suppression for a user equipment in a heterogeneous network, wherein the heterogeneous network comprises a Macro base station and a low power node, the user equipment is served by the low power node, and the low power node transmits data to the user equipment on a predefined resource block. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving a measurement report from the user equipment; determining a Tx muted resource element in the resource block based on the measurement report; and notifying the user equipment to perform rate matching, so that the user equipment receives data transmitted on the resource block according to a performing result of the rate matching.
