Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for rate matching or skipping rate matching for a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) offset associated with each of a plurality of neighboring cells based on a comparison of a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) demodulation performance of the UE with a second PDSCH demodulation performance of the apparatus, wherein the first PDSCH demodulation performance is based on rate matching for the CRS, and wherein the second PDSCH demodulation performance is based on skipping the rate matching for the CRS for each of the plurality of neighboring cells;
apply, based on the received request, the rate matching or skipping the rate matching for the CRS offset associated with each of the plurality of neighboring cells; and
transmit, to the UE, an indication of the rate matching or skipping the rate matching for the at the CRS offset associated with each of the plurality of neighboring cells.
