Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. 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:
measure a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) for each of a plurality of neighboring cells;
calculate an interference strength of each of the plurality of neighboring cells based on the RSRP measurement of the CRS for each of the plurality of neighboring cells;
compare, based on the calculated interference strength of each of the plurality of neighboring cells, a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) demodulation performance of the apparatus with a second PDSCH demodulation performance of the apparatus, wherein the first PDSCH demodulation performance is based on rate matching for a CRS offset associated with each of the plurality of neighboring cells, and wherein the second PDSCH demodulation performance is based on skipping the rate matching for the CRS offset associated with each of the plurality of neighboring cells; and
transmit, based on the comparison, a request to a base station, wherein the request is for the rate matching or skipping the rate matching for the CRS offset associated with each of the plurality of neighboring cells.
