Claim Text:
1. A method performed by an enhanced node B (eNB) in an LTE network for providing network assistance to user equipment (UE) for coordination of interference mitigation, the method comprising: indicating a reduced number of transmission options with a smaller signaling codebook, the smaller signaling codebook having entries that are a subset of entries of a larger master codebook, the transmission options comprising configurations for a plurality of transmission modes (TMs) defined by the larger master signaling codebook, the configurations including at least modulation, transmission rank, antenna configuration, and multiplexing configurations for at least some of the TMs; and providing network-assistance (NA) interference cancellation signaling (ICS) (NA-ICS) side information to the UE as part of a NA-ICS feedback message, the side information comprising indicators of the smaller signaling codebook, wherein the UE is arranged to perform an interference cancellation technique based on the smaller signaling codebook.
