Claim Text:
1. A method of operation of a node in a cellular communications network, comprising: performing a reference measurement at the node, the node being equipped with an enhanced receiver that mitigates interference such that one or more interference components contained in the reference measurement performed by the node are one or more residual interference components, the reference measurement being on a first cell and containing one or more interference components, wherein performing the reference measurement comprises performing a plurality of sub-measurements on a plurality of radio resources; compensating the reference measurement to mitigate at least one residual interference component of the one or more residual interference components contained in the reference measurement at the node and thereby provide an effective measurement, wherein both the one or more residual interference components contained in the reference measurement and the at least one residual interference component mitigated are comprised in the one or more residual interference components received from at least one second cell, and wherein compensating the reference measurement comprises: signaling of the effective measurement to a second node.
