Claim:
1. A method of coordinated interference suppression in a communication system implementing at least a first radio access technology via a first base station and a second radio access technology via a second base station, the second radio access technology being different from the first radio access technology, the method comprising: receiving at the second base station, signal quality information relating to an interference signal received at the first base station via the first radio access technology; identifying an interfering user equipment, UE, accessing the second base station via the second radio access technology, the identifying including at least correlating an estimated adjacent channel leakage level of the UE accessing the second base station to an interference level of the interference signal received at the first base station and reported in the signal quality information received at the second base station, the estimated adjacent channel leakage level of the UE being based on modeling of UE emission characteristics; and suppressing, via the second base station, an interference caused by the interfering user equipment.
