Claim:
1. A method of interference classification and parameter estimation, comprising: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), scheduling information associated with interfering cells from a network node; generating internally, by the UE, parameters associated with interfering cells; combining the received scheduling information associated with interfering cells from a network node and the internally generated parameters associated with interfering cells to derive an interference mapping information, wherein the interference mapping information comprises Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) aggregation area information and wherein the SINR aggregation area information comprises information about a plurality of regions in a two-dimensional time-frequency map where the SINR can be considered constant; adjusting the parameter estimation to mitigate interference based on the SINR aggregation area information; adjusting, by the UE, signal processing in the UE according to the derived interference mapping information, and providing a collision determination by determining whether interfering signals of the interfering cells are colliding or non-colliding, wherein the collision determination comprises detecting transitions between individual physical resource blocks (PRBs) and/or summing individual SINR values for PRBs.
