Claim:
1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) for communicating with a serving base station in presence of interference from an interfering base station, the method comprising: acquiring by the UE, a reference signal from the interfering base station, the interfering base station being stronger than the serving base station; obtaining by the UE, a first timing reference from the acquired reference signal of the interfering base station; tracking the first timing from the interfering base station in place of tracking a carrier timing of the serving base station; acquiring by the UE, a second reference signal from the serving base station; obtaining by the UE, a second timing reference from the second reference signal; generating by the UE, an offset timing difference between the serving base station and the interfering base station using the first and second timing references; and communicating by the UE, with the serving base station by processing signals received from the serving base station using the tracked first timing from the interfering base station and the offset timing difference.
