Abstract:
1. A wireless communication system in which a network apparatus communicates with a mobile station in an interference environment, the system comprising: a transmitter configured to transmit indicating data, wherein the indicating data comprises a plurality of communication modes that the mobile station is configured to operate in, and wherein the indicating data also comprises an interference rejection capability indication for each of the plurality of communication modes, wherein the interference rejection capability indication for a particular communication mode informs the network apparatus whether or not the mobile station has interference rejection capability for the particular communication mode the mobile station has interference rejection capabilities for; a receiver configured to receive the indicating data; and a resource allocator coupled to the receiver and responsive to the received indicating data configured to allocate system resources to be used during a connection between the network apparatus and the mobile station, the system resources are allocated based on a communication mode of the connection between the network apparatus and the mobile station, on the interference rejection capability indication of the mobile station for the communication mode of the connection, and on an expected interference environment expected during the connection, wherein the resource allocator is further configured to allocate the system resources to be used during the connection when the expected interference environment is adverse and the indicated interference rejection capability of the mobile station for the communication mode of the connection is suitable for the adverse interference environment.
