Abstract:
1. A method performed in a serving base station of a wireless network providing communication services to a target mobile terminal, the method comprising: receiving from one or more neighboring base stations over one or more inter-BS links one or more configuration information related to one or more interfering data streams, each interfering data stream being a data stream transmitted by a neighboring base station and intended for a mobile terminal other than the target mobile terminal, and each configuration information characterizing a related interfering data stream; forming an interference information for the target mobile terminal based on the one or more configuration information received from the one or more neighboring base stations, the interference information comprising the configuration information related to at least one interfering data stream; transmitting the interference information to the target mobile terminal over a radio resource set, the radio resource set comprising one or more radio resources used to carry data from the serving base station to the target mobile terminal; and transmitting scheduled data to the target mobile terminal over the radio resource set, the scheduled data comprising one or more data streams intended for transmission from the serving base station to the target mobile terminal, wherein the inter-BS links are communication links for communication among base stations, each inter-BS-link utilizing communication resources different from the radio resource(s) used between the base stations and mobile terminals in the network, wherein all radio resources of the radio resource set are exclusively allocated to the target mobile terminal, and wherein the steps of forming the interference information, the step of transmitting the interference information and the step of transmitting the scheduled data to the target mobile terminal comprise:
