Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving at a first user equipment an identifier assigned to a second user equipment, wherein the first and the second user equipment operate in a same cell simultaneously; receiving and decoding at the first user equipment a downlink control channel corresponding to the second user equipment by using the identifier assigned to the second user equipment; determining from the decoded downlink control channel that the second user equipment is operating in a second transmission mode and is allocated a same radio resource as the first user equipment operating in a first transmission mode, wherein the transmission mode of the second user equipment is implicitly indicated by or in the downlink control indication format of the second user equipment; determining from the decoded downlink control channel a transport format for transmissions to the second user equipment; using the determined transport format to decode a transmission received on the radio resource at the first user equipment which is directed to the second user equipment; and canceling the decoded transmission to mitigate interference with a further transmission directed to the first user equipment based on whether the second user equipment is operating in a second transmission mode.
