Abstract:
1. A method for cancelling interference from data transmissions within a communication network between user equipment (UE) and network nodes, comprising: receiving, at a scheduling coordinator, reception quality indicators from a plurality of UEs indicating, for each UE, representative link quality between each of the UEs and one of a first network node and a second network node; selecting a first scheduled UE from the plurality of UEs to receive data from the first network node during a first period of time and a second scheduled UE to receive data from the second network node during at least a portion of the first period of time; determining a first data rate for transmitting a first signal from the first network node to the first scheduled UE; and determining a second data rate for transmitting a second signal rom the second network node to the second scheduled UE, wherein one or more of the selecting of the first and second scheduled UEs and the determining of the first and second data rates is based on the received reception quality indicators for the first and second scheduled UEs to enable the second scheduled UE to cancel from the second signal interference caused by the first signal.
