FIELD This disclosure relates generally to communication systems and, more particularly, to infer user equipment interference suppression performance from radio resource management (RRM) reports.
Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services, such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Conventional wireless communication systems can utilize multiple-access techniques that can support communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (eg, bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple-access techniques are code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single- Carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems.
These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate at the municipal, national, regional, and even global levels. . An example of an emerging telecommunication standard is Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE is a set of improvements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard published by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). It improves spectral efficiency to better support mobile broadband Internet access, lower costs, improve services, use new spectrum, use OFDMA on downlink (DL), SC-FDMA on uplink (UL), And other open standards using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there is a need for further improvements in LTE technology. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multi-access technologies and telecommunication standards using these technologies.
User equipment capable of canceling interference from cell-specific reference signals (CRS), physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), or physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) (UE) may do this without explicitly signaling performance to the serving Evolved Node B (eNB). The serving eNB may send a plurality of cell identifiers to the UE to indicate which cell from which interference should be canceled. The UE receives the CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, or PCFICH from the serving cell and cancels the CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, or PCFICH interference from the signals received from the eNB, respectively. The UE cancels the interference from the cells corresponding to the cell identifiers. The UE may then send a report to the eNB with a quality measurement without interference.

In one aspect of the disclosure, a method, apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication in which at least one cell identifier is transmitted to a user equipment is provided. Each cell identifier corresponds to a cell in which interference should be canceled. In addition, a signal is sent to the user equipment. In addition, a report is received that includes a measure of the quality of the transmitted signal without interference.
In one aspect of the disclosure, a method, apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication in which information is received is provided. The information includes a radio network temporary identifier, a control channel element aggregation level, and a physical downlink control channel or physical control format indication for each radio network on which at least one of a physical downlink control channel or a physical control format indicator channel is received. A relative power ratio between the resource elements used for at least one of the child channels and the resource elements used for the reference signals. In addition, the interference is canceled based on the information.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an LTE network architecture 200 using various devices 100 (see FIG. 1). The LTE network architecture 200 may be referred to as an evolved packet system (EPS) 200. EPS 200 includes one or more user equipment (UE) 202, Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) 204, Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 210, Home Subscriber Server (HSS) ( 220, and the operator's IP services 222. The EPS can be interconnected with other access networks, but for simplicity these entities / interfaces are not shown. As shown, EPS provides packet-switched services, but as those skilled in the art will readily appreciate, the various concepts presented throughout this disclosure may be extended to networks that provide circuit-switched services.
The E-UTRAN includes an evolved Node B (eNB) 206 and other eNBs 208. The eNB 206 provides user and control plane protocol terminations for the UE 202. The eNB 206 may be connected to other eNBs 208 via an X2 interface (ie, backhaul) or a wired or wireless interface that may include wireless transmission. The eNB 206 may also be referred to as a base station, base transceiver station, radio base station, radio transceiver, transceiver function, base service set (BSS), extended service set (ESS), or some other suitable terminology. It may be referred to by those skilled in the art. The eNB 206 provides the access point for the UE 202 to the EPC 210. Examples of UEs 202 include cellular telephones, smartphones, session initiation protocol (SIP) telephones, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite radios, global positioning systems, multimedia devices, video devices, digital audio players (eg MP3 players), cameras, game consoles, or any other similarly functioning device.

EPC 210 may include a mobile management entity (MME) 212, other MMEs 214, a serving gateway 216, and a packet data network (PDN) network 218. The MME 212 is a control node that processes the signaling between the UE 202 and the EPC 210. In general, MME 212 provides bearer and connection management. All user IP packets are forwarded through the serving gateway 216, which itself is connected to the PDN gateway 218. PDN gateway 218 provides UE IP address assignment as well as other functions. The PDN Gateway 218 is connected to the operator's IP Services 222. The operator's IP services 222 may include or provide, for example, access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), and a PS streaming service (PSS).
3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an access network in an LTE network architecture. In this example, the access network 300 is divided into a plurality of cellular areas (cells) 302. One or more lower power class eNBs 308, 312 may have cellular regions 310, 314, respectively, that overlap with one or more of the cells 302. The lower power class eNBs 308, 312 may be femto cells (eg, home eNBs (HeNBs)), pico cells, micro cells, or repeaters. The higher power class or macro eNB 304 is assigned to the cell 302 and configured to provide the EPC 210 with an access point for some or all UEs in the cell 302. In this example of the access network 300, there is no centralized controller, but the central controller may be used in alternative configurations. The eNB 304 performs radio related functions including radio bearer control, admission control, mobility control, scheduling, security, and connection to the serving gateway 216 (see FIG. 2).
The modulation and multiple access scheme used by access network 300 may vary depending on the particular telecommunication standard being deployed. In LTE applications, OFDM is used on the DL and SC-FDMA is used on the UL to support both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD). As those skilled in the art will readily appreciate from the detailed description to follow, the various concepts presented herein are well suited for LTE applications. However, these concepts can be easily extended to other telecommunication standards using other modulation and multiple access techniques. By way of example, these concepts may be extended to evolution-data optimized (EV-DO), or ultra mobile broadband (UMB). EV-DO and UMB are air interface standards published by the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 based standards and use CDMA to provide broadband Internet access to mobile stations. These concepts also include Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) using Wideband-CDMA (W-CDMA) and other variations of CDMA such as TD-SCDMA; Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) using TDMA; And flash-OFDM using Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, and OFDMA. UTRA, E-UTRA, UMTS, LTE and GSM are described in documents from the 3GPP organization. CDMA2000 and UMB are described in documents from the 3GPP2 organization. The actual wireless communication standard and multiple access technology employed will depend on the specific application and the overall design constraints imposed on the system.
The eNB 304 may have a number of antennas that support MIMO technology. The use of MIMO technology enables the eNB 304 to use the spatial domain to support spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and transmit diversity.
Spatial multiplexing may be used to transmit different streams of data simultaneously on the same frequency. Data streams may be sent to multiple UEs 306 to increase overall system capacity or to a single UE 306 to increase data rate. This is accomplished by spatially precoding each data stream (ie, applying amplitude and phase scaling) and then transmitting each spatially precoded stream through multiple transmit antennas on the downlink. The spatially precoded data stream arrives at the UE (s) 306 with a different spatial code that enables each of the UE (s) 306 to recover one or more data streams specified for that UE 306. do. On the uplink, each UE 306 transmits a spatially precoded data stream that enables the eNB 304 to identify the source of each spatially precoded data stream.
Spatial multiplexing is generally used when channel conditions are good. When channel conditions are less favorable, beamforming may be used to focus the transmission energy in one or more directions. This can be achieved by spatially precoding the data for transmission over multiple antennas. To achieve good coverage at the edges of the cell, a single stream beamforming transmission can be used in combination with transmit diversity.
In the detailed description that follows, various aspects of an access network will be described with reference to a MIMO system supporting OFDM on the downlink. OFDM is a spread-spectrum technique that modulates data over multiple subcarriers within an OFDM symbol. Subcarriers are spaced at precise frequencies. This interval provides "orthogonality" that enables the receiver to recover data from the subcarriers. In the time domain, a guard interval (eg, cyclic prefix) may be added to each OFDM symbol to counter interference between OFDM symbols. The uplink may use SC-FDMA in the form of a DFT-spread OFDM signal to compensate for high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR).
Various frame structures may be used to support DL and UL transmissions. An example of a DL frame structure will now be presented with reference to FIG. 4. However, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, the frame structure for any particular application will be different depending on any number of factors. In this example, frame 10 ms is divided into ten evenly sized sub-frames. Each sub-frame contains two consecutive time slots.
A resource grid may be used to represent two time slots, each time slot comprising a resource block. The resource grid is divided into a number of resource elements. In LTE, a resource block includes 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain, 7 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain, or 84 resource elements, for the normal cyclic prefix of each OFDM symbol. Some of the resource elements, as indicated as R 402, 404, include a DL reference signal (DL-RS). The DL-RS includes a CRS (sometimes also called a common RS) 402 and a UE-specific RS (UE-RS) 404. The UE-RS 404 is transmitted only on the resource blocks to which the corresponding PDSCH is mapped. The number of bits carried by each resource element depends on the modulation scheme. Thus, the more resource blocks the UE receives and the higher the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate for the UE.
An example of a UE frame structure 500 will now be presented with reference to FIG. 5. Figure 5 shows an exemplary format for UL in LTE. Available resource blocks for the UL may be divided into a data section and a control section. The control section is formed at the two edges of the system bandwidth and may have a configurable size. Resource blocks of the control section may be allocated to the UEs for transmission of control information. The data section may include all resource blocks or parts not included in the control section. The design of FIG. 5 generates a data section comprising contiguous subcarriers, the contiguous subcarriers allowing a single UE to be assigned all of the contiguous subcarriers of the data section.
The UE may be assigned resource blocks 510a, 510b of the control section to transmit control information to the eNB. The UE may also be assigned resource blocks 520a, 520b of the data section to send data to the eNB. The UE may send control information in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the assigned resource blocks of the control section. The UE may transmit only data and both data and control information in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the assigned resource blocks of the data section. The UL transmission may span both slots of a subframe as shown in FIG. 5 and may hop over frequency.
As shown in FIG. 5, a set of resource blocks may be used to perform initial system access and achieve UL synchronization in a physical random access channel (PRACH) 530. The PRACH 530 carries a random sequence and may not carry any UL data / signaling. Each random access preamble occupies a bandwidth corresponding to six consecutive resource blocks. The starting frequency is specified by the network. That is, the transmission of the random access preamble is limited to certain time and frequency resources. There is no frequency hopping for the PRACH. PRACH attempts are delivered in a single subframe (1 ms) and the UE can only make a single PRACH attempt per frame (10 ms).
Radio protocol architecture may take various forms depending on the particular application. An example system will now be presented with reference to FIG. 6. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a radio protocol architecture for the user and control planes.
In FIG. 6, the radio protocol architecture for the UE and the eNB is shown in three layers, ie, layer 1, layer 2, and layer 3. Layer 1 is the lowest layer and implements various physical layer signal processing functions. Layer 1 will be referred to herein as physical layer 606. Layer 2 (L2 layer) 608 is above the physical layer 606 and is dedicated to the link between the UE and the eNB via the physical layer 606.
In the user plane, the L2 layer 608 may include a media access control (MAC) sublayer 610, a radio link control (RLC) sublayer 612, and a packet data convergence protocol terminating at the eNB on the network side ( packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) 614 sublayer. Although not shown, the UE terminates at the network side (eg, IP layer) terminating at the PDN gateway 208 (see FIG. 2) on the network layer and at the other end of the connection (eg, remote UE, server, etc.). It may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 608, including an application layer.
PDCP sublayer 614 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels, and by header compression for higher layer data packets, ciphering the data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead. Security and handover support for UEs between eNBs. The RLC sublayer 612 is intended to compensate for out-of-order reception due to segmentation and assembly of higher layer data packets, retransmission of lost data packets, and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). Includes functionality for reordering data packets. The MAC sublayer 610 may provide multiplexing between logical and transport channels, add and include the allocation of various radio resources (eg, resource blocks) between UEs and manage HARQ operations.
In the control plane, the radio protocol architecture for the UE and eNB is substantially the same for the physical layer 606 and the L2 layer 608 except that there is no header compression function for the control plane. The control plane also includes a radio resource control (RRC) sublayer 616 of layer 3. The RRC sublayer 616 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (ie, radio bearers) and configuring lower layers using RRC signaling between the eNB and the UE.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an eNB 710 in communication with a UE 750 in an access network. At the DL, upper layer packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 775. The controller / processor 775 implements the functionality of the L2 layer described above with respect to FIG. 6. In the DL, the controller / processor 775 is responsible for header compression, encryption, packet fragmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels and radio resource allocation to UE 750 based on various priority metrics, retransmission of lost packets. And signaling to the UE 750.
TX processor 716 implements various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (ie, physical layer). Signal processing functions include coding and interleaving, and various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift (QPSK)) to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the UE 750. keying), M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM), and mapping to signal constellations. The coded and modulated symbols are then divided into parallel streams. Each stream is then mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) in the time and / or frequency domain, and then combined together using an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to time domain OFDM symbol. Create a physical channel to carry the stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to produce multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from the channel estimator 774 can be used for determining the coding and modulation scheme as well as for spatial processing. The channel estimate may be derived from the reference signal and / or the channel condition feedback transmitted by the UE 750. Each spatial stream is then provided to a different antenna 720 via a separate transmitter 718 TX. Each transmitter 718 TX modulates an RF carrier with each spatial stream for transmission.
At the UE 750, each receiver 754 RX receives a signal through its respective antenna 752. Each receiver 754 RX recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to a receive (RX) processor 756.
The RX processor implements various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The RX processor 756 performs spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial streams specified for the UE 750. If multiple spatial streams are designated for the UE 750, they may be combined into a single OFDM symbol stream by the RX processor 756. The RX processor 756 then uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the OFDM symbol stream from the time-domain to the frequency domain. The frequency domain signal includes a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols and reference signal on each subcarrier are recovered and demodulated by determining the most promising signal constellation points transmitted by the eNB 710. These soft decisions may be based on channel estimates computed by the channel estimator 758. The soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals that were originally sent by the eNB 710 on the physical channel. Data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 759.
The controller / processor 759 implements the L2 layer described above with respect to FIG. 6. In the UL, the controller / processor 759 provides functionality including demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper layer packets from the core network. to provide. Upper layer packets representing all protocol layers above the L2 layer are then provided to the data sink 762. Various control signals may also be provided to the data sink 762 for L3 processing. The controller / processor 759 is also dedicated to error detection using an acknowledgment (ACK) and / or negative acknowledgment (NACK) protocol to support HARQ operations.
In the UL, a data source 767 is used to provide upper layer packets to the controller / processor 759. Data source 767 represents all protocol layers above L2 layer L2. Similar to the functionality described in connection with the DL transmission by the eNB 710, the controller / processor 759 may perform header compression, encryption, packet fragmentation and reordering based on radio resource allocations by the eNB 710, and By providing multiplexing between logical and transport channels, the L2 layer is implemented for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 759 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the eNB 710.
Channel estimates derived by the channel estimator 758 from the feedback or reference signal sent by the eNB 170 are selected by the TX processor 768 to select appropriate coding and modulation schemes, and to facilitate spatial processing. ) Can be used. The spatial streams generated by the TX processor 768 are provided to different antenna 752 via separate transmitters 754 TX. Each transmitter 754 TX modulates an RF carrier into respective spatial streams for transmission.
The UE transmission is processed at the eNB 710 in a manner similar to that described with respect to the receiver function of the UE 750. Each receiver 718 RX receives a signal through its respective antenna 720. Each receiver 718 RX restores the modulated information on the RF carrier and provides information to the RX processor 770. The RX processor 770 implements the L1 layer.
The controller / processor 759 implements the L2 layer described above with respect to FIG. 6. In the UL, the control / processor 759 provides demultiplexing between the transport channel and the logical channel, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover upper layer packets from the UE 750. Upper layer packets from the controller / processor 775 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 759 is also responsible for error detection using the ACK and / or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.
In one configuration, the processing system 114 described in connection with FIG. 1 includes an eNB 710. Specifically, processing system 114 includes TX processor 716, RX processor 770, and controller / processor 775. In another configuration, the processing system 114 described in connection with FIG. 1 includes a UE 750. Specifically, processing system 114 includes TX processor 768, RX processor 756, and controller / processor 759. According to an example method, the eNB determines whether the UE can cancel interference from the CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, or PCFICH transmitted based on the RRM report sent by the UE, without explicit signaling. When the UE is unable to cancel the interference, the UE sends an RRM report containing a quality measure for which the interference is not canceled. When the UE can cancel the interference, the UE transmits an RRM report containing a quality measure with the interference canceled. According to an example method, the eNB can infer UE interference suppression capabilities based on RRM reports. An example method is further described with respect to FIG. 8.
FIG. 8 is a diagram to illustrate an example method related to automatic cancellation of interference by a UE without explicitly signaling performance to a serving cell (eNB). FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the UE 806 served by the eNB 802 may suppress CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or PCFICH interference. The UE 806 receives configuration information providing at least one identifier in the cell identifier list 808 of cells. The UE 806 may then attempt to cancel the interference corresponding to the cells of the cell identifier list 808. For example, assuming that the cell identifier of the neighboring eNB 804 is in the cell identifier list 808, the UE 806 attempts to detect the eNB 804. The UE 806 may detect the eNB 804 through the use of synchronization signals from the eNB 804. In the LTE example, the UE 806 may use the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and / or the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) transmitted from the eNB 804. If the synchronization signal (s) received from the eNB 804 is a weak signal, the UE 806 may cancel the interference caused by the stronger synchronization signal received from the stronger cell to detect the eNB 804. have. In the LTE example, the UE 806 may receive the PSS / SSS from the eNB 804 and cancel the interfering PSS / SSS from the eNB 820 to detect the PSS / SSS from the eNB 804. If the UE 806 is unable to detect the eNB 804 via the PSS / SSS sent by the eNB 804, the UE 806 may determine positioning reference signals (PRS) from the eNB 804. ENB 804 may be detected.
Alternatively, UE 806 detects eNB 804 via a broadcast channel sent by eNB 804 (eg, in LTE, using a physical broadcast channel (PBCH)). can do. In this configuration, if the PBCH received from the eNB 804 is a weak signal, the UE 806 may cancel the interference from the stronger PBCH received from the other cell to detect the eNB 804. For example, the UE 806 may receive the PBCH from the eNB 804 and cancel the interfering PBCH received from the eNB 820.
In yet another alternative, rather than detecting the eNB 804 based on a PBCH sent directly from the eNB 804, the UE 806 may select the eNB 804 based on the PBCH received by the eNB 802. Can be detected. In such a configuration, the eNB 802 may receive a PBCH corresponding to the eNB 804 via a tunneling scheme, where the eNB 802 sends the PBCH of the eNB 804 to the UE 806. send.
After the UE 806 detects the eNB 804, the UE may cancel the interference caused by the signal 812 from the signal 810. Signals 810 and 812 may be CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, or PCFICH. The UE 806 may receive configuration information identifying the type of signals to perform interference cancellation. For example, the UE 806 may be configured to suppress interference to the received CRS rather than the received PDSCH, PDCCH or PCFICH. The UE determines 814 the received signal received power (RSRP) of the signal 810. After canceling the interference from signal 812 at signal 810, UE 806 also determines 814 the received signal received quality (RSRQ) of signal 810. After canceling the interference from signal 812 at signal 810, UE 806 may also determine 814 the received signal received quality (RSRQ) of signal 810. The RSRQ measurement may correspond to signals received at a resource configured for the UE 806 to communicate. The RSRQ measurement may correspond to signals received at resources that the UE 806 is not configured to communicate with, such as all DL resources and / or multiple sets of resources. The RSRQ is equal to the received signal received power RSRP divided by the received signal strength indicator RSSI. Interference cancellation affects the RSSI value. After determining the RSRQ, the UE 806 sends an RRM report 816 that includes the RSRQ of the received signal 810 without interference 812. The UE also transmits the RSRP of the received signal 810 and the RSRP of the interfering signal 812. The UE 806 may also send an RRM report 818 that includes the RSRQ of the signal 810 with the interference 812.
As discussed above, the signals 810, 812 may be a PDCCH or a PCFICH. The signals PDCCH / PCFICH may be used to schedule paging information, system information or other information. If the signals 810, 812 are PDCCH or PCFICH, the eNB 802 sends the UE a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI), Control Channel Element (CCE) Aggregation for each radio network where the PDCCH / PCFICH was received. At least one of an aggregation level and a relative power ratio between resource elements (REs) used for the PDCCH / PCFICH and REs used for the reference signals will be transmitted. Based on the received information, the UE 806 can cancel the interference caused by the signal 812 from the received signal 810. If the interference is caused by individual data, the interference can be suppressed through spatial techniques.
The eNB 802 may receive an RRM report 816. Based on the RRM report 816, the eNB 802 determines whether the UE 806 can cancel the interference 812 and determines 822 whether to serve the UE 806. For example, eNB 802 may compare with RSRP of signal 812 which interferes with RSRP of signal 810. When the RSRP of the interfering signal 812 from the neighboring eNB 804 is greater than the RSRP of the signal 810 from the serving eNB 802 and the RSRQ of the signal 810 is greater than zero, the eNB 802 is a UE. It can be inferred that 806 can cancel the interfering signal 812 from the signal 810. If the UE 806 can cancel the interference 812, the eNB 802 can determine to continue serving the UE 806 even when the UE 806 is on the cell edge 824. As such, if eNB 802 determines that UE 806 can suppress CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, and / or PCFICH interference, eNB 802 may cause UE 806 to be further away from eNB 802. When serving the UE 806 may be.
9 is a flowchart 900 of a first method related to automatic cancellation of interference by a UE without explicitly signaling performance to the serving eNB. The method is performed by a UE, such as UE 806. According to the method, the UE receives 902 configuration information identifying a first set of resources for transmission. The UE can also receive configuration information indicating that the UE will provide quality measurements regarding the second set of resources that the UE may not transmit (904). The second set of resources may include some or all DL resources and / or multiple sets of resources. If the UE suppresses PDCCH / PCFICH interference, the UE also receives 906 configuration information including an RNTI for each radio network to suppress PDCCH / PCFICH interference. The configuration information may include the relative power ratio between the REs used for the CCE aggregation level and the PDCCH / PCFICH and the REs used for the reference signals. The UE receives at least one cell identifier from the serving eNB (908). Each cell identifier corresponds to a cell in which interference should be canceled. The UE removes, from the received signal, the interference received from the cell corresponding to one or more of the at least one cell identifier (910). The UE then sends 912 a report that includes a quality measurement of the received signal without interference. The quality measure corresponds to the signals received on the first set of resources and corresponds to the signals received on the second set of resources when the UE is configured to provide a quality measure on the second set of resources ( 912).
10 is a flowchart 1000 of a second method related to automatic cancellation of interference by a UE without explicitly signaling performance to the serving eNB. The method is performed by a UE, such as UE 806. According to the method, the UE receives at least one cell identifier (1002). Each cell identifier corresponds to a cell in which interference should be canceled. The UE cancels or suppresses interference in a signal received from cells corresponding to one or more of the at least one cell identifier (1004). The UE then transmits 1006 a report that includes a quality measurement of the received signal without interference. The UE also sends 1008 a second report that includes a quality measurement of the received signal with interference.
FIG. 11 is a flow chart 1100 of a third method of wireless communication. The method is performed by a UE, such as UE 806. According to the method, the UE receives at least one cell identifier 1102. Each cell identifier corresponds to a cell in which interference should be canceled. The UE detects a cell corresponding to one of the at least one cell identifier. Such detection may be performed via the received PSS / SSS, PRS, or PBCH (1104). The UE then cancels or suppresses 1106 the received signal from interference from the detected cell corresponding to one or more of the at least one cell identifier. The UE then sends a report 1108 that includes a quality measurement of the received signal without interference.
In one configuration, the UE receives at least one synchronization signal (eg, PSS or SSS) from a cell corresponding to one of the at least one cell identifier. In addition, the UE may additionally cancel the interference caused by the received synchronization signal. When the cell cannot be detected using the synchronization signaling, the UE may detect a cell corresponding to one of the at least one cell identifier based on the PRS. In an alternative configuration, the UE receives a PBCH from a cell corresponding to one of the at least one cell identifier. In addition, the UE may cancel or suppress the interference caused by the additionally received PBCH to detect the cell. In further configurations, the UE may detect a cell corresponding to one of the at least one cell identifier based on the PBCH of the neighbor cell received from the serving cell.

Receives information 1202 that may include at least one of the relative power ratios between the REs. The UE receives 1204 interference from at least one of the respective radio networks on which at least one of the PDCCH or PCFICH was received. The UE cancels the interference in the received signal (ie, the PDCCH and / or PCFICH signal received from the serving eNB) based on the information.

The signal cancellation module 1304 cancels, cancels, or otherwise suppresses interference from neighboring cells detected by the cell detection module 1302. The signal cancellation module 1304 can receive configuration information to enable interference suppression. For example, when the received signal is one of a PDCCH or a PCFICH, the signal cancellation module 1304 may determine the RNTI, CCE aggregation level, the PDCCH or PCFICH for each radio network in which at least one of the PDCCH or PCFICH is received. Information including a relative power ratio between the REs used for the at least one of the REs and the REs used for reference signals may be received.

Each cell identifier corresponds to a cell in which interference should be canceled. The eNB sends a signal to the UE (1406). The signal may be at least one of CRS, PDSCH, PDCCH, or PCFICH. The eNB receives a report that includes a measurement of the quality of the transmitted signal (1408). The quality measure may correspond to a signal sent in the first set of resources. The eNB then determines 1410 whether the UE can cancel the interference based on the received report. The eNB may then determine 1412 whether to serve the UE based on whether the UE can cancel the interference.
The quality measure may be an RSRQ measure and the report may be an RRM report.

Cell identifiers associated with the identified cells are provided to a Tx / Rx module 1508 that provides cell identifiers to the UE 1510. The Tx / Rx module 1508 receives a measurement report from the UE 1510. The measurement report analyzer 1504 receives the measurement report and determines whether the UE 1510 can cancel, remove, or otherwise suppress interference from the identified cells based on the measurement report. The UE service module 1506 determines whether to serve the UE 1510 based on whether the UE 1510 can cancel the interference.
