A method to facilitate the minimization of inter-cell interference by exploiting its known characteristics including a modulation and coding scheme of interfering signals provided by a network, wherein the overall throughput of a user equipment connected to a serving cell of a cell network is affected by the presence of inter-cell interference of at least a main interfering neighbour cell of said cell network, said user equipment incorporating Successive Interference Cancellation, SIC, capabilities, and said method comprising performing a resources scheduling mechanism and/or power control process in said cell network according to the availability of said SIC capabilities in said user equipment, said cell network including a LTE network and said resources scheduling mechanism and/or power control process comprising: - using said SIC capabilities in said user equipment if the difference between a working signal of said serving cell and said inter-cell interference is below a threshold value, said difference being calculated by means of said user equipment, the latter further communicating to said cell network if the difference between said working signal and said inter-cell interference is below said threshold value or the difference being calculated in said cell network according to measurements submitted by said user equipment to said cell network; - sending, said serving cell, a user equipment identifier of said user equipment to said at least one main interfering neighbour cell; - performing, when said user equipment is in the circumstance of using said SIC capabilities, a negotiation phase between both cells to coordinate transmission to support the use of said SIC capabilities; and once said negotiation phase has finished, informing to said user equipment the results of said negotiation phase in order to carry out interference cancellation procedures, according to said SIC capabilities by means of an Interference Cancellation Reference Signal, or IC-RS, transmitted to said user equipment in a Resource Element, wherein a different IC-RS is transmitted by each antenna port and each of said IC-RS at least indicates the modulation and coding schemes employed by corresponding cell, wherein the method further comprises: - exchanging, on said negotiation phase, modulation and coding schemes between said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell and reserve a set of resources for said user equipment, the serving cell and the at least one main interfering neighbour cell belonging to the same eNodeB or to the same Radio Access Network infrastructure; - establishing a common scheduling decision based on said exchange of modulation and coding schemes to be used by said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell, said common scheduling decision dynamically adapted to the propagation conditions of each cell in each Transmission Time Interval; and - reserving, on said negotiation phase, a set of resources for said user equipment and establishing a common scheduling decision based on a common modulation and coding scheme to be used by said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell. - using said SIC capabilities in said user equipment if the difference between a working signal of said serving cell and said inter-cell interference is below a threshold value, said difference being calculated by means of said user equipment, the latter further communicating to said cell network if the difference between said working signal and said inter-cell interference is below said threshold value or the difference being calculated in said cell network according to measurements submitted by said user equipment to said cell network; - sending, said serving cell, a user equipment identifier of said user equipment to said at least one main interfering neighbour cell; - performing, when said user equipment is in the circumstance of using said SIC capabilities, a negotiation phase between both cells to coordinate transmission to support the use of said SIC capabilities; and - exchanging, on said negotiation phase, modulation and coding schemes between said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell and reserve a set of resources for said user equipment, the serving cell and the at least one main interfering neighbour cell belonging to the same eNodeB or to the same Radio Access Network infrastructure; - establishing a common scheduling decision based on said exchange of modulation and coding schemes to be used by said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell, said common scheduling decision dynamically adapted to the propagation conditions of each cell in each Transmission Time Interval; and - reserving, on said negotiation phase, a set of resources for said user equipment and establishing a common scheduling decision based on a common modulation and coding scheme to be used by said serving cell and said at least one main interfering neighbour cell.
