A method of receiving a target link signal at a receiving device, wherein the target link signal is received in a received signal that also includes an interfering link signal, the method comprising: determining that the receiving device is operating in a range-expansion region of a low-power node in a heterogeneous network deployment, based on a serving-cell geometry metric or a dominant-interferer ratio metric or both; responsive to determining that the receiving device is operating in a range-expansion region, configuring the receiving device to perform interference cancellation, wherein said configuring is based on said determining; performing said interference cancellation on the interfering link signal; and demodulating and decoding the target link signal to provide a target link bit stream, characterized in that configuring the receiving device to perform interference cancellation comprises: selecting one or more of a plurality of interference-cancellation techniques, wherein said selecting comprises selecting a post decoding data channel interference cancellation technique and a non-data channel interference cancellation technique in response to determining that the receiving device is operating in the range-expansion region, and wherein performing said interference cancellation on the interfering link signal comprises performing both the post-decoding data-channel interference-cancellation technique and the non-data-channel interference-cancellation technique on the interfering link signal, and configuring the receiving device to receive relevant signals from the network, the relevant signals comprising one or more of signal format information for the interfering link signal, mobile terminal identifier information for the interfering link signal, and control signal contents for the interfering link signal; and wherein performing the interference cancellation comprises obtaining the relevant signals and using the relevant signals to perform interference cancellation on a per-transmit-time-interval basis. determining that the receiving device is operating in a range-expansion region of a low-power node in a heterogeneous network deployment, based on a serving-cell geometry metric or a dominant-interferer ratio metric or both;
