Patent ID: 8687727

Claim:
A method comprising: wirelessly receiving, by a user equipment (UE), interference signal from a first enhanced Node B (eNB) while the UE is communicating with a second eNB over a wireless communication channel; generating, by the UE, interference feedback information that is associated with an interference channel between the first eNB and the UE, based at least in part on receiving the interference signal from the first eNB; generating, by the UE, channel feedback information associated with a channel between the UE and the second eNB; transmitting, by the UE, the interference feedback information to the first eNB via the second eNB; and transmitting, by the UE, the channel feedback information to the second eNB to facilitate a determination, by the second eNB, of a modulation and coding scheme, a rank or a precoding matrix associated with signal transmission by the second eNB to the UE.
