PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for mitigating interference in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: Pertinent transmission parameters for a served UE may be sent to at least one interfered UE to support interference mitigation. In one design, information for at least one transmission parameter for a data transmission sent by a first cell to a first UE may be transmitted to at least one UE served by a second cell to enable at least one UE to perform interference mitigation for the data transmission sent by the first cell to the first UE. A cell may send transmission parameters for a UE via a pilot.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for reducing interference to a non-serving base station (a femto cell) when supporting data transmission on an uplink in a wireless network.SOLUTION: A user equipment (UE) can send a data transmission to a serving base station and can send uplink control information (UCI) to a non-serving base station. The UCI includes pertinent information to allow the non-serving base station to process the data transmission from the UE. The UCI allows the non-serving base station to estimate the interference due to the data transmission from the UE and to cancel the interference at the non-serving base station. The interference cancellation can improve the received signal quality at the non-serving base station. After the interference cancellation, the non-serving base station can process a data transmission from another UE served by the base station.

Scrambling may be performed by a cell at a symbol level to enable an interfered UE to distinguish between modulation symbols of desired transmissions and interfering transmissions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods that designate a control attachment point(s) during transmission of data in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system.SOLUTION: The control attachment point is represented by an anchor cell to address control signaling and represent interaction of user equipment (UE) with a wireless communication system from a perspective of control (e.g., supplying/sending grants to the UE, transmitting/receiving ACKS on a downlink/uplink to the UE and control information (CQI), and the like.) The cells can further engage in backhaul transfer of information therebetween, and dynamic switching/change of an anchor point based on criteria such as control loading and channel quality can further be implemented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques to facilitate inter-cell interference cancellation in a wireless network.SOLUTION: An RNTI component manages a set of radio network temporary identifiers (RNTIs) for plural pieces of user equipment (UE). The RNTI component determines whether the UE will likely cause interference with a neighboring cell or experience interference from a neighboring cell, based on each attribute of the UE. The RNTI component includes a space splitting component that allocates a first group of the UE subjected to the determination to a first subset of the divided RNTIs. Based on the determination, the set of RNTIs is divided into at least two subsets. An implicit broadcast component can implicitly broadcast the first subset of the RNTIs to facilitate cancellation of interference possibly caused by the first group of the UE.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate interference measurement and reporting in a network multiple-in-multiple-out (N-MIMO) communication system.SOLUTION: A network device can measure and report interference corresponding to network nodes other than a designated set of nodes. Interference reports can additionally identify dominant interfering nodes, correlation between transmit antennas of the respective nodes, or the like. The interference reports are combined with per-node channel information to manage coordination and scheduling across the respective network nodes. Interference from a network node can be measured by observing reference and/or synchronization signals from the network node. Each non-interfering network node can define null pilot intervals in which transmission is silenced or otherwise reduced. Loading information broadcasted by interfering network nodes can be identified and utilized in connection with interference calculation.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate identifying resources upon which an acknowledgment can be sent or received in a wireless communication environment that leverages coordinated multi-point (CoMP).SOLUTION: The resources are identified on the basis of criteria that are identifiable to a non-anchor cell base station as well as an anchor cell base station, a mobile device, etc. The criteria can be an identifier corresponding to a mobile device. The identifier is mapped to a predetermined set of resources. Examples of the identifier can include a media access control identifier (MACID), a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), a short C-RNTI, etc. The criteria are used to identify physical resources used in a transmission in a cooperation environment such as inter-site packet sharing, cooperative beamforming, or cooperative silence, where the acknowledgment is responsive to the transmission.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for communication on multiple carriers in a wireless communication network.SOLUTION: One or more carriers among multiple carriers available for communication are assigned to a first base station. One or more carriers not assigned to the first base station are assigned to a second base station. Each base station may communicate on each assigned carrier at a first (e.g., full) transmit power level and may communicate on each unassigned carrier at a lower second (e.g., lower) transmit power level. The first and second base stations may belong in different power classes or support different association types. Control information is sent on a designated carrier to support communication on multiple carriers, and a base station broadcasts bar information indicating the status of carriers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for mitigating pilot pollution in a wireless network.SOLUTION: A technique for mitigating pilot pollution includes determining whether to perform pilot cancellation at a terminal. If it is determined that the pilot cancellation is to be performed, the technique further includes: canceling a common pilot from a neighbor cell at the terminal; determining received signal quality of a serving cell at the terminal after canceling the common pilot; determining channel quality indicator (CQI) information on the basis of the received signal quality, and sending the CQI information to the serving cell.
