Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for canceling interference at a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. A signal that includes a desired signal and an interference signal is received from at least one Base Station (BS). A random parameter is generated by projecting a vector of the received signal onto a set of projection vectors. A decision metric is determined using the random parameter. A Traffic to Pilot Ratio (TPR) that minimizes the decision metric with respect to both a transmission mode candidate group of the interference signal and a TPR candidate group of the interference signal is determined. The interference signal is canceled from the received signal using the TPR.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, evolved NodeB (EnBs), User Equipment (UE), and chip sets for all of the same, in cellular communication systems are described. One method for a UE includes receiving a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) transmitted by an eNB according to a pattern in a time-frequency resource grid determined based on the transmission scheme of the eNB, measuring the state of the transmission channel using the CSI-RS, generating channel state information based on the measuring, and transmitting the channel state information as feedback. The UE receives a downlink signal including data and a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) from the eNB and estimates the transmission channel using the CRS and then acquires the data using the estimated channel.
