Abstract:
Technology for an eNodeB operable to perform multiuser non-orthogonal superposition transmissions for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) is disclosed. The eNodeB can modulate a first physical multicast channel (PMCH) signal for MBMS with a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS). The eNodeB can modulate a second PMCH signal for MBMS with a second MCS. The eNodeB can multiplex the first PMCH signal and the second PMCH signal to form an aggregate PMCH signal. The eNodeB can transmit the aggregate PMCH signal to a plurality of UEs using multiuser non-orthogonal superposition for MBMS, wherein the first PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal is transmitted using physical resource blocks (PRBs) that are partially or fully overlapped in time and frequency with PRBs of the second PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal.
Abstract:
In providing feedback to an eNB in an LTE network for downlink scheduling and link adaptation, a UE issues a channel state information (CSI) report that includes a channel quality index (CQI). The reported CQI should include all UE receiver processing capabilities, including NAICS (network assisted interference cancellation and suppression) capability to cancel and suppress interference. Described are measures that may be taken to provide more accurate reporting of CSI by a terminal with NAICS capability.

Abstract:
Embodiments relate to apparatus for wireless interference mitigation within a first User Equipment (UE). The apparatus comprises at least one channel estimator for estimating a first channel transfer function associated with a first received signal designated for the first UE, and for estimating a second channel transfer function associated with a second received, interference, signal. A symbol estimator is responsive to the at least one channel estimator to process at least the first received signal to produce a symbol estimation. A demodulator, which is responsive to the channel estimator, demodulates the symbol estimation to an output representing a received data unit corresponding to the symbol estimation. The demodulator has a processing unit arranged to demodulate the symbol estimation using the first channel transfer function, the second channel transfer function and a respective modulation scheme for at least the first received signal.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described related to interference averaging to generate feedback information and interference averaging to demodulate receives signals. In embodiments, an evolved Node B (eNB) may transmit interference averaging information to a user equipment (UE) including a time domain averaging indicator indicating a time domain averaging window to be used by the UE for averaging interference measurements in a time domain or a frequency domain averaging indicator to indicate a frequency domain averaging window to be used by the UE for averaging interference measurements in a frequency domain. Additionally, or alternatively, the eNB may transmit an interference resource group (IRG) indicator to the UE to indicate an IRG over which the UE is to perform interference averaging to facilitate demodulation of signals received by the UE from the eNB.
