Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a radio communication system and, more specifically, to techniques of interference suppression/cancellation in downlink coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission.
- CoMP coordinated multi-point
- Coordinated multi-point transmission/reception is considered in LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced Release 11(Rel. 11) as a tool to improve the coverage of high data rates, the cell-edge throughput, and also to increase the system throughput as described in the Sect. 4 of NPL1.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- Rel. 11 Long Term Evolution-Advanced Release 11
- CSI-RS channel state/statistical information-reference signal
- CRMS CoMP resource management set
- CMS CoMP measurement set
- NPL1 a set of points about which CSI related to their link to a user equipment (UE) is measured and/or reported.
- Fig. 1 shows a case where UE1's CMS includes its serving point LPN1 and neighbor point Macro eNB; while UE2's CoMP measurement set includes only its serving point LPN2.
- the long-term measurements of received reference signals are made and reported by UE to its serving cell.
- the reference signal received power (RSRP) defined in Sect. 5.1.1 of NPL3, is used for the CRMS and CMS decision.
- RSRP reference signal received power
- Fig. 2 only the neighbor point satisfying that the difference between serving cell's RSRP, RSRP serv , and neighbor cell's RSRP, RSRP neigh , is smaller than a pre-defined threshold TH RSRP, will be included in the CRMS, i.e., RSRP serv - RSRP neigh ⁇ TH RSRP .
- the maximum 3 top points in the RSRP ranking list are selected in the CMS for downlink CoMP in LTE Rel. 11.
- a Rel. 11 UE can be configured to report one or more CSI processes per component carrier.
- Each CSI process is configured by the association of channel part, one non-zero power CSI-RS resource in the CMS, and interference part, one Interference Measurement Resource (CSI-IM) which occupies 4 REs that can be configured as a single zero power CSI-RS configuration.
- CSI-IM Interference Measurement Resource
- the CSI processes considering the interference power with or without muting on different cells in the CMS need to be estimated at UE side.
- the obtained channel state information such as precoding vector index (PMI), rank index (RI) and channel quality index (CQI) is used for channel-dependent scheduling to support the variable CoMP schemes among multiple coordinated points in the CMS.
- PMI precoding vector index
- RI rank index
- CQI channel quality index
- CSI channel state information
- a point for coordinated multi-point transmission/reception can be used as a technical term including a cell, base station, Node-B, eNB, remote radio equipment (RRE), distributed antenna, and the likes.
- HetNet Heterogeneous Network
- LPNs low power nodes
- inter-point distance LTE Rel. 12.
- the maximum 3 points in the CRMS can be included in the CMS if their RSRP satisfying RSRP serv - RSRP neigh ⁇ TH RSRP .
- the limited number of points can be selected as transmission points (TPs) or CS/CB points to improve the spectrum efficiency at the transmitter side. For example, 2 TPs are selected for JT; one TP is selected for DPS; and one point is selected for CS/CB.
- Type_1 A point in the CMS, which is not selected as a TP or a CS/CB point, may dynamically result in strong interference to a CoMP UE, e.g., Point 2 in the CMS of Points 0, 1 and 2 in Fig. 4; and
- Type_2 A point outside the CMS, which has high RSRP, may dynamically result in strong interference to a CoMP UE, e.g., Point 3 outside the CMS of Points 0, 1 and 2 in Fig. 4.
- the UE 30 receives the data based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion by using the estimated channel matrix as follows. Assuming X s is the transmit data signal to the target UE0 in the frequency domain, X i is the frequency-domain interfering data signal of the other UE, the received frequency-domain signal Y can be written by the following equation (1):
- H ⁇ H-circumflex ( ⁇ ) as in the above equation (1) is denoted by H ⁇ for convenience in writing.
- H ⁇ i is the precoded channel matrix at the point i and N is Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN).
- AWGN Additive White Gaussian Noise
- H ⁇ s is the estimated equivalent channel which is nearly equal to H ⁇ 0 + H ⁇ 1 .
- Point 2 in the CMS is not selected (type_1 point) and therefore, the transmission of the other UE's data at Point 2 may result in the strong interference to the target UE0. Also the interference from Point 3, which has high RSRP but not included the CMS (type_2 point) may also reduce the SINR of the target UE.
- 3GPP TR 36.819 v11.0.0 Coordinated multi-point operation for LTE physical layer aspects (Release 11). http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/36_series/36.819/.
- a simple solution is to increase the number of selected TPs for JT or CS/CB points to improve the user throughput of the CoMP UE.
- the improvement for the CoMP UE costs the resources at such a point for other UEs, resulting in the degradation of the other UEs' user throughput.
- CSI channel state information
- an advanced receiver with interference suppression (IS) or interference cancellation (IC) has been proposed to improve the performance.
- the interference suppression (IS) is made by using interference rejection combining (IRC) in NPL5 and the interference cancellation (IC) is made by generating interference replica in NPL6.
- IRC interference rejection combining
- IC interference cancellation
- NPL6 the channel estimation of the interfering signals is assumed ideally known to achieve good IC performance.
- NPL5 without the knowledge of the interfering channel, the correlation of the overall interferences plus AWGN is directly calculated by using the received data and the target UE's DM-RS.
- the performance of IRC receiver in NPL5 is evaluated assuming the Gaussian-distributed inter-cell interference and the channel estimation error may severely degrade the performance due to the limited average number of samples.
- the inter-cell interference may not follow Gaussian distribution, especially from the point close to the transmission point. Therefore, without the knowledge of the strong interference from the specific point, such as the point of type_1 or type_2, the performance improvement by IS/IC is limited.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method and system which can achieve effective interference suppression/cancelation in downlink coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission.
- a radio communication system has a network including multiple points which is capable of communicating with a user equipment, wherein the network signals the user equipment of information related to an interfering point for interference suppression or cancelation at the user equipment, wherein the interfering point is a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme.
- a user equipment in a network including multiple points wherein the user equipment is capable of communicating with the multiple points includes: a radio transceiver for communicating with at least one of the multiple points; and a receiver for receiving data from the network with suppressing or canceling interference from an interfering point based on information related to the interfering point, wherein the interfering point is a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme.
- a scheduler in a radio communication system comprising a network including multiple points which is capable of communicating with a user equipment, includes: an interference information configuring section for configuring information related to an interfering point which is a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme; and a communication section for sending the information related to the interfering point to the user equipment for interference suppression or cancelation at the user equipment.
- a communication control method in a radio communication system comprising a network including multiple points which is capable of communicating with a user equipment, includes the steps of: selecting an interfering point as a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme; and signaling from the network to the user equipment information related to the interfering point for interference suppression or cancelation at the user equipment.
- effective interference suppression/cancelation at a user equipment can be made in downlink coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission.

- the network provides the signaling to indicate the reference signal used at a selected interfering point, which is included in the CRMS but neither selected for data transmission nor CS/CB.
- the reference signal used at the selected interfering point is used for dynamic network-assisted interference suppression or cancellation (IS/IC) at the UE receiver.
- IS/IC dynamic network-assisted interference suppression or cancellation
- the coordinated scheduling according to the exemplary embodiment can be implemented in a centralized scheduling system as shown in Fig. 6 or a distributed scheduling system as shown in Fig. 7.
- the functions of the centralized scheduling can also be distributed into multiple nodes.
- the centralized scheduling system includes a predetermined radio node (Macro eNB) and multiple radio nodes (N2-N4).
- the Macro eNB is connected to nodes N2-N4 through backhaul links (BLs) respectively and user equipments UE1-UE4 are served by the Macro eNB and the nodes N2-N4, respectively.
- the Macro eNB plus nodes N2-N4 are regarded as a CoMP cooperating set.
- the Macro eNB is provided with a centralized scheduler, which performs the CRMS and CMS decision, reference signal (RS) and PQL configuration as well as coordinated resource allocation for all UEs in the CoMP cooperating set. The details of the coordinated scheduling in the centralized scheduling system will be described later.
- the distributed scheduling system includes multiple radio nodes (Macro eNB, nodes N2-N4).
- the Macro eNB is connected to nodes N2-N4 through BLs and N2-N4 are also connected to each other through BLs.
- the user equipments UE1-UE4 are served by the Macro eNB and the nodes N2-N4, respectively.
- the distributed scheduling system not only the Macro eNB but also each of the nodes N2-N4 is provided with a distributed scheduler, which is capable of communicating with other distributed schedulers. Each distributed scheduler performs the coordinated scheduling for its serving UE.
- the distributed scheduler at the Macro eNB performs control for CRMS and CMS decision for UE1, RS configuration as well as resource allocation coordinated among the neighbor nodes (here, N3) in the UE1's CMS.
- the distributed scheduler at the node N2 performs control for CRMS and CMS decision for UE2, RS and PQL configuration as well as resource allocation coordinated among the neighbor nodes.
- the coordinated information among the serving node N2 and the point Macro eNB in the UE2's CMS is exchanged over backhaul link.
- a backhaul link can be optical fiber, DSL, X2 backhaul or wireless link, such as LOS or NLOS microwave.
- First Example A first example of the exemplary embodiment is used to suppress interference from a point inside or outside the CMS.
- a system according to the first example is shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
- An operation of the present example is illustrated in Fig. 10.
- a centralized scheduler 100 is located in Macro eNB 10 to control all the LPNs, LPN0-LPNn, which are connected to the Macro eNB 10 through respective backhaul link (BL).
- the centralized scheduler 100 includes a CRMS and CMS decision section 101, a RS configuration section 102, a resource allocation section 103, a PQL configuration section 104, a IS configuration section 105, and a controller 106.
- the CRMS and CMS decision section 101 is in charge of deciding on which point is included in the CRMS and CMS respectively based on the UE reported RSRP.
- the CSI-RS and DM-RS are respectively configured for the channel estimation and data demodulation for each UE in the CoMP cooperating set.
- the resource allocation section 103 is used to allocate each resource block for each point to the UE based on the UEs' CSI feedback.
- the PQL configuration section 104 is used to configure several states for a CoMP candidate UE to correctly implement PDSCH resource element rate matching as well as channel estimation based on quasi-co-location information. All those blocks are connected to the controller 106.
- the configured RS and PQL states as well as the scheduling results are sent from a backhaul TX/RX section 107 of the Macro eNB 10 to the backhaul TX/RX section 201 of each LPN through a corresponding backhaul link.
- data and reference signals are generated by a data and RS generation section 202 and 203, respectively and transmitted from the RF TX/RS section 204 to the UE 30.
- the UE 30 is composed of a RF TX/RX section 301, a channel measurement and feedback controller 302, an advanced receiver 303 which has Interference Suppression (IS) function, and an interfering channel measurement section 304.
- the signal channel matrix between each transmission point and the UE 30 is estimated by the channel measurement and feedback controller 302 based on the RS received at RF TX/RX section 301. While, the interfering channel matrix between the interfering point and the UE 30 is estimated by the interfering channel measurement section 304. Based on the estimated signal and interfering channel matrixes, the data is received by using the estimated channel matrix at the advanced receiver 303 based on minimum mean square error with interference rejection combining (MMSE-IRC).
- MMSE-IRC minimum mean square error with interference rejection combining
- the advanced receiver 303 receives the frequency-domain signal Y at the RF TX/RX section 301 to output the signal data X ⁇ s which is estimated by using the MMSE-IRC weight W s MMSE-IRC according to the following equation (3):
- H ⁇ I is the precoded channel of an interfering point and H ⁇ s is the precoded channel of a signal transmission point.
- H ⁇ I is the precoded channel of an interfering point and H ⁇ s is the precoded channel of a signal transmission point.
- the MMSE-IRC receiver 303 requires the information of reference signal for the interfering point.
- the centralized scheduler 100 only needs to send the dynamic scheduling results of the interfering point over backhaul links to the serving point LPN0 to decide the new DCI signaling for IS.
- the serving point LPN0 should inform the interfering point to trigger or stop the reporting of the dynamic scheduling results for IS.
- the RS generation section 108 generates the cell-specific RS (CRS) and sends it to the target UE 30 through the RF RX/TX section 110.
- the RS generation section 203 generates the cell-specific RS (CRS) and sends it through the RF RX/TX section 204 (Operation S401).
- the channel measurement and feedback controller 302 performs RSRP measurement of CRSs received from different points (the Macro eNB 10 and the LPN0-LPN3) (Operation S402) and reports the estimated [RSRP] of the different points to its serving cell, LPN0, through the RF TX/RX section 301 (Operation S403).
- the feedback [RSRP] is transferred from the serving cell, LPN0, to the centralized scheduler 100 of the Macro eNB 10 (Operation S404).
- the LPN3 receives the feedback [RSRP] from other UEs and transfers them to the centralized scheduler 100 of the Macro eNB 10 (Operation S405).
- the CRMS and CMS decision section 101 decides the UE's CRMS and CMS (Operation S406). Assuming RSRP LPN0 > RSRP LPN1 > RSRP LPN2 > RSRP LPN3 > RSRP Macro and five points with RSRP serv -RSRP point ⁇ TH RSRP are selected into CRMS, maximum 3 points among the five points can be selected into the UE's CMS.
- the target UE 30 has the CMS of LPN0 (serving point), LPN1 and LPN2 with RSRP LPN0 > RSRP LPN1 > RSRP LPN2 .
- the LPN3 and Macro eNB10 belong to the CRMS but outside the CMS with RSRP LPN2 > RSRP LPN3 > RSRP Macro . Therefore, the target UE 30 is regarded as a CoMP candidate UE.
- the multiple NZP-CSI-RSs and ZP-CSI-RSs are configured for the measurement of required CSI processes in the RS configuration section 102.
- the DM-RSs of corresponding points are also configured with two candidate initialization values of the DM-RS scrambling sequence for each point.
- the CSI-RS configuration and DM-RS configuration are sent from the Macro eNB 10 to each point in the target UE's CMS through the backhaul links (Operations S407, S408).
- the CSI-RS configuration and DM-RS configuration for the other UEs are sent from the Macro eNB 10 to the other point in the other UEs' CMS through the backhaul links (Operations S409, S410).
- the PQL configuration section 104 and the IS configuration section 105 of the Macro eNB 10 configure PQL together with IS states (PQL/IS states) and send the PQL/IS configurations to the serving cell, LPN0, through the backhaul TX/RX section 107 (Operation S411). Details of the PQL/IS states and corresponding PQL indicator (PQI), which is used to trigger a PQL/IS state, will be described later.
- the serving point LPN0 is in charge of informing the target UE 30 of the CSI-RS and DM-RS configurations and PQL/IS and PQI configurations over RRC signaling semi-statically (e.g., every 100ms) (Operations S412-S414).
- each LPN in the target UE's CMS generates and sends the NZP-CSI-RS and/or mutes the resources of ZP-CSI-RS to the target UE 30 through the RF RX/TX section 204 periodically (e.g., every 5ms or 10ms).
- the channel measurement and feedback controller 302 of the UE 30 can measure CSIs for signal and interference estimation (Operation S415).
- the short-term channel state information represented by e.g., rank index (RI), precoding matrix index (PMI), channel quality index (CQI), are calculated and reported to its serving point LPN0 over wireless channel, e.g., PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) or PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) (Operation S416).
- RI rank index
- PMI precoding matrix index
- CQI channel quality index
- the reported CSI is transferred from the serving point LPN0 to the Macro eNB 10 over the backhaul link for centralized scheduling (Operation S417).
- the resource allocation section 103 of the centralized scheduler 100 dynamically selects the resource blocks at each point in the CMS and allocates the selected resource blocks to the target UE 30 (Operation S418).
- the dynamic scheduling results including the selected points, the allocated resource blocks, the selected MCS (Modulation and Coding Set), selected initialization value of the DM-RS scrambling sequence, etc., are informed to the LPN0-LPN3 over respective backhaul links (Operations S419, S420).
- the serving cell When receiving the dynamic scheduling results from the Macro eNB 10, the serving cell, LPN0, informs the UE 30 of the corresponding PQL/IS state indicated according to the PQI in the DCI, e.g. DCI format 2D or a new DCI format, over the control channel, e.g., PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) or EPDCCH (enhanced PDCCH) (Operation S421).
- the LPN0 and LPN1 are both selected for synchronized joint transmitting the data of the target UE 30 over PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel).
- PDSCH physical downlink shared channel
- the corresponding PQL/IS states e.g., PQL state 3 and IS state 2
- the corresponding PQL/IS states are indicated simultaneously according to the PQI of '11' in the DCI over the control channel.
- the other scheduling results for target UE 30, e.g., MCS, allocated resource blocks and dynamically selected DM-RS initialization value are also dynamically indicated in the DCI for PDSCH reception.
- the advanced receiver 303 can receive data on PDSCH from JT points, LPN0 and LPN1, according to the PQL state; while suppressing interference from the selected point for IS according to the IS state, LPN2 inside the CMS or LPN3 outside the CMS.
- the interfering channel is estimated by the interfering channel measurement section 304 based on the indicated DM-RS configuration in the IS state (Operation S422). Also, the interfering channel measurement section 304 can further improve the estimation of the un-precoded channel power delay profile from the interfering point by using the CRS and NZP-CSI-RS configuration indicated by the PQL/IS configuration.
- the network-assisted IS is implemented at the receiver side provided with the advanced receiver 303 together with interfering channel measurement section 304.
- each PQL state in Rel.11 includes the information of a selected TP's cell ID, CRS's port number, zero-power CSI-RS for PDSCH rate matching, NZP CSI-RS for quasi-co-location.
- the target UE has a CMS of LPN0 (serving point)
- LPN1 and LPN2 with RSRP LPN0 >RSRP LPN0 >RSRP LPN2
- the available four PQL states and two PQI bits are reused by adding the information for IS.
- the information of the DM-RS is also required besides the CRS and NZP-CSI-RS.
- the PQI conventionally used for indicating the selected TP, is newly defined as Table II of Fig. 11(B) to simultaneously indicate a PQL state for the dynamically selected point and a IS state for the dynamically selected interfering point, where the non-selected point with strongest RSRP among the non-selected TPs inside the CMS is chosen as the point for IS at the advanced receiver 303.
- the newly defined PQL/IS states as well as the newly defined PQI table are firstly transferred from Macro eNB 10 to the serving point LPN0 through the backhaul link and then sent from the LPN0 to the target UE 30 over RRC signaling semi-statically (e.g., every 100ms) in PDSCH.
- the interfering channel measurement section 304 of the UE 30 can use the newly defined PQL/IS sate to estimate the un-precoded channel from the interfering point by using the CRS and NZP-CSI-RS configuration and also to estimate the precoded channel from the interfering point by using the DM-RS configuration.
- the initialization value of DM-RS scrambling sequence can be dynamically selected for different interfering UE on different resource block group (RBG) allocated for the target UE 30. Therefore, a new bit of DM-RS indicator per RBG in Table III as shown in Fig. 12(A) may be needed in the DCI to indicate the dynamically selected initialization value of DM-RS scrambling sequence for different interfering UE. Since the default value of DM-RS scrambling sequence is the cell ID, which is used by most UEs with SU-MIMO or UEs without CoMP, the DM-RS indicator bit is not needed for suppressing or cancelling the interference from such UEs. For further overhead reduction, it is possible that the DM-RS indicator per RBG is not added in the DCI.

Description
Type_1: A point in the CMS, which is not selected as a TP or a CS/CB point, may dynamically result in strong interference to a CoMP UE, e.g.,
Type_2: A point outside the CMS, which has high RSRP, may dynamically result in strong interference to a CoMP UE, e.g.,
According to the present invention, a user equipment in a network including multiple points wherein the user equipment is capable of communicating with the multiple points, includes: a radio transceiver for communicating with at least one of the multiple points; and a receiver for receiving data from the network with suppressing or canceling interference from an interfering point based on information related to the interfering point, wherein the interfering point is a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme.
According to the present invention, a scheduler in a radio communication system comprising a network including multiple points which is capable of communicating with a user equipment, includes: an interference information configuring section for configuring information related to an interfering point which is a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme; and a communication section for sending the information related to the interfering point to the user equipment for interference suppression or cancelation at the user equipment.
According to the present invention, a communication control method in a radio communication system comprising a network including multiple points which is capable of communicating with a user equipment, includes the steps of: selecting an interfering point as a candidate for a coordinated multi-point measurement set of the user equipment but not selected for any coordinated multi-point scheme; and signaling from the network to the user equipment information related to the interfering point for interference suppression or cancelation at the user equipment.
Assuming the case of a network composed of a plurality of transmission points where interferences from some transmission points occur at a user equipment (UE) as shown in Fig. 4, network-assisted interference suppression/cancelation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described by referring to Fig. 5.
Referring to Fig. 6, it is assumed for simplicity that the centralized scheduling system includes a predetermined radio node (Macro eNB) and multiple radio nodes (N2-N4). Here, the Macro eNB is connected to nodes N2-N4 through backhaul links (BLs) respectively and user equipments UE1-UE4 are served by the Macro eNB and the nodes N2-N4, respectively. The Macro eNB plus nodes N2-N4 are regarded as a CoMP cooperating set. The Macro eNB is provided with a centralized scheduler, which performs the CRMS and CMS decision, reference signal (RS) and PQL configuration as well as coordinated resource allocation for all UEs in the CoMP cooperating set. The details of the coordinated scheduling in the centralized scheduling system will be described later.
Referring to Fig. 7, it is also assumed for simplicity that the distributed scheduling system includes multiple radio nodes (Macro eNB, nodes N2-N4). Here, the Macro eNB is connected to nodes N2-N4 through BLs and N2-N4 are also connected to each other through BLs. The user equipments UE1-UE4 are served by the Macro eNB and the nodes N2-N4, respectively. In the distributed scheduling system, not only the Macro eNB but also each of the nodes N2-N4 is provided with a distributed scheduler, which is capable of communicating with other distributed schedulers. Each distributed scheduler performs the coordinated scheduling for its serving UE. For instance, the distributed scheduler at the Macro eNB performs control for CRMS and CMS decision for UE1, RS configuration as well as resource allocation coordinated among the neighbor nodes (here, N3) in the UE1's CMS. Similarly, the distributed scheduler at the node N2 performs control for CRMS and CMS decision for UE2, RS and PQL configuration as well as resource allocation coordinated among the neighbor nodes. The coordinated information among the serving node N2 and the point Macro eNB in the UE2's CMS is exchanged over backhaul link. A backhaul link can be optical fiber, DSL, X2 backhaul or wireless link, such as LOS or NLOS microwave.
A first example of the exemplary embodiment is used to suppress interference from a point inside or outside the CMS. A system according to the first example is shown in Figs. 8 and 9. An operation of the present example is illustrated in Fig. 10.
As illustrated in Fig. 8, a
Referring to Fig. 10, at the
As described above, for correct channel estimation and reception of the CoMP candidate UE's PDSCH data, several states are configured at the
Based on the ranking of RSRP, the point with highest RSRP outside the CMS is semi-statically selected for IS, e.g., LPN3 as illustrated in Fig. 10. For such a point, the new RRC signaling is needed to indicate the information of LPN3, including the configuration of CRS, NZP-CSI-RS, and DM-RS, etc.. As described before, the interfering
A second example of the exemplary embodiment is used to cancel interference from a point inside or outside the CMS. A system according to the second example is shown in Figs. 13 and 14. An operation of the present example is illustrated in Fig. 10.
Referring to Fig. 13, the system structure of the second example is basically identical to that of the first example as shown in Fig. 8 except that the
The operation of the second example has the same sequence as the first example as shown in Fig. 10 except that IS is replaced with IC in the operations S411, S414 and S422. Accordingly, hereinafter, based on the system shown in Fig. 13, how to configure and signaling the information for the network-assisted IC of interference inside or outside the CMS are illustrated by referring to Figs. 10, 13 and 15.
Besides the estimation of the interfering channel by using the IS information described in 1.3) of the first example, the replica generation of the interfering data is required for further canceling the interference data of LPN2 inside the CMS. Therefore, besides the above signaling of the first example, new DCI bits to indicate the dynamic modulation and coding scheme are required for different interfering UE allocated on the same RBG. For example, two DCI bits of Modulation indicator per RBG are illustrated in Table V as shown in Fig. 15. In the presence of the modulation scheme, the received interfering can be demodulated and the replica of the modulated interfering data can be generated.
Besides the estimation of the interfering channel by using the IS information described above, the replica generation of the interfering data is required for further canceling the interference data of LPN3. Therefore, besides the above RRC and DCI signaling described in 2.3), new DCI bits to indicate the dynamic modulation and coding scheme are required for different interfering UE allocated on the same RBG. For example, two DCI bits of Modulation indicator per RBG are illustrated in Table V as shown in Fig. 15. In the presence of the modulation scheme, the received interfering can be demodulated and the replica of the modulated interfering data can be generated.
