A method of managing uplink interference at a base station includes: detecting uplink interference caused by one or more inter-cell user equipments to an uplink channel of a base station, the one or more inter-cell user equipments associated with a neighboring base station; receiving, at the base station, assistance information from the neighboring base station, the assistance information comprising a parameter list of ongoing transmissions by the one or more user equipments associated with the neighboring base station; and performing uplink interference cancellation, at the base station, on at least a portion of a received signal based on the assistance information to generate a resulting signal.

A method for a receiver to cancel or suppress co-channel interference with network assistance is provided. The method comprises deriving a first set of parameters related to interfering signals in a mobile communication network; receiving a second set of parameters related to the interfering signals from the network; and cancelling the contribution of interfering signals from the received signal based on the combination of the first set and second set of parameters. In one embodiment, scrambling rules and resource block allocation information are signaled to the victim UE to facilitate Codeword-Level Interference Cancellation (CWIC). While the scrambling rule for control channel is based on UE-specific identity, the scrambling rule for data channel is based on cell-specific identity or other network-configurable identity to facilitate CWIC. In addition, RA-allocation information are signaled to the victim UE in an efficient way.

A signal processing method and apparatus are disclosed. The signal processing method includes: receiving, by a first signal processing apparatus, a mixed signal; acquiring, by the first signal processing apparatus, an energy strength ratio of the mixed signal, where the energy strength ratio includes a ratio of energy strength of a signal sent by a first signal source and received by the first signal processing apparatus to energy strength of a signal sent by a second signal source and received by the first signal processing apparatus; and if the energy strength ratio is less than a first preset threshold, using, by the first signal processing apparatus, the signal sent by the second signal source in the mixed signal as an interference signal and separating the interference signal, and determining that a mixed signal obtained after the separation processing is the desired signal sent by the first signal source.

Interference may be detected in a cellular network by receiving signals at a target base station in a quiet resource block in which no uplink transmissions to the target base station are scheduled to occur, identifying a plurality of user equipment attached to base stations neighboring a target base station as interfering user equipment, reconstructing signals transmitted by the interfering user equipment, removing the reconstructed signals from the signals received by the target base station in the quiet resource block, and determining interference in the signals from which the reconstructed signals are removed. Detected interference data can be used to create an interference cancelling receiver.

Noise and interference may be estimated at a user equipment (UE) in a system that may support transmissions having different transmission time intervals (TTIs). The UE may perform a channel estimation for a first set of transmissions having a first TTI based at least in part on an estimated interference from a second set of transmissions having a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI. The UE may perform channel estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of the first set of transmissions. The first set of transmissions may then be demodulated based at least in part on the channel estimation for the first set of transmissions. Noise and interference may also be estimated based on one or more null tones within one or more OFDM symbols of the allocated resources.

In an embodiment, a base station (BS) receives one or more first data transmitting from at least one of one or more transmitting user equipments (UEs). The BS transmits a message including assistance parameters for performing a full-duplex data transmission, to at least one of one or more receiving UEs, wherein the parameters are associated with information of reducing an interference from the at least one of the transmitting UEs. And, the BS transmits one or more second data including the one or more first data to the at least one of the receiving UEs. Wherein, the receiving UEs and the transmitting UEs respectively include at least one of: one or more half-duplex UEs, one or more full-duplex UEs, or any combination of two or more of the half-duplex UEs and the full-duplex UEs.

A mobile station 200A includes a target user control signal detector 230 and an interfering user control signal detector 240 which are configured to receive a control signal to be used to cancel a non-orthogonal signal by interference canceller. The control signal includes control information containing a radio resource block allocated to the non-orthogonal signal addressed to another mobile station. The mobile station 200A demodulates and cancels the radio signal addressed to the other mobile station on the basis of the control signal.

In an exemplary method, a base station assigns, from a first codebook of N short code sequences of length K, a subset of the short code sequences to a number of user equipments (UEs); receives a signal including uplink data or control signals from two or more of the UEs, wherein a first uplink data or control signal is sent using a first subsequence of one of the assigned short code sequences, and a second uplink data or control signal is sent using a second subsequence of one of the assigned short code sequences or using one of the assigned short code sequences; and decodes each uplink data or control signal in the signal based on the assigned short code sequences and subsequences of the assigned the short code sequences.
