Short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining at least one specific resource on which to reduce interference from among a plurality of resources available for use;
sending a message to trigger a first terminal to request at least one interfering base station to reduce interference on the at least one specific resource;
sending a first data transmission on the at least one specific resource to the first terminal; and
sending a second data transmission on at least one other resource to a second terminal, without requesting interference reduction from the at least one interfering base station on the at least one other resource.

Abstract
Techniques for transmitting data with short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a serving base station may send a message to a terminal to trigger short-term interference mitigation. In response, the terminal may send a message to request at least one interfering base station to reduce interference on at least one resource. Each interfering base station may determine a transmit power level to be used for the at least one resource and may send a pilot at this transmit power level. The terminal may estimate the channel quality of the at least one resource based on at least one pilot received from the at least one interfering base station. The terminal may send information indicative of the estimated channel quality to the serving base station. The serving base station may send a data transmission on the at least one resource to the terminal.
