1. A wireless communication terminal comprising;
- a transceiver coupled to a processor; and
the processor, the processor configured to determine that a subset of a plurality of resource elements (“
REs”
) must be excluded from demodulation, the plurality of REs received in a signal from a first base station, the processor configured to estimate a hypothetical block error rate (“
BLER”
) based on the signal received from the first base station by excluding the subset of the plurality of REs, and the processor configured to estimate channel state information based on the hypothetical BLER;
wherein the subset of the plurality of REs corresponds to a signal transmitted from a second base station; and
wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the subset of the plurality of REs must be excluded based on at least one of;
an indication from the first base station and determining that a signal power from the second base station exceeds a threshold.

Abstract
A wireless communication terminal is disclose. The terminal includes a transceiver coupled to a processor configured to determine that a subset of a plurality of REs must be excluded from demodulation, the plurality of resource elements (REs) received in a signal from a first base station, to estimate a hypothetical block error rate (BLER) based on the signal received from the first base station by excluding the subset of the plurality of Res, and to estimate channel state information based on the hypothetical block error rate (BLER).
