Methods, devices and computer program products for improvements in interference cancellation scenarios

Abstract

The present invention proposes, under a terminal device aspect, a device, comprising a control module, a memory module, and a transceiver module, wherein the control module is configured to report a candidate transceiver device for use after a handover via the transceiver module, and receive a handover instruction via the transceiver module, the handover instruction comprising at least an indication that information is to be stored in the memory module for use in a processing to be applied after handover. Also, under a net-work transceiver device aspect, there is proposed a device, comprising a control module, a memory module, and a transceiver module, wherein the control module is configured to receive a report indicative of a candidate transceiver device for use after a handover via the transceiver module, and upon processing the report, to issue a handover instruction via the transceiver module, the handover instruction comprising at least an indication that information is to be stored in a memory module of a terminal device, for use in a processing to be applied after handover. Likewise, the present invention encompasses corresponding methods and respective computer program products. Further, network transceiver device aspects related to such device to which handover is performed are encompassed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improved methods, devices and computer program products in interference cancellation scenarios. In particular, the present invention relates to such a method, device, and computer program product applicable to a mobile communication system operating in a cellular network environment where inter-cell interference may occur. Background technique [0002] Mobile data transmission and data services are constantly advancing. With the increasing penetration of these services, terminal equipment such as user equipment UE (or mobile station MS, etc.; corresponding to different standards may use different names) can communicate within the cellular network environment. For example a terminal equipment UE communicates within a cellular network environment, where it is deployed or "resides" based on the available system configuration, which is typically served by a serving network transceiver station (e.g. base station BS or NodeB...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, there is a problem with including this information in the HO command, which is that this command is usually sent at the cell edge

However, the probability of unsuccessful reception on the UE side is slightly higher at the cell edge (i.e. the border of neighboring cells) (e.g. because of lower signal strength of the serving eNB at the edge and / or because of increased interference from potential target eNBs)
