Abstract

A method for receiving information for interference cancellation of a mobile station (MS) is disclosed. The method is performed by the MS and includes receiving a restricted virtual radio network temporary identifier (V-RNTI) set including a plurality of V-RNTIs for interference signal cancellation from a serving base station (BS), wherein each of the plurality of V-RNTIs is associated with one or more RNTIs of one or more MSs served by a neighboring cell (hereinafter, “neighboring MS”), and receiving downlink control channel including a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit scrambled by at least one V-RNTI of the restricted V-RNTI set, for the neighboring MS, using the at least one V-RNTI, wherein, if two or more neighboring MSs having RNTIs associated with a specific V-RNTI among the plurality of V-RNTIs are scheduled at the same time, the specific V-RNTI is used only for downlink control channel for one of the two or more neighboring MSs.

Claims (32)

1. A method for receiving information for interference cancellation of a mobile station (MS), the method being performed by the MS and comprising:

receiving a restricted virtual radio network temporary identifier (V-RNTI) set including a plurality of V-RNTIs for interference signal cancellation from a serving base station (BS), wherein each of the plurality of V-RNTIs is associated with one or more MSs served by a neighboring BS (hereinafter, “neighboring MSs”); and

receiving, from the neighboring BS, a first downlink control channel for a first neighboring MS and a second downlink control channel for a second neighboring MS in a subframe,

wherein, if the first and second neighboring MSs are associated with a specific V-RNTI among the plurality of V-RNTIs, only the first downlink control channel includes a single cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit scrambled by the specific V-RNTI.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if the first and second neighboring MSs are associated with the specific V-RNTI, the second downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by a RNTI of the second neighboring MS.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the restricted V-RNTI set is received through semi-static signaling.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if the first neighboring MS is associated with a first V-RNTI and the second neighboring MS is associated with a second V-RNTI, the first V-RNTI and the second V-RNTI being included in the plurality of V-RNTIs, the first downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by the first V-RNTI and the second downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by the second V-RNTI.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the restricted V-RNTI set is BS-specific.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of V-RNTIs of the restricted V-RNTI set are configured such that a bit string representing one of the plurality of V-RNTIs has more than K different-value bits to be compared with other bit strings representing other V-RNTIs, where K is one or more integer.

7. A method for transmitting information for interference cancellation of a mobile station (MS), the method being performed by a base station (BS) and comprising:

configuring a restricted virtual radio network temporary identifier (V-RNTI) set including a plurality of V-RNTIs for interference signal cancellation, wherein each of the plurality of V-RNTIs is associated with one or more serving MSs;

transmitting the restricted V-RNTI set to a neighboring BS for transmission to a MS served by the neighboring BS; and

transmitting a first downlink control channel for a first serving MS and a second downlink control channel for a second serving MS in a subframe,

wherein, if the first and second serving MSs are associated with a specific V-RNTI among the plurality of V-RNTIs only the first downlink control channel includes a single cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit scrambled by the specific V-RNTI.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the restricted V-RNTI set is BS-specific.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of V-RNTIs of the restricted V-RNTI set are configured such that a bit string representing one of the plurality of V-RNTIs has more than K different-value bits to be compared with other bit strings representing other V-RNTIs, where K is one or more integer.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, if the first and second serving MSs are associated with the specific V-RNTI, the second downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by a RNTI of the second serving MS.

11. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising indicating blind decoding based on the specific V-RNTI or blind decoding based on a preconfigured cell (C)-RNTI of the serving MS to the serving MS.

12. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, if the first serving MS is associated with a first V-RNTI and the second serving MS is associated with a second V-RNTI, the first V-RNTI and the second V-RNTI being included in the plurality of V-RNTIs, the first downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by the first V-RNTI and the second downlink control channel includes a single CRC bit scrambled by the second V-RNTI.

13. A mobile station (MS) for receiving information for interference cancellation, the MS comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a restricted virtual radio network temporary identifier (V-RNTI) set including a plurality of V-RNTIs for interference signal cancellation from a serving base station (BS), wherein each of the plurality of V-RNTIs is associated with one or more MSs served by a neighboring BS (hereinafter, “neighboring MSs”), and receive, from the neighboring BS, a first downlink control channel for a first neighboring MS and a second downlink control channel for a second neighboring MS in a subframe, and

wherein, if the first and second neighboring MSs are associated with a specific V-RNTI among the plurality of V-RNTIs, only the first downlink control channel includes a single cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit scrambled by the specific V-RNTI.

14. A base station (BS) for transmitting information for interference cancellation, the BS comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

configure a restricted virtual radio network temporary identifier (V-RNTI) set including a plurality of V-RNTIs for interference signal cancellation, wherein each of the plurality of V-RNTIs is associated with one or more serving mobile stations (MSs), transmit the restricted V-RNTI set to a neighboring BS for transmission to a MS served by the neighboring BS, and transmit a first downlink control channel for a first serving MS and a second downlink control channel for a second serving MS in a subframe, and

wherein, if the first and second serving MSs are associated with a specific V-RNTI among the plurality of V-RNTIs only the first downlink control channel includes a single cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit scrambled by the specific V-RNTI.
