Abstract

A terminal device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a reception module that receives a control channel and a spatially multiplexed data signal channel, a control signal detection module that extracts, from an output from the reception module, a demodulation control information which is a transmission parameter of a signal that is transmitted to the terminal device, in a data signal channel that is output from the reception module, and assistance control information which is a transmission parameter of a signal that is transmitted to a different terminal device, in the data signal channel that is output from the reception module, a channel estimator that obtains a channel estimate by using a reference signal, a signal detection module that demultiplexes the data signal channel by using the demodulation control information, the assistance control information, and the channel estimate, and a decoding module that decodes a signal that is output by the signal detection module, in which information indicating a rank is included in the assistance control information.

Claims (35)

1. A base station apparatus, comprising:

reception circuitry; and

transmission circuitry that transmit, to a terminal apparatus, assistance information by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a first cell; wherein

the assistance information is using to suppress an interference from a second cell;

the second cell is a neighbor cell of the first cell; and

the assistance information includes at least a cell ID of the second cell, information regarding a power ratio between a reference signal and a data signal channel in the second cell, and information regarding a transmission mode in the second cell.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a power ratio between a first data signal channel and a second data signal channel in the second cell.

3. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the assistance information includes information that the base station apparatus received from another base station apparatus.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the reception circuitry receives User Equipment (UE) capability information from the terminal apparatus; and

the UE capability information includes information that the terminal apparatus has a capability to cancel or suppress an interference.

5. A terminal apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry; and

reception circuitry that receives, from a base station apparatus, assistance information by using a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) in a first cell; wherein

the assistance information is used to suppress an interference from a second cell;

the second cell is a neighbor cell of the first cell; and

the assistance information includes at least a cell ID of the second cell, information regarding a power ratio between a reference signal and a data signal channel in the second cell, and information regarding a transmission mode in the second cell.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a power ratio between a first data signal channel and a second data signal channel in the second cell.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the assistance information includes information that the base station apparatus received from another base station apparatus.

8. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the transmission circuitry transmits User Equipment (UE) capability information to the base station apparatus; and

the UE capability information includes information that the terminal apparatus has a capability to cancel or suppress an interference.

9. A method performed by a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station apparatus, assistance information by using a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) in a first cell; wherein

the assistance information is capable of being used to suppress an interference from a second cell;

the second cell is a neighbor cell of the first cell; and

the assistance information includes at least a cell ID of the second cell, information regarding a power ratio between a reference signal and a data signal channel in the second cell, and information regarding a transmission mode in the second cell.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a power ratio between a first data signal channel and a second data signal channel in the second cell.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the assistance information includes information that the base station apparatus received from another base station apparatus.

12. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting User Equipment (UE) capability information to the base station apparatus before receiving the assistance information from the base station apparatus; wherein

the UE capability information includes information that the terminal apparatus has a capability to cancel or suppress an interference.

13. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a duplex scheme.

14. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a duplex scheme.

15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the assistance information further includes information regarding a duplex scheme.
