Abstract

A communication method and an apparatus for transferring interference-related control information in order to enhance reception performance of a user terminal that receives downlink signals in a cellular mobile communication system based on a long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) system are provided. The method includes receiving transmission parameters of interference, which include information on a resource by which interference data is not transmitted, performing blind detection using the information on a resource by which interference data is not transmitted, performing error correction encoding using the transmission parameters of the interference and the blind detection result, and decoding the received data.

Claims (43)

1. A communication method of a user terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from a serving base station, at least one first interference parameters associated with a neighbor base station;

receiving, from the serving base station, information on a candidate group of available values for at least one second interference parameters associated with the neighbor base station;

performing blind detection of the at least one second interference parameters based on the information on the candidate group;

receiving, from the serving base station, downlink data; and

decoding the downlink data based on the at least one first interference parameters and the at least one second interference parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decoding of the downlink data comprises performing error correction encoding based on the at least one first interference parameters and the at least one second interference parameters.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first interference parameters include at least one of a cell identifier of the neighbor cell, a number of cell specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports of the neighbor cell and multicast/broadcast over single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe information on the neighbor cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second interference parameters include a transmission mode of the neighbor cell.

6. A communication method of a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user terminal, at least one first interference parameters associated with a neighbor base station;

transmitting, to the user terminal, information on a candidate group of available values for at least one second interference parameters associated with the neighbor base station; and

transmitting, to the user terminal, downlink data,

wherein the at least one second interference parameters are detected by the user terminal among the available values using blind detection, and

wherein the downlink data is decoded by the user terminal based on the at least one first interference parameters and the at least one second interference parameters.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one first interference parameters include at least one of a cell identifier of the neighbor cell, a number of cell specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports of the neighbor cell and multicast/broadcast over single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe information on the neighbor cell.
