Network information for assisting user equipment

An apparatus for wireless communication;

• comprising:
• means for receiving, from a serving base station, information comprising transmission characteristics of a signal transmitted from at least one non-serving base station, the transmission characteristics comprising a transmission mode and a traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) variation of the at least one non-serving base station;
• and
• means for performing at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation;
• or providing an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) using the received transmission mode and the TPR variation of the at least one non-serving base station.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, from a serving base station, information comprising transmission characteristics of a signal transmitted from at least one non-serving base station, the transmission characteristics comprising a transmission mode and a traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) variation of the at least one non-serving base station;
• and
• perform at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation, or providing an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) using the received transmission mode and the TPR variation of the at least one non-serving base station.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, comprising code to:

• receive, from a serving base station, information comprising transmission characteristics of a signal transmitted from at least one non-serving base station;
• the transmission characteristics comprising a transmission mode and a traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) variation of the at least one non-serving base station;
• and
• perform at least one of interference cancellation, demodulation, or providing an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) using the received transmission mode and the TPR variation of the at least one non-serving base station.
