Method and apparatus for mitigating downlink control channel interference

A method in a wireless terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving a first indication from a serving base station, the first indication including information relating to transmission power on resource elements transmitted on orthogonal frequency division multiplexed symbols bearing cell-specific reference signal;
• receiving a second indication from the serving base station, the second indication including information relating to the transmission power on resource elements transmitted on orthogonal frequency division multiplexed symbols not bearing a cell-specific reference signal;
• receiving a third indication from the serving base station, the third indication including information relating to transmission power on resources on orthogonal frequency division multiplexed symbols corresponding to a certain set of resource blocks;
• receiving coded data transmissions from the serving base station;
• and
• decoding the coded data transmissions based on the indications.
