Interference cancellation

A method of enabling a receiving operation, the method comprising:

• generating downlink control information that provides a user equipment with information for reception and decoding of data transmitted from a network node to the user equipment in a mobile communication network;
• including, into a field of the downlink control information, an indication of receiver information applicable for interference suppression and/or cancellation by a receiving operation of the user equipment, capable of performing interference suppression and/or cancellation using the receiver information;
• and
• providing the downlink control information including the indication to the user equipment.

An apparatus for enabling a receiving operation in a user equipment, the apparatus comprising a processing system configured to cause the apparatus at least to:

• process downlink control information that provides the user equipment with information for reception and decoding of data transmitted from a network node to the user equipment in a mobile communication network;
• detect, from the downlink control information, receiver information applicable for interference suppression and/or cancellation;
• select a receiving operation capable of performing interference suppression and/or cancellation using the receiver information;
• and
• process the data transmitted from the network node by utilizing the selected receiving operation.
