Device and Method for Controlling Interference

A method in a transceiver for enabling control of interference cancelling in the transceiver, the transceiver being in a first decoding mode, wherein the first decoding mode is a non-interference cancelling decoding mode, the method comprising:

• storing a received signal comprising a data block;
• decoding the received signal using the first decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block;
• when an event is triggered, retrieving the stored signal, the event being associated with at least one of:
• a block error rate;
• a number of corrected decoded signals;
• a code rate;
• a transport block size;
• a signal to interference and noise ratio;
• a change of a serving cell,
• a location of the transceiver in a cell;
• decoding the retrieved stored signal using a second decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block, wherein the second decoding mode is an interference decoding mode;
• controlling the interference cancelling in the transceiver, based on the data block decoded using the first decoding mode and the data block decoded using the second decoding mode;
• wherein the controlling the interference cancelling in the transceiver comprises determining whether the transceiver remains in the first decoding mode or changes to the second decoding mode.

A transceiver configured to enable control of interference cancelling in the transceiver, the transceiver being in a first decoding mode, wherein the first decoding mode is a non-interference cancelling decoding mode, the transceiver comprising:

• memory configured to store a received signal comprising a data block;
• one or more processing circuits configured to function as:
• a decoding unit configured to decode the received signal using the first decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block;
• a retrieving unit configured to, when an event is triggered, retrieve the stored signal, the being associated with at least one of:
• a block error rate;
• a number of corrected decoded signals;
• a code rate;
• a transport block size;
• a signal to interference and noise ratio;
• a change of a serving cell,
• a location of the transceiver in a cell;
• wherein the decoding unit is further configured to decode the retrieved signal using a second decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block;
• a controlling unit configured to:
• control the interference cancelling in the transceiver, based on the data block decoded using the first decoding mode and the data block decoded using the second decoding mode;
• determine that the transceiver remains in the first decoding mode or changes to the second decoding mode.
