Methods of Interference Measurement for Advanced Receiver in LTE/LTE-A

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a processor configured such that the UE receives a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) on a first DMRS port transmitted from a first cell, further configured such that the UE receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) on the first DMRS port, and further configured such that the UE receives information indicating that the first DMRS port is used to transmit the PDSCH, and information about a second DMRS port that is not used to transmit the PDSCH but is used to transmit a second DMRS, wherein the first DMRS and the second DMRS are orthogonal to one another, and wherein the UE identifies itself as capable of performing interference mitigation.
