Abstract
A method in a wireless terminal transceiver includes receiving a sequence of frames from a first base station, wherein each frame in the sequence contains a first set of time-frequency resources which may be used for scheduling data and a second set of time-frequency resources not used for scheduling data. The transceiver also receives a message from the first base station identifying a third set of time-frequency resources that is a subset of the first set of time-frequency resources, and estimates the channel state based on the transmission received in the third set of time-frequency resources.

-30. (canceled)
A method in a wireless communication entity, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the entity, an identifier of a first base station;
- determining a first set of time frequency resources as a function of the identifier of the first base station, wherein a neighbor base station of the first base station transmits or receives on a second set of time frequency resources, the second set of time frequency resources based on the neighbor cell's identifier;
- and
- transmitting or receiving on time frequency resources that do not overlap the first set of time frequency resources determined based on the identifier of first the base station.
