Abstract
A method of operating a UE includes obtaining an interference measurement (IM) resource, performing an interference measurement using the IM resource, obtaining a time reference associated with the interference measurement, determining that the interference measurement represents a non-typical level of interference, and transmitting an indicator indicating the time reference to a network node. Related nodes, devices and computer program products are disclosed.

A method of operating a UE comprising:
- obtaining an interference measurement (IM) resource;
- performing an interference measurement using the IM resource;
- obtaining a time reference associated with the interference measurement;
- determining that the interference measurement represents a non-typical level of interference;
- and
- transmitting an indicator indicating the time reference to a network node.
A UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- at least one processor coupled to the transceiver;
- and
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing program code that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining an interference measurement (IM) resource;
- performing an interference measurement using the IM resource;
- obtaining a time reference associated with the interference measurement;
- determining that the interference measurement represents a non-typical level of interference;
- and
- transmitting an indicator indicating the time reference to a network node.
A method of operating a network node of a cellular radio access network, RAN, the method comprising:
- receiving a notification of non-typical interference experienced by a user equipment (UE);
- determining a time reference associated with the non-typical interference;
- and
- coordinating with an adjacent network node to reduce a level of the non-typical interference.
A network node comprising:
- a transceiver;
- at least one processor coupled to the transceiver;
- and
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing program code that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a notification of non-typical interference experienced by a user equipment (UE);
- determining a time reference associated with the non-typical interference;
- and
- coordinating with an adjacent network node to reduce a level of the non-typical interference.
