Dci for inter-cell interference measurements

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a first base station, a list of scrambling identifiers (IDs) associated with a plurality of neighboring base stations;
• receiving, from the first base station, at least one of:
• an indication of at least one scrambling ID of the list of scrambling IDs for an inter-cell interference measurement of at least one neighboring base station of the plurality of neighboring base stations or an indication of one or more time and frequency resources of the at least one neighboring base station for the inter-cell interference measurement;
• measuring an inter-cell interference associated with the one or more time and frequency resources of the at least one neighboring base station;
• and
• transmitting, to the first base station, a report of the inter-cell interference measurement of the at least one neighboring base station.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• transmit, to at least one UE, a list of scrambling identifiers (IDs) associated with a plurality of neighboring base stations;
• transmit, to the at least one UE, at least one of:
• an indication of at least one scrambling ID of the list of scrambling IDs for an inter-cell interference measurement of at least one neighboring base station of the plurality of neighboring base stations or an indication of one or more time and frequency resources of the at least one neighboring base station for the inter-cell interference measurement;
• and
• receive, from the at least one UE, a report of the inter-cell interference measurement of the at least one neighboring base station.
