  • Publication number: 20140187255
    Abstract: Devices and methods for reducing interference in a communication network including a first node and a first node coverage area, a second closed subscriber group (CSG) node located within the first node coverage area, and one or more user equipment (UE) devices located within the first node coverage area are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving link quality measurement information from the one or more UE devices and determining if a link quality value for a UE device is below a predetermined link quality threshold value and is caused by the second CSG node. If both conditions are true, if the UE device is a member of the second CSG node, and if the first UE device does not include interference cancellation capability, the method further includes instructing the second CSG node to mute transmission causing interference for the UE device.
