Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining an interference transmission mode (TM) at a communication device in a cellular communication system using a resource element (RE) defined by frequency and time. A first signal is received in one RE. The first signal comprises a serving signal and an interference signal.

A TM of the interference signal is detected by determining a TF of the interference signal which minimizes the TPR decision metric from among predetermined transmit format (TF) candidates.
