Abstract
A method includes operating a network access node to determine, in cooperation with at least one other network access node, a coordinated scheduling granularity having a plurality of physical resource blocks; and signaling an indication of the determined coordinated scheduling granularity to at least one mobile device served by the network access node for use in enhancing estimation at a receiver of the mobile device, such as when estimating an interference covariance matrix. Apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed, as are mobile device methods and apparatus for receiving and using the signaling.
