Abstract
A communication terminal includes a Radio Frequency (RF) unit and a baseband processor. The baseband processor is coupled to receive from the a servicing base station (BS) information indicating an extent of synchronization between the servicing BS and at least one other BS of the wireless communication network, and to process received signals, responsively to the extent of the synchronization specified in the received information, so as to cancel interference caused to the signals received from the servicing BS by signals transmitted by the at least one other BS.
