Abstract
A method and apparatus for fast interference signaling is provided. The method may include configuring, by an evolved node B (eNB), at least one user equipment to indicate to the eNB when an activity state of at least one interferer changes. Based on the indicated activity state, the eNB can schedule the at least one user equipment in muted subframes of the interferer or almost blank subframes (ABS).
