Abstract
A method for determining channel quality estimates of two or more types of subframes, such as clean and unclean subframes, may be applicable to both legacy and newer user equipment. A first base station affects a channel quality measurement by either transmitting dummy signals over designed tones that correspond to a second base station, or by puncturing transmissions during designated tones that correspond to the second base station.
