Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing cross-cell signaling and/or coordination for interference mitigation in wireless communication networks are described. In one aspect, a UE associated with a serving eNB may receive control signaling from another non-serving eNB in a different cell. The control signaling may be consistent with a characteristic of the serving eNB and associated cell. In another aspect, multiple eNBs may coordinate transmission of DL resources to minimize collisions of control signaling resources.
