Abstract

A system and method for characterizing an interference demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a piece of user equipment (UE), e.g., a mobile device. The UE determines whether the serving signal is transmitted in a DMRS-based transmission mode; if it is, the UE cancels the serving DMRS from the received signal; otherwise the UE cancels the serving data signal from the received signal. The remaining signal is then analyzed for the amount of power it has in each of four interference DMRS candidates, and hypothesis testing is performed to determine whether interference DMRS is present in the signal, and, if so, to determine the rank of the interference DMRS, and the port and scrambling identity of each of the interference DMRS layers.
