FIELD: communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mobile communication. User equipment (UE) located in an extended-range area of a neighbor base station cell in a communication network, such as a low-power cell in a heterogeneous network, can inform its serving base station, such as a macro cell overlying the low-power cell, of the UE's capability of canceling interference from other cells' transmissions. Information enables the serving cell to decide based on more information whether range extension of the neighbor cell is beneficial for a number of UEs.
EFFECT: technical result consists in efficient radio resource utilization.
