Neat Cell - CRS Puncturing
Descriptions
 Neat Cell is a solution to decrease the interference，
in the first stage the CRS Puncturing feature is t
Cell A t Cell A
introduced.
 The principle of CRS Puncturing is that the eNB

decrease the CRS sending in some specific scenarios,
and meantime cannot affect the measurement, channel
estimation and data demodulation.
 This feature is controlled by eNB, and don't need the
UE to change. Cell B t
