A method and apparatus for reducing interference caused by an interfering signal are disclosed for use in an access node, such as a base station, communicating with at least one mobile terminal in a wireless network, the method comprising the following steps: receiving information related to at least one data packet that is to be transmitted by a second access node to at least a second mobile terminal, receiving time-frequency information about the point in time when the at least one data packet will be transmitted from the second access node to the second mobile terminal, estimating the interfering signal based on the at least one data packet, cancelling interference based on the estimated interference signal at the point in time. This facilitates interference cancellation, especially in a network using distributed RRM.
