Methods, devices, and computer program products for conveying scheduling information for aiding interference cancellation in a code multiplexed wireless communication system are provided. The method for aiding interference cancellation in a first mobile device is performed by a first node, that causes the interference to the first mobile device communicating with a second node, by communicating with a plurality of mobile devices in a cell in a heterogeneous communication network. The method includes determining whether to use code multiplexing for communicating with the plurality of mobile devices. When code multiplexing is used, then the method further includes computing a geometry for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices scheduled for communication with the first node, determining a scheduled mobile device, out of the plurality of mobile devices, having the lowest geometry, and transmitting a first message to the first mobile device, wherein the first message includes scheduling information for the scheduled mobile device determined to have the lowest geometry.
