Multiple active-coordination-set aggregation for mobility management

A base station apparatus comprising:

• at least one wireless transceiver;
• a processor;
• and
• computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by the processor, direct the base station apparatus to perform operations using the at least one wireless transceiver, the operations comprising:
• coordinating aggregation of control-plane and user-plane communications with a user equipment (UE) between at least a first active-coordination-set (ACS) and a second ACS by communicating with a second master base station of the second ACS, the first ACS including the base station apparatus acting as a first master base station and at least a second base station, the second ACS including the second master base station and at least a third base station;
• communicating, jointly with at least one other base station in the first ACS, with the UE using at least one of a first coordinated multipoint joint transmission or a first coordinated multipoint joint reception between a plurality of base stations in the first ACS and the UE, the at least one of the first coordinated multipoint joint transmission or the first coordinated multipoint joint reception associated with at least a portion of the control-plane and user-plane communications;
• receiving, from the second master base station of the second ACS, control-plane information or user-plane data that is associated with at least one of a second coordinated multipoint joint transmission or second coordinated multipoint joint reception between a plurality of base stations in the second ACS and the user equipment;
• and
• aggregating the control-plane and user-plane communications communicated by the first ACS with at least a portion of the control-plane information or the user-plane data from the second master base station to coordinate data throughput to the user equipment.
