Abstract
A method performed by a processing apparatus of a cell-free communication system that includes a plurality of access points (APs) is provided. The method includes: transmitting, to a wireless device via a master AP among one or more APs included in a cluster associated with the wireless device, measurement information for the wireless device to determine a measurement target AP for which the wireless device measures a channel state; and receiving, as a response to the measurement information, channel state information indicating the channel state to the measurement target AP, via the master AP.
Claims10
A method performed by a processing apparatus of a cell-free communication system that includes a plurality of access points (APs), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device via a master AP among one or more APs included in a cluster associated with the wireless device, measurement information for the wireless device to determine a measurement target AP for which the wireless device measures a channel state;
- and
- receiving, as a response to the measurement information, channel state information indicating the channel state to the measurement target AP, via the master AP,
- wherein the measurement information includes an identifier of the measurement target AP, and
- wherein the one or more APs included in the cluster are regarded as the measurement target AP.
A method performed by a processing apparatus of a cell-free communication system that includes a plurality of access points (APs), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device via a master AP among one or more APs included in a cluster associated with the wireless device, measurement information for the wireless device to determine a measurement target AP for which the wireless device measures a channel state;
- and
- receiving, as a response to the measurement information, channel state information indicating the channel state to the measurement target AP, via the master AP,
- wherein the measurement information includes an identifier of the measurement target AP, and
- wherein one or more neighboring APs to which distances from the one or more APs included in the cluster are shorter than a predetermined value, and that are not included in the cluster is regarded as the measurement target AP.
A processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory device for storing a program,
- wherein, when executed by the one or more processors, the program causes the processing apparatus to perform:
- transmitting, to a wireless device via a master AP among one or more APs included in a cluster associated with the wireless device, measurement information for the wireless device to determine a measurement target AP for which the wireless device measures a channel state;
- and
- receiving, as a response to the measurement information, channel state information indicating the channel state to the measurement target AP, via the master AP,
- wherein the measurement information includes an identifier of the measurement target AP, and
- wherein the one or more APs included in the cluster are regarded as the measurement target AP.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program, the program including a program instruction for causing, when executed by one or more processors of a processing apparatus, the processing apparatus to perform:
- transmitting, to a wireless device via a master AP among one or more APs included in a cluster associated with the wireless device, measurement information for the wireless device to determine a measurement target AP for which the wireless device measures a channel state;
- and
- receiving, as a response to the measurement information, channel state information indicating the channel state to the measurement target APs, via the master AP,
- wherein the measurement information includes an identifier of the measurement target AP, and
- wherein the one or more APs included in the cluster are regarded as the measurement target AP.
