Abstract
A method for operating a multiple point transmission system is disclosed. The method includes reconfiguring the multiple point transmission system according to an updated configuration of an at least one radio bearer between an at least one transmission point and a terminal device, and communicating with the terminal device using the reconfigured multiple point transmission system. The configuration of the at least one radio bearer is updated according to operating condition information of the terminal device.

A method for operating a multiple point transmission system, the method comprising:
- reconfiguring the multiple point transmission system according to an updated configuration of an at least one radio bearer between an at least one transmission point and a terminal device, wherein the configuration of the at least one radio bearer is updated according to operating condition information of the terminal device;
- and
- communicating with the terminal device using the reconfigured multiple point transmission system.
A multiple point transmission system comprising:
- a primary point and an at least one secondary point, wherein at least one of the primary point and the at least one secondary point is configured to:
- reconfigure the multiple point transmission system according to an updated configuration of an at least one radio bearer between an at least one transmission point and a terminal device, wherein the configuration of the at least one radio bearer is updated according to an operating condition information of the terminal device;
- and
- communicate with the terminal device using the reconfigured multiple point transmission system.
A primary point for operating a multiple point transmission system, the primary point comprising:
- a processor configured to determine that a reconfiguration is needed for the multiple point transmission system, wherein the reconfiguration is in accordance with an updated configuration of an at least one radio bearer between at least one transmission point and a terminal device and the configuration is updated according to operating condition information of the terminal device;
- and
- a transceiver configured to inform a terminal device by sending a first message regarding the reconfiguration.
A multiple point transmission system comprising:
- a primary point, configured to communicate with a terminal device and to inform the terminal device regarding an updated configuration of an at least one radio bearer associated with the multiple point transmission system;
- and
- at least one secondary point, configured to communicate with the terminal device, wherein at least one of the at least one secondary point is capable of scheduling downlink data transmission to the terminal device individually,
- wherein the multiple point transmission system further comprises a controller, and the controller is configured to reconfigure the multiple point transmission system according to the updated configuration of the at least one radio bearer.
