Power control management in uplink (ul) coordinated multipoint (comp) transmission

A method for controlling transmission power of one or more user equipments (UEs) by a base station, comprising:

• determining mobility of a UE;
• and
• selecting a power control algorithm for use in controlling power of transmissions from the UE, based on the determined mobility.

A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), comprising:

• measuring path loss (PL) between a UE and one or more transmission points involved in uplink (UL) coordinate multipoint (CoMP) transmissions with the UE;
• and
• taking action to compensate for the measured path loss.

A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• measuring both common reference signals (CRS) and channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) transmitted from transmission points involved in uplink (UL) CoMP transmissions;
• and
• performing power control for UL transmissions based on both the CRS and the CSI-RS.
