Techniques for configuring channel state information (csi) process for a coordinated set of transmission reception points

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• transmitting, by a user equipment, a sounding reference signal (SRS);
• receiving, by the user equipment, one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) from a first coordinated multiple-point (CoMP) set of transmission points, the first CoMP set of transmission points are determined based at least in part on the SRS;
• and
• reporting, by the user equipment, channel state information (CSI) to the one or more transmission points.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a sounding reference signal (SRS);
• identify, based at least in part on the SRS, a first coordinated multiple-point (CoMP) set of transmission points;
• transmit a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) to a user equipment (UE);
• receive channel state information (CSI) from the UE;
• and
• identify, based at least in part on the CSI, a second CoMP set of transmission points.
