Abstract
The invention provides a communication system and components thereof for controlling coordinated transmissions using a plurality of carriers operated by a plurality of transmission points. A transmission point configures a number of signal quality and interference measurements for a mobile telephone communicating over the plurality of carriers, each measurement being associated with multiple carriers and multiple measurement configurations. The mobile telephone performs the configured measurements with respect to each of the multiple carriers and reports the results of the relevant measurements to the transmission point.
Claims6
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the communication network, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling message wherein the RRC signaling message comprises:
- an information element for configuring a reporting of channel state information (CSI), the information element identified by an associated identifier;
- a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) information element for identifying a list comprising at least one CSI-RS resource configuration for the reporting of the CSI;
- and
- a channel state information-interference signal (CSI-IM) information element for identifying a list comprising at least one CSI-IM resource configuration for the reporting of the CSI;
- and
- reporting, to the communication network, the CSI corresponding to the associated identifier.
A user equipment (UE) for a communication network, the UE comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from the communication network, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling message, wherein the RRC signaling message comprises:
- an information element for configuring a reporting of channel state information (CSI), the information element identified by an associated identifier;
- a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) information element for identifying a list comprising at least one CSI-RS resource configuration for the reporting of the CSI;
- and
- a channel state information-interference signal (CSI-IM) information element for identifying a list comprising at least one CSI-IM resource configuration for the reporting of the CSI;
- and
- a transmitter configured to report, to the communication network, the CSI corresponding to the associated identifier.
