Abstract
A method embodiment includes receiving, by a network device, a cooperation candidate set (CCS) and determining a cooperation active set (CAS). The CCS includes a plurality of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs) for selection to the CAS, and the plurality of potential CUEs is selected from a plurality of user equipment (UEs) in the network. The CAS is a set of CUEs selected from the CCS. A target user equipment (TUE) and the set of CUEs form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
Claims26
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a target user equipment (TUE) from a transmit point, first information indicating a cooperation candidate set (CCS) including a set of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs), wherein the CCS is semi-statically configured;
- and
- receiving, by the TUE from the transmit point, second information indicating a cooperation active set (CAS), wherein the CAS includes a subset of CUEs selected from the CCS, and wherein the TUE and the subset of CUEs in the CAS form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a transmit point to a target user equipment (TUE), first information indicating a cooperation candidate set (CCS) including a set of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs), wherein the CCS is semi-statically configured;
- and
- transmitting, by the transmit point to the TUE, second information indicating a cooperation active set (CAS), wherein the CAS includes a subset of CUEs selected from the CCS, and wherein the TUE and the subset of CUEs in the CAS form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
A target user equipment (TUE), comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the at least one processor, the programming including instructions to:
- receive, from a transmit point, first information indicating a cooperation candidate set (CCS) including a set of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs), wherein the CCS is semi-statically configured;
- and
- receive, from the transmit point, second information indicating a cooperation active set (CAS), wherein the CAS includes a subset of CUEs selected from the CCS, and wherein the TUE and the subset of CUEs in the CAS form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
A transmit point, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the at least one processor, the programming including instructions to:
- transmit, to a target user equipment (TUE), first information indicating a cooperation candidate set (CCS) including a set of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs), wherein the CCS is semi-statically configured;
- and
- transmit, to the TUE, second information indicating a cooperation active set (CAS), wherein the CAS includes a subset of CUEs selected from the CCS, and wherein the TUE and the subset of CUEs in the CAS form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
A target user equipment (TUE), comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the at least one processor, the programming including instructions to:
- transmit, to a transmit point, first information indicating a cooperation candidate set (CCS) including a set of potential cooperating user equipment (CUEs);
- and
- receive, from the transmit point, second information indicating a cooperation active set (CAS), wherein the CAS includes a subset of CUEs selected from the CCS, and wherein the TUE and the subset of CUEs in the CAS form a virtual multipoint transceiver.
