Abstract
A method of receiving a signal of a user equipment in a multi-node system including a plurality of nodes and a base station for controlling the plurality of nodes is provided. The method includes: receiving a reference parameter from the base station; and receiving a node-specific signal from at least one node among the plurality of nodes, wherein a virtual cell parameter required for decoding of the node-specific signal is determined based on the reference parameter, and the node-specific signal is identified by each of the plurality of nodes.
Claims11
A method of receiving a signal of a user equipment in a multi-node system including a plurality of nodes and a base station for controlling the plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- receiving a reference parameter from the base station;
- receiving a node-specific signal from at least one node among the plurality of nodes;
- and
- decoding the node-specific signal,
- wherein a virtual cell parameter required for decoding of the node-specific signal is determined based on the reference parameter, and
- wherein the node-specific signal is decoded b using each of candidates of the virtual cell parameter which is dependent on the reference parameter.
An apparatus for receiving a signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a radio frequency (RF) unit comprising one or more ante orts contoured to receive a radio signal;
- and
- a processor coupled to the RF unit,
- wherein the processor is configured to process the radio signal received from a base station and from at least one node among a plurality of nodes controlled by the base station,
- wherein the processor receives a reference parameter from the base station, receives a node-specific signal from the at least one node among the plurality of nodes controlled by the base station, and decodes the node-specific signal,
- wherein a virtual cell parameter required for decoding of the node-specific signal is determined based on the reference parameter, and
- wherein the node-specific signal is decoded by using each of candidates of the virtual cell parameter which is dependent on the reference parameter.
