Geographically isolated antennas

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver to receive one or more reference signals transmitted from a first set of antennas of an eNB located near the eNB and from a second set of antennas of the eNB geographically isolated from the first set of antennas, wherein one or more common reference signal (CRS) ports are mapped to one or more antennas of the first set of antennas, and one or more CRS ports are mapped to one or more antennas of the second set of antennas;
• one or more baseband processors to perform one or more per port RSRP measurements on the one or more references signals, wherein per port RSRP measurements are obtained from both the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas;
• wherein the RF transceiver is to transmit feedback to the eNB, wherein the feedback includes the one or more RSRP measurements and to receive data transmitted from the eNB via the first set of antenna ports and the second set of antenna ports using a precoding vector selected based on the one or more per port RSRP measurements.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a user equipment (UE), result in:

• a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver to receive one or more reference signals transmitted from a first set of antennas of an eNB located near the eNB and from a second set of antennas of the eNB geographically isolated from the first set of antennas, wherein one or more common reference signal (CRS) ports are mapped to one or more antennas of the first set of antennas, and one or more CRS ports are mapped to one or more antennas of the second set of antennas;
• one or more baseband processors to perform one or more per port RSRP measurements on the one or more references signals, wherein per port RSRP measurements are obtained from both the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas;
• wherein the RF transceiver is to transmit feedback to the eNB, wherein the feedback includes the one or more RSRP measurements and to receive data transmitted from the eNB via the first set of antenna ports and the second set of antenna ports using a precoding vector selected based on the one or more RSRP measurements.
