Abstract:
Described are an eNB and a UE implementing a CSI-RS protocol. The eNB has an ordered set of antenna ports for a wireless communication channel with the UE, a first circuitry operable to compose CSI-RS configuration messages that assign to the UE various CSI-RS groups specifying one or more CSI-RS antenna ports, and a second circuitry to establish an ordered list of CSI-RS antenna ports. The UE has a set of antennas, a first circuitry operable to receive from the eNB various CSI-RS configuration messages assigning to it CSI-RS groups specifying one or more CSI-RS antenna ports, and a second circuitry operable to index CSI-RS antenna ports specified by the CSI-RS groups as an ordered list of CSI-RS antenna ports. The eNB may transmit CSI-RS to the configured UE, and the UE may perform channel state information measurements on the ordered list of CSI-RS antenna ports.

Abstract:
User Equipment (UE) and base station (eNB) apparatus and methodology for radio resource management reporting. The UE receives reference signals from at least one antenna port of an eNB via a plurality of receive antennas of the UE. The UE performs received signal measurement of at least a portion of the reference signals for a plurality of eNB antenna port and UE receive antenna combinational groupings to produce enhanced received signal quality (eRSQ) measurements that represent spatial characteristics of the reference signaling as received by the UE. The UE may send a report to the eNB based on the eRSQ measurements, with the report being indicative of spatial multiplexing layer availability of the UE to be served by the eNB.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for transmission point indication in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system. A user equipment (UE) may receive common reference signal (CRS) parameters associated with individual base stations of a CoMP measurement set. The UE may also receive a transmission point index corresponding to a first base station of the CoMP measurement set that is scheduled for communications with the UE. A mapping module of the UE may produce a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) mapping pattern based on the CRS parameters associated with the scheduled base station.
Abstract:
A user equipment device comprises physical layer circuitry configured to communicate radio frequency (RF) electrical signals directly with one or more separate wireless devices, including to receive an indication of multiple component carriers aggregated into a carrier set that includes at least one scheduling component carrier and at least one scheduled component carrier, and receive scheduling control information for the multiple component carriers of the carrier set using the scheduling component carrier in downlink control information according to a resource radio control signaling protocol.

Soft buffer management circuitry is provided for use in a device of a wireless communication system. The soft buffer management circuitry has input circuitry for receiving information relating to an aggregated carrier comprising a plurality, NDU/ULcells, of configured component carriers. Control circuitry is provided for prioritizing allocation of storage in the soft buffer depending on a carrier index value indicating a prioritization of a corresponding component carrier relative to the other configured component carriers. The buffer is partitioned into a number min (NC, NDL/ULcells) partitions, where NC gives a number of carriers for which soft buffer storage is to be prioritized. A UE comprising the soft buffer management circuitry and a soft buffer management method are also provided.
