摘要:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for separating control transmissions and data transmissions within the coverage area of a plurality of transmission/reception points or points that are geographically displaced, the plurality of points comprising a macro node and a plurality of remote radio heads (RRHs) coupled to the macro node. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions in the macro node/RRH configuration may allow UEs to be associated with one set of transmission points for data transmissions and the same set or a different set of transmission points for common control signaling. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions may also allow for faster reconfiguration of antenna ports used for UE data transmission compared with reconfiguration via a handover process.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides various configurations of the macro cell and remote radio heads to allow legacy UEs to function, including mapping CRS ports to physical antenna, configuring CSI-RS transmissions and assisting the new UE in identifying remote radio heads.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for implicitly linking aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) reports to CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. In an aspect, the UE may be instructed to report on specific CSI-RS resource(s) via explicit signaling in the UE grant. Other aspects disclose techniques for implicit CSI-RS resource selection by the UE that require fewer signaling resources. Instead of explicitly signaling CSI-RS resources to the UE, the UE may implicitly select CSI-RS resource for CSI feedback reporting based on information known to the UE, e.g. a subframe on which a reporting request is received. This may reduce the impact of the additional signaling in the UE grant.

摘要:
In macro/RRH setups, channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) and demodulation reference signals (DM-RS) may be used to decouple control and data transmission. Data transmission (e.g. for LTE Rel 10 and beyond) may be based on CSI-RS and DM-RS, while control may be received from a different set of cells or TxPs via CRS. Certain aspects of the present disclosure introduce a reporting framework, in which configuration of data-serving cells/TxPs may be carried out based on CSI-RS. In certain aspects, a new concept of CSI-RS groups, i.e., a set of CSI-RS ports that a UE considers as one group for precoding matrix indicator (PMI)/channel quality indicator (CQI)/rank indicator (RI) reporting, may be defined.

摘要:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to channel and interference estimations in a multiple transmission point environment including an eNB and RRHs. In the disclosed aspects, one or more transmission points can signal to a UE to measure channel state conditions based on a first and a second resource pattern. The UE may receive the signaling and perform interference estimation based at least in part on the first resource pattern, and channel estimation based at least in part on the second resource pattern. The UE may generate a channel state report based on the interference and channel estimations, and transmit the channel state report to a transmission point. The eNB may employ the received channel state report in scheduling one or more resources for use by the UE, and may select or adjust network traffic on the first and the second resource pattern, to affect the resulting channel and interference estimation.
