MECHANISMS FOR MULTI-TIER DISTRIBUTED CO-OPERATIVE MULTI-POINT TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for the following procedures: network signaling for user equipment (UE) measurements; UE measurements; UE feedback; feedback adjustment at network nodes; scheduling; Acknowledgements/Negative Acknowledgements; and network-wide planning. Some or all of these mechanisms can be used in implementing distributed open-loop multi-user co-operative multi-point (MU-CoMP) technology as well as other non-CoMP, one-tier or centralized wireless transmission technologies. The mechanisms are in line with proposed no-cell technology for 5G communication networks.
