COORDINATED MULTI-POINT (COMP) TRANSMISSION FROM A COMP CLUSTER

摘要

A coordinated multipoint, CoMP, controller (108) coordinates transmission from a CoMP cluster (102) to a wireless communication device (114). The CoMP controller (108) determines from among multiple different coordination hypotheses for how to coordinate transmissions from the CoMP cluster (102) to the wireless communication device (114), a coordination hypothesis to apply. The CoMP controller (108) applies the determined coordination hypothesis (122) to transmissions from the CoMP cluster (102) on channel state information, CSI, radio resources on which the wireless communication device (114) is to perform CSI measurements. Notably, though, the CoMP controller (108) defers applying the determined coordination hypothesis to transmissions from the CoMP cluster (102) on user data radio resources, until after the determined coordination hypothesis is applied to the transmissions on the CSI radio resources.
