Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media facilitating multiple device coordination in wireless communication systems

摘要

Multiple device coordination (MDC) in a wireless communication system is described. For example, a method includes identifying, by a coordinating device associated with an entity, one or more non-coordinating devices of a network and associated with the same entity. The method also includes coordinating a single, shared radio connection to which the coordinating device and the one or more non-coordinating devices are communicatively coupled. In some instances, coordination is performed via initializing, management and/or transmission stages. For example, from a set of candidate devices, a coordinating device and the non-coordinating devices are determined during the initialization stage. The coordinating device can be selected based on any number of different factors including, but not limited to, proximity to base station, transceiver power, resources, screen size and/or based on a selection made by the entity.
