SYSTEM AND METHOD IMPLEMENTING SPATIAL MULTIPLEXING AND JOINT COORDINATED MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION OF DATA

摘要

According to some embodiments, a method in a wireless communication device includes exchanging, with all wireless devices within a cluster of wireless devices, data to be transmitted to each serving node serving a wireless device within the cluster of wireless devices. The cluster is formed based on one or more metrics. The data exchanged with all wireless devices in the cluster is concatenated into a multiplexed data block. A virtual multi-input multi-output (VMIMO) array is formed with the antennas of all wireless devices within the cluster, and the VMIMO array is used to transmit the multiplexed data block.
