Equipo de usuario y procedimiento para señalización de cuasi colocalización de puertos de antena en operaciones multipunto coordinadas

摘要

User Equipment (UE) and methods for antenna port quasi co-location signaling in coordinated multi-point (CoMP) operations are generally described herein. In some embodiments, one or more downlink channels are at least partially offloaded from a serving Evolved Node-B (eNB) to one or more neighbor eNBs. The UE may receive signaling from the serving eNB to indicate a reference signal of a neighbor eNB to use for estimation of one or more large-scale physical-layer parameters associated with the one or more downlink channels provided by one of more of the neighbor eNB. The UE may estimate the one or more large-scale physical-layer parameters based on receipt of the indicated reference signal from the neighbor and serving eNBs. The UE may also apply the estimated one or more large-scale physical-layer parameters for processing the one or more downlink channels from the neighbor and serving eNBs.
