Method and apparatus for bundling resource blocks in wireless communication

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided for bundling resource blocks (RB) for varying bandwidth scenarios in wireless communication. Where multiple access points form a coordinated multiple point (CoMP) set for a device, the access points may be configured to use a common RB bundling size for precoding transmissions to the device. In another aspect, where a device is allocated a bandwidth and a bandwidth extension, a RB bundling size may be determined for the bandwidth and bandwidth extension, jointly or individually. The RB bundling size may be determined based on the bandwidth or on the bandwidth and the bandwidth extension.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining a set of access points supporting coordinated transmission for a device; determining a common resource block bundling size for the set of access points for precoding transmissions to the device, wherein a local resource block bundling size of a serving access point from the set of access points is used as the common resource block bundling size; and bundling a plurality of resource blocks based at least in part on the common resource block bundling size.
