Reference signal port discovery involving transmission points

摘要

A method includes receiving information indicating one or more sets of reference signal patterns from a first transmission point, wherein at least one of the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns corresponds to one of one or more other transmission points; measuring the channel quality for the indicated sets of reference signal patterns; and reporting indications of the measured channel quality for the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns to the first transmission point. Another method includes transmitting information indicating one or more sets of reference signal patterns from a first transmission point to a user equipment, wherein at least one of the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns corresponds to one of one or more other transmission points; and receiving from the user equipment indications of measured channel quality for the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns.

1. A method comprising:
receiving information indicating one or more sets of reference signal patterns from a transmission point, wherein the one or more sets of reference signal patterns comprise one or more muting reference signal patterns that have zero transmit power for certain frames of transmissions by the transmission point; measuring the channel quality for the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns using the one or more muting reference signal patterns from the transmission point; and reporting indications of the measured channel quality for the indicated one or more sets of reference signal patterns to the transmission point.
