Terminal Based Grouping Virtual Transmission and Reception in Wireless Networks

摘要

Virtualized group-wise communications between a wireless network and a plurality of user equipments (UEs) are supported using UE cooperation. UE cooperation includes receiving, at a cooperating UE (CUE), downlink information from the wireless network destined for a target UE (TUE) and associated with a group identifier (ID). The group ID indicates a virtual multi-point (ViMP) node that includes the TUE and the CUE. The UE cooperation also includes sending the downlink information to the TUE. The UE or UE component can have a processor configured to forward between the wireless network and a TUE at least some information that is associated with a group ID indicating a ViMP node that groups the TUE and the UE.

1. A method for virtualized group-wise communications between a wireless network and a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:
receiving, at a cooperating UE (CUE), downlink information from the wireless network, wherein the downlink information is destined for a target UE (TUE) and associated with a group identifier (ID), the group ID for targeting a virtual multi-point (ViMP) node that includes the TUE and the CUE; and sending the downlink information to the TUE.
