ENHANCED ANTENNA MANAGEMENT BY A BASE STATION

摘要

Enhanced antenna management for nodes is described in which transmit antennas assigned to at least one first carrier are designated for usage in a second carrier. The nodes transmit various signals and reference signals using a set of antenna ports on the second carrier based on the combined physical antennas associated with the first inactive carriers and physical antennas associated with the second carrier.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
designating, by a node, one or more transmit antennas of the node assigned to at least one first carrier for use with a second carrier; and transmitting at least one of a control channel, a data channel, or a reference signal with a set of antenna ports on the second carrier, wherein the set of antenna ports is based, at least in part, on a combination of the one or more transmit antennas assigned to the at least one first carrier and one or more transmit antennas of the node assigned for use with the second carrier.
