COORDINATED DYNAMIC POINT SELECTION (DPS) WITH CELL RANGE EXPANSION IN A COORDINATED MULTIPOINT (CoMP) SYSTEM

摘要

Technology for mitigating edge effect interference in a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system having multiple CoMP clusters is disclosed. In an example, a method can include a macro node transmitting a cell range expansion request to user equipments (UEs) within a cell. A CoMP cluster for nodes within the cell that includes UEs operating with the cell range expansion can be generated. Blanked resources between a plurality of macro nodes for the CoMP clusters in the CoMP system can be coordinated using a muting preference including a blanked resource.
