JOINT TRANSMISSION CoMP WITH SINGLE CARRIER CELL AGGREGATION

摘要

In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention, there is at least a method, apparatus, and computer program to determine each transmission point participating in a joint cooperative multi-point transmission to a user equipment, send a downlink message to the user equipment which identifies each of the transmission points, and which schedules for the user equipment downlink resources on which each of the transmission points are to send downlink data to the user equipment in the joint cooperative multi-point transmission, and send a transmission to the user equipment on one of the downlink resources in conjunction with each other transmission point's transmission to the user equipment. Further, in accordance with the exemplary embodiments there is at least a method, apparatus, and computer program to receive a downlink message which identifies each of transmission points participating in a joint cooperative multi-point transmission with a user equipment, and which schedules downlink resources on which the user equipment is to receive downlink data from the transmission points for the joint cooperative multi-point transmission, and receive, at the user equipment, a transmission on one of the downlink resources in conjunction with the other transmission point's transmission.
