  • Patent number: 9461785
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control signaling method and apparatus in a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) system. A base station generates a cell information block (CIB) containing associated cell information of each CoMP base station of the CoMP system, scrambles first control information for the transmission of the CIB using a CoMP-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) given to the CoMP system, transmits the scrambled control information to terminals in a cell via a control channel, and transmits the CIB to terminals in the cell via a data channel. In addition, when handover to a target cell for a specific terminal from among said terminals is determined, the base station generates second control information for indicating the target cell, scrambles the second control information using a cell RNTI (C-RNTI) of the specific terminal, and transmits the scrambled control information to the specific terminal via the control channel, to thereby indicate cell reselection and/or handover to the target cell.
