Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for transmission point indication in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system. A user equipment (UE) may receive common reference signal (CRS) parameters associated with individual base stations of a CoMP measurement set. The UE may also receive a transmission point index corresponding to a first base station of the CoMP measurement set that is scheduled for communications with the UE. A mapping module of the UE may produce a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) mapping pattern based on the CRS parameters associated with the scheduled base station.

Abstract: A noise and interference estimator and method for estimating noise and interference in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system at a mobile communication device is disclosed. The method comprises the operation of receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a serving transmitting station at a user equipment (UE). Resource elements (REs) occupied by the CSI-RS of the serving transmitting station are muted on cooperating transmitting stations in the CoMP system. The operation of estimating a non-cooperating interference noise covariance matrix from the CSI-RS transmitted by the serving transmitting station follows.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a wireless communication system including a user equipment (UE) and a plurality of base stations (e.g., evolved NodeBs (eNBs)). The UE may generate feedback information based on channel conditions between the UE and two or more of the plurality of base stations. The UE may transmit the feedback information to one or more of the base stations. Two or more of the plurality of base stations may contemporaneously send different data streams to the UE, the data streams having properties based at least in part on the respective feedback information. The UE may decouple and decode the data streams from the two or more base stations using multi-antenna techniques.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a first base station may communicate with a first user equipment (UE) over a wireless communication channel. The first base station may receive an interference indication from a second base station communicating with a second UE on the same wireless communication channel. In response to the interference indication, the first base station may transmit a request to the first UE for the first UE to send feedback information associated with the wireless communication channel to the first base station for one or more transmission ranks specified by the first base station. The first UE may determine the requested feedback information and transmit the determined feedback information to the first base station. Thereafter, the first base station may reduce a transmission rank of ongoing transmissions to the UE based on the interference indication and the determined feedback information.
