  • Publication number: 20160197654
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an apparatus and method for signaling information exchanging in CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point). According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a method for signaling information exchanging, a service TP (Transmission Point) and at least one neighboring TP provide the CoMP to at least one UE (User Equipment). The method comprises receiving by the service TP a precoder feedback from at least one UE, wherein the precoder is specific to one of the least one neighboring TP. The service TP decides if the precoder should be sent to the specific neighboring TP. If affirmative, the service TP compresses an indicator indicating the precoder and sends the compressed indicator to the specific neighboring TP.
