Patent number: 8811974Abstract: Multipoint wireless communications are coordinated in cells with radiation that is emanated from antennas in an inward direction. In an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a third antenna and a controller. The first antenna emanates radiation from a first location in an inwardly direction for a cell. The second antenna emanates radiation from a second location in an inwardly direction for the cell. The third antenna emanates radiation from a third location in an inwardly direction for the cell. The controller coordinates the emanation of the radiation via the first, second, and third antennas so as to reduce intra-cell interference for remote terminals located within the cell. The coordination may be effected in accordance with one or more coordinated multi-point (transmission/reception) (CoMP) techniques. Different numbers of sub-cells and antennas per cell and different CoMP cell organizations may be implemented.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Abdulfauf Hafeez, Jiann-Ching Guey, Sven Oscar Petersson, Kambiz Zangi
