CLUSTERING METHOD AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR COORDINATED MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method for clustering a coordinated multipoint transmission of a serving base station, the method comprising:
- receiving expected channel quality information from a neighbor base station to a mobile station; and
determining whether the neighbor base station is eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission with the serving base station based on the expected channel quality information,wherein the expected channel quality information is computed when it is assumed that an interference of the serving base station with respect to the neighbor base station is non-existent in substance or removed.

Abstract
A communication system performing a coordinated multipoint transmission is provided. A mobile station may measure expected channel quality information when an interference of a serving base station does not exist. The serving base station may determine whether a neighbor base station and the serving base station are eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission. The serving base station may determine whether the neighbor base station and the serving base station are eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission using a criterion associated with an evaluation of an increase in a transmission rate of the mobile station.

13. A method for clustering a coordinated multipoint transmission of a serving base station, the method comprising:
-
checking whether a criterion, associated with an evaluation of an increase in a transmission rate according to the coordinated multipoint transmission of a neighbor base station and the serving base station, or a criterion, associated with an evaluation of an increase in a transmission rate according to a change of a current mode of the coordinated multipoint transmission to a particular mode, are satisfied; and determining whether the neighbor base station is eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission with the serving base station based on a result of the checking, or whether the neighbor base station is eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission in the particular mode. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. An operation method of a mobile station for a coordinated multipoint transmission, the method comprising:
-
computing an expected channel quality information from a neighbor base station to the mobile station when an interference of a serving base station with respect to the neighbor base station is non-existent in substance or removed; and reporting, to the serving base station, the expected channel quality information to enable the serving base station to determine whether the neighbor base station and the serving base station perform the coordinated multipoint transmission. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer-readable recording medium storing a program for implementing a method for clustering a coordinated multipoint transmission of a serving base station, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile station, expected channel quality information from a neighbor base station; and determining whether the neighbor base station is eligible to perform the coordinated multipoint transmission with the serving base station based on the expected channel quality information, wherein the expected channel quality information is computed when it is assumed that an interference of the serving base station with respect to the neighbor base station is non-existent in substance or removed.
