System and Method for Mapping Data Symbols
First Claim
1. A method for cell operations, the method comprising:
- transmitting resource element utilization information to a communications device, wherein the resource element utilization information comprises utilization information for a subset of resource elements out of a plurality of resource elements, wherein the subset of resource elements corresponds to other resource elements of at least one other cell within a cooperating set, and wherein the other resource elements are carrying specified signals; and
mapping symbols intended for the communications device to the plurality of resource elements, wherein the mapping is based on the resource element utilization, and wherein the mapping is performed by at least one cell within the cooperating set.

Abstract
A system and method for mapping data symbols are provided. A method for communications device operations includes transmitting resource element utilization information to a communications device, and mapping symbols intended for the communications device to the plurality of resource elements. The resource element utilization information includes utilization information for a subset of resource elements out of a plurality of resource elements, the subset of resource elements corresponds to other resource elements of at least one other cell within a cooperating set, and the other resource elements are carrying specified signals. The mapping is based on the resource element utilization, and the mapping is performed by at least one cell within the cooperating set.
