EVOLVED NODE B AND METHOD FOR COHERENT COORDINATED MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION WITH PER CSI-RS FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. An evolved Node B (eNB) configured for coherent joint transmission, the eNB to:
- configure at least a first cooperating point and a second cooperating point to jointly transmit a multi-node channel-state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) (CSI-RS) in predetermined resource elements of a resource block;
receive CSI reports as feedback from user equipment (UE), the CSI reports including a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) indicating relative phase information between the first and second cooperating points based on the multi-node CSI-RS; and
configure at least the first and second cooperating points for a coherent joint transmission to the UE based at least on the relative phase information.

Abstract
An evolved Node B (eNB) and method for coherent coordinated multipoint transmission with per CSI-RS feedback are generally described herein. The eNB may configure a first cooperating point and a second cooperating point to jointly transmit a multi-node channel-state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) (CSI-RS) in predetermined resource elements of a resource block. The eNB may receive CSI reports as feedback from user equipment (UE). The CSI reports may include a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) indicating relative phase information between the cooperating points based on the multi-node CSI-RS. The CSI reports for the multi-node CSI-RS may be restricted to a PMI of rank-1. The eNB may configure the cooperating points for a coherent joint transmission to the UE based at least on the relative phase information. The coherent joint transmission may also be jointly beamformed based on single-node PMIs.

18. An evolved Node B (eNB) configured for coherent joint transmission, the eNB to:
-
receive channel-state information (CSI) reports as feedback from user equipment (UE), the CSI reports including a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) indicating relative phase information between first and second cooperating points, the relative phase information based on a multi-node CSI reference signal (RS) (CSI-RS) that was jointly transmitted, the CSI reports for the multi-node CSI-RS being restricted to a PMI of rank-1; receive additional CSI reports as feedback from the UE, the additional CSI reports including a single-node PMI for each of a plurality of single-node CSI-RSs; and configure at least the first and second cooperating points for a coherent joint transmission to the UE based at least on the relative phase information, the coherent joint transmission being jointly beamformed based on the single-node PMIs. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
