System and Method for Multiple Point Communications
First Claim
1. A method for multiple point communications, the method comprising:
- configuring, by a controller device, a set of first communications system resources to form a plurality of first communications system resource groups, each first communications system resource group including a plurality of channels;
configuring, by the controller device, a set of second communications system resources for each one of the plurality of first communications system resource groups, the set of second communications system resources used to convey a feedback transmission;
signaling, by the controller device, information about the plurality of first communications system resource groups to a first user equipment; and
signaling, by the controller device, information about the sets of second communications system resources associated with the plurality of first communications system resource groups to the first user equipment.

Abstract
A method for multiple point communications includes configuring a set of first communications system resources to form a plurality of first communications system resource groups, each first communications system resource group including a plurality of channels, and configuring a set of second communications system resources for each one of the plurality of first communications system resource groups, the set of second communications system resources used to convey a feedback transmission. The method also includes signaling information about the plurality of first communications system resource groups to a first user equipment, and signaling information about the sets of second communications system resources associated with the plurality of first communications system resource groups to the first user equipment.
