Flexible Configuration of Channel Measurement
First Claim
1. A method comprisingacquiring one or more reference signal patterns for channel measurement, each reference signal pattern defining a predefined number of ports subject to channel measurement,configuring a channel measurement set for a terminal by selecting ports out of the acquired one or more reference signal patterns and combining the selected ports in at least two channel measurement patterns, andinstructing channel measurements at the terminal based on the at least two channel measurement patterns in the configured channel measurement set.

Abstract
There are provided measures for flexible configuration of channel measurement, particularly in CoMP communication and/or CoMP-enabled heterogeneous network deployments. Such measures may exemplarily include acquiring one or more reference signal patterns for channel measurement, each reference signal pattern defining a predefined number of ports subject to channel measurement, configuring a channel measurement set for a terminal by selecting ports out of the acquired one or more reference signal patterns and combining the selected ports in at least two channel measurement patterns, and instructing channel measurements at the terminal based on the at least two channel measurement patterns in the configured channel measurement set.

8. A method comprising
receiving, from a transmission point, an instruction for channel measurements on the basis of a channel measurement set, and performing the instructed channel measurements based on at least two channel measurement patterns in the channel measurement set, each channel measurement pattern including a number of ports from one or more reference signal patterns for channel measurement, which are subject to channel measurement.
