Permutation zone for coordinated multi-point systems
First Claim
1. A method for implementation in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of base stations for providing wireless connectivity to at least a first mobile unit, comprising:
- communicating between the first mobile unit and a first base station a first signal using at least one physical resource block indicated by a first permutation mapping between at least one logical resource block and said at least one physical resource block;
communicating between the first mobile unit and a second base station different than the first base station a second signal using said at least one physical resource block indicated by the first permutation mapping; and
processing the first and second signals based on the first permutation mapping to extract data therefrom.

Abstract
The present subject matter provides a method for implementation in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of base stations for providing wireless connectivity to at least a first mobile unit. A first signal processed using a first permutation mapping is communicated between the first mobile unit and a first base station. A second signal processed using the first permutation mapping is communicated between the first mobile unit and a second base station different than the first base station. The first and second signals are processed based on the first permutation mapping to extract data therefrom.
