1. An apparatus comprising:
- measurement feedback circuitry to receive a boundary metric from a user equipment (UE), wherein the boundary metric is based on UE measurements of a reference signal received power (RSRP) value in one or more channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) and indicates a proximity of the UE to a boundary of a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) cluster; and
CoMP control circuitry to determine a CoMP configuration for the UE based on the boundary metric.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for configuring coordinated multipoint (CoMP) for network devices. In various embodiments, configuration of the CoMP may be based on channel state information reference signals. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
measurement circuitry to; receive one or more one or more channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs); measure a reference signal received power (RSRP) value in at least one of the one or more CSI-RSs; and determine, based on the RSRP value measured in the at least one of the one or more CSI-RSs, a boundary metric to indicate a proximity of an apparatus to a boundary of a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) cluster; and feedback circuitry coupled with the measurement circuitry to transmit the boundary metric to a CoMP control circuitry. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A non-transitory computing device-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that in response to execution of the instructions on a user equipment cause the user equipment to:
receive one or more one or more channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs); determine, based on at least one of the one or more CSI-RSs, a boundary metric corresponding to the user equipment; detect an occurrence of an event; and transmit the boundary metric to an enhanced node base station based on detection of the occurrence. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
