COORDINATED MULTIPOINT CONFIGURATION BASED ON CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION REFERENCE SIGNALS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- measurement feedback circuitry configured to receive a boundary metric from a user equipment (UE), wherein the boundary metric is based on UE measurements of 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 configured 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.

27. An article of manufacture comprising instructions stored in one or more storage media, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a 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)
