Claim Text:
1. A method of transmitting uplink data in a wireless network, the method comprising: obtaining, by a user equipment (UE) from a first base station, a first index of the first base station and a second index of a second base station, wherein the first base station is a serving base station for the UE; generating, by the UE, a first reference signal to be used by the first base station, the first reference signal to be used by the first base station being based on the first index of the first base station; transmitting, by the UE to the first base station, first uplink data and the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is one of a channel estimation reference signal, a demodulation reference signal and a decoding reference signal; generating, by the UE, a second reference signal to be used by the second base station, the second reference signal being based on the second index of the second base station; transmitting, by the UE to the second base station, second uplink data and the second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is one of a channel estimation reference signal, a demodulation reference signal and a decoding reference signal; and receiving an ACK/NACK from the first base station indicating whether or not the second base station successfully received the second uplink data.
