Claim Text:
1. A subscriber station, comprising: a wireless receiver configured to receive information relating to two or more transmission points (TPs), the information comprising one or more of carrier frequencies of the TPs, physical cell identifiers (PCI) of the TPs, a TP-specific offset for one or more of the TPs, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration, a CSI-RS subframe configuration, and TP identifiers for the TPs; and a transmitter configured to transmit an indication of a channel quality measurement for a first of the two or more TPs based on whether one of Mcp+Opcp−Hys>Mrp+Oprp+Off and Mcp+Opcp+Hys<Mrp+Oprp+Off is satisfied, wherein changing of a reference TP for the subscriber station from among the two or more TPs is based on the channel quality measurement indication, wherein Mcp is a measured channel quality for the first TP, Opcp is a TP specific offset of the first TP, Mrp is a measured channel quality for a reference TP among the two or more TPs without taking into account any offset, Oprp is a TP specific offset of the reference TP, and Hys is the hysteresis parameter for the channel quality measurement, and Off is the offset parameter for the channel quality measurement.
