Claim:
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured for at least one of enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) or coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission in a wireless network, the method comprising: determining a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration for at least a first CSI report set and a second CSI report set associated with a first component carrier (CC) utilized with the eICIC or the CoMP transmission; detecting a report collision between CSI reports within the first CSI report set, wherein the detecting the report collision within the first CSI report set includes detecting that a first CSI report in the first CSI report set collides with a second CSI report in the first CSI report set, wherein each of the first CSI report set and the second CSI report set includes a plurality of CSI report types for the first CC; performing report type prioritization of the first CSI report set based at least in part on CSI report types of the colliding first CSI report in the first CSI report set and second CSI report in the first CSI report set to generate a prioritized first CSI report set; determining that there is a set collision between CSI report sets within the first CC, wherein the determining that there is a set collision within the first CC includes determining that a first prioritized CSI report in the prioritized first CSI report set collides with a first CSI report in the second CSI report set; and performing set prioritization of the prioritized first CSI report set and the second CSI report set.
