Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment, comprising: receiving a first multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmission from a first cell; receiving a second MIMO transmission from a second cell; determining a first characteristic of the first MIMO transmission and a second characteristic of the second MIMO transmission; and jointly selecting a first precoding matrix associated with the first cell and a second precoding matrix associated with the second cell, in accordance with the first characteristic and the second characteristic, wherein jointly selecting the first precoding matrix and the second precoding matrix comprises selecting the first precoding matrix and the second precoding matrix from among a plurality of available combinations of precoding matrices associated with the first cell and the second cell, respectively, and wherein the selected combination of the first precoding matrix and the second precoding matrix is adapted to result in a maximum sum spectral efficiency for the first cell and the second cell, from among the plurality of available combinations of precoding matrices associated with the first cell and the second cell.
