Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communications, comprising: signaling an identifier, to a user equipment (UE), indicating a first resource pattern for a first resource pattern group and a second resource pattern for a second resource pattern group to measure channel state conditions, wherein the first and second resource pattern groups each includes a first set of resources corresponding to a first reference signal pattern for channel estimation on which a first transmission point in a serving cell transmits channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) and a second set of resources corresponding to a second reference signal pattern for interference estimation on which a second transmission point in the serving cell transmits the CSI-RSs and on which the first transmission point in the serving cell does not transmit the CSI-RSs; receiving at least one channel state condition report from the UE based, at least in part, on measurements obtained based on at least one of the first resource pattern or the second resource pattern; and determining one or more resources for use by the UE based on the at least one received channel state condition report.
