Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication of a first cell, comprising: transmitting disabling information to a user equipment (UE) indicating that open loop transmission power control (TPC) is to be disabled based on a range expansion status of the UE in a range expanded region of a second cell, wherein the range expansion status indicates a location of the UE with respect to the range expanded region of the second cell; communicating with the second cell in relation to a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission of control information by the first cell directly to the UE and data by the second cell directly to the UE in the range expanded region of the second cell; receiving at the first cell a desired transmission power level for the UE from the second cell; generating at the first cell control information based on the desired transmission power level; and transmitting from the first cell the control information to the UE.
