Abstract:
1. A method for implementing coordinated communication in a wireless network system including a first serving network node and a second cooperating network node, the method including: configuring a first transmission channel, the first transmission channel being established on the first serving network node, wherein the first serving network node is configured to advertise the existence of a second transmission channel via at least one of broadcast control channel (BCCH) signaling or dedicated signaling; configuring the second transmission channel, the second transmission channel being established on the second cooperating node, wherein the first transmission channel and the second transmission channel are configured with different component carriers having different carrier frequencies; transmitting control information from the first serving network node to a user agent (UA) using the component carrier configured for the first transmission channel, the control information allocating a resource on the component carrier configured for the second transmission channel, wherein the resource is allocated by the first serving network node to schedule a data transmission between the UA and the second cooperating network node via the component carrier configured for the second transmission channel; receiving uplink control information from the UA on the component carrier configured for the first transmission channel, wherein the uplink control information includes a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission to the first serving network node; and receiving uplink data from the UA on the component carrier configured for the second transmission channel, wherein the uplink data includes a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission to the second cooperating network node.
