Abstract:
1. A wireless network component, the wireless network component comprising: circuitry configured to determine channel quality of a radio channel of a user equipment (UE), wherein the wireless network component is configured to receive a signal quality report from the UE and the signal quality report indicates a quality of signals sent to the UE; circuitry configured to receive first assistance data from another wireless network component, wherein the first assistance data indicates channel conditions at the another wireless network component; circuitry configured to dynamically schedule, on a time and frequency resource basis, a number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) streams for communication with the UE based on the received first assistance data and the channel quality of the radio channel of the UE; circuitry configured to send second assistance data to the another wireless network component to adjust another number of MIMO OFDM streams to another UE, wherein the number of MIMO OFDM streams and the another number of MIMO OFDM streams are substantially time-aligned; and wherein the second assistance data indicates channel conditions related to the wireless network component.
