Patent ID: 10110407

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a user equipment (UE) (100), comprising: a first measuring unit (110) adapted to measure time alignment error (TAE) and/or frequency alignment error (FAE) for antenna ports belonging to transmission point devices in Coordinated Multipoint Transmission (CoMP), the TAE including internal TAE and/or external TAE; and a first feedback unit (120) adapted to feedback the measured internal TAE, and/or external TAE, and/or FAE to at least one of the transmission point devices. The present invention provides a simple, direct and efficient approach for measuring and feeding back the cell-specific internal TAE and/or the UE-specific external TAE/FAE by UE and compensating the TAE/FAE by the transmission point device in the CoMP transmission, so that the CoMP transmission can properly operate.
