Abstract:
A system and method for providing an eNodeB with the flexibility to configure a Channel State Information (CSI) report to match a specific Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission hypothesis, which is a candidate for a downlink transmission to a User Equipment (UE) is disclosed. A UE receives, from the eNodeB, a configuration message that specifies a CSI report. The CSI report is specified by a particular interference hypothesis and a particular desired signal hypothesis corresponding to data transmission over at least one effective channel characterized by a specific reference signal. The UE estimates interference according to the interference hypothesis, and/or estimates at least one effective channel by performing measurements on the specific reference signal, and determines a CSI report based on the interference estimation and on the estimated effective channel. The UE also transmits the CSI report to the eNodeB.

Claim (Index 7):
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:\n a communication interface configured to receive a configuration message from an network node, wherein the configuration message specifies at least one first Channel State Information (CSI) report specifying an interference hypothesis and a desired signal hypothesis corresponding to a hypothetical data transmission over an effective channel that is characterized by a reference signal, where the interference hypothesis and the desired signal hypothesis are specified, at least in part, by a Channel State Information-Interference Measurement (CSI-IM) configuration, and a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) configuration, respectively; a controller configured to estimate interference according to the specified interference hypothesis, estimate the properties of the effective channel, and determine at least one CSI report based on the interference estimation and the estimated properties of the effective channel; and a transmitter configured to transmit the at least one CSI report to the network node.
