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 1):
A network node, comprising:\n a transmitter configured to transmit a configuration message to a User Equipment (UE), the configuration message specifying at least one Channel State Information (CSI) report indicating 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 indicated, 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, to configure the UE to:\n estimate interference according to the specified interference hypothesis; \n estimate properties of the effective channel; and \n determine the at least one CSI report based on the interference estimation and the estimated properties of the effective channel; and \n a receiver configured to receive, from the UE, the at least one CSI report.
