Abstract:
Methods, systems, and storage media for providing multi-cell, multi-point single user (SU) multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) operations are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may receive and process a first set of one or more independent data streams received in a downlink channel from a first transmission point. The apparatus may receive and process a second set of one or more independent data streams received in a downlink channel from a second transmission point. The apparatus may process control information received from the first transmission point or the second transmission point. The control information may include an indication of a quasi co-location assumption to be used for estimating channel characteristics for reception of the first set of one or more independent data streams or the second set of one or more independent data streams. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus to be implemented in a user equipment (UE) comprising:\n an antenna array that includes at least a first receive antenna and a second receive antenna; one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions; and one or more processors coupled with the antenna array and the one or more computer-readable storage media, wherein at least one processor of the one or more processors is to execute the instructions to:\n control reception of a first set of one or more independent data streams in a downlink channel of a first cell using the first receive antennas; \n control reception of a second set of one or more independent data streams in a downlink channel of a second cell using the second receive antennas; \n control reception of control information from a first downlink cell using the first receive antennas or a second downlink cell using the second receive antennas; \n determine a quasi co-location assumption based on an indication of the control information, wherein the quasi co-location assumption to be used for estimating channel characteristics for reception of the first set of one or more independent data streams or for reception of the second set of one or more independent data streams; and \n estimate, using the quasi co-location assumption, channel characteristics for reception of the first set of one or more independent data streams or for reception of the second set of one or more independent data streams.
