Abstract

A node including processing circuitry including a processor, and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to: determine a cluster of a plurality of cells, assign at least one ZP CSI-RS configuration to each of the plurality of cells of the cluster, assign to each cell in the plurality of cells of the cluster a respective NZP CSI-RS configuration in which each of the NZP CSI-RS configurations assigned to respective cells in the cluster partially overlapping the at least one ZP CSI-RS configuration, and cause a first cell of the plurality of cells of the cluster to transmit, within a subframe, based on the at least one ZP CSI-RS configuration and the NZP CSI-RS configuration assigned to the first cell.
