Abstract
A method and system for concurrent transmission of (i) a first bit sequence from a first access node to a UE and (ii) a second bit sequence from a second access node to the UE, when the first access node serves the UE on a first carrier according to a first radio access technology (RAT), the second access node serves the UE on a second carrier according to a second RAT, and the first and second carriers overlap in frequency. Per the disclosure, the access nodes could orthogonally encode their respective bit sequences and could concurrently transmit the resulting encoded bit sequences to the UE on the same frequency as each other.
