Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program is described above: determining a coupling gain for a user device within a cell of a mobile communication system; comparing the determined coupling gain with a coupling gain threshold; setting the user device to operate in a device-specific CSI-RS mode of operation in the event that the determined coupling gain is less than the coupling gain threshold, wherein, in the device-specific CSI-RS mode of operation, the user device is configured to use device-specific reference signal transmissions for the determination of channel state information; and setting the user device to operate in a cell-specific CSI-RS mode of operation in the event that the determined coupling gain is not less than the coupling gain threshold, wherein, in the cell-specific CSI-RS mode of operation, the user device is configured to use cell-specific reference signal transmissions for the determination of channel state information.
