Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure propose two efficient designs for a control channel in a Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) system. The proposed designs enable a user equipment (UE) to transmit acknowledgement (ACK) and negative acknowledgement (NACK) signals to one or more access points (APs) upon receiving transmissions from them.
