Abstract
Methods in a wireless terminal are described for supporting co-ordinated multipoint transmissions including joint transmissions from two or more transmission points, specifically the method of receiving indication of two or more CSI reference signal configurations, each CSI reference signal configuration representing one or more antenna ports comprising a set of antenna ports; determining a first set of transmission parameters corresponding to a first set of antenna ports corresponding to a first CSI reference signal configuration and a second set of transmission parameters corresponding to a second set of antenna ports corresponding to a second CSI reference signal configuration; the first set and second set of transmission parameters determined to maximize the sum data rate for simultaneous transmission from the first set and the second set of antenna ports; conveying, to the base station, information pertaining to the first set of transmission parameters and the second set of transmission parameters.
