Abstract
A method implemented in a mobile communications network supporting coordinated multiple point transmission and reception (CoMP) is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), data in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and transmitting a reference signal to the UE, wherein a union of resource elements (REs) allocated for reference signals transmitted from a subset of a plurality of transmission points (TPs) in a CoMP set are excluded from resource mapping for transmitting the data to the UE. Other methods, systems, and apparatuses also are disclosed.
