Abstract
An electronic device that communicates with a plurality of base stations by Coordinated Multiple Point transmission and reception (CoMP), the base stations including at least a first base station and a second base station. The electronic device receives configuration information from the first base station, the configuration information indicating a first period of a first reference resource; and receives a second reference resource from the second base station during the first period. The first reference resource corresponds to a muted power Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and the second reference resource corresponds to a non-muted power CSI-RS.
