Abstract

A method of executing inter-eNB CoMP JT between a CoMP UE and multiple CoMP eNBs is disclosed. A first CoMP eNB constructs a first set of dynamic control information (DCI). The first set of DCI is independently constructed by the first CoMP eNB. The first CoMP eNB transmits the first set of DCI to the CoMP UE. The first set of DCI includes independent DL assignments allowing the first CoMP eNB to perform independent scheduling of a PDSCH associated with the first CoMP eNB. A second CoMP eNB constructs a second set of DCI. The second set of DCI is independently constructed by the second CoMP eNB. Furthermore, the second CoMP eNB transmits the second set of DCI to the CoMP UE. The second set of DCI includes independent DL assignments allowing the second CoMP eNB to perform independent scheduling of a PDSCH associated with the second CoMP eNB.
