BACKGROUND Field This application relates to wireless communications.
20 Related Technique A wireless communications system (for example, cellular) can be evaluated based on its average cell yield and its cell edge yield. In general, it may be desirable to improve the average cell yield and the performance of the cell edge yield. Although average cell performance and 25 performance can be improved by increasing the received signal strength using, for example, the power boosting technique, cell edge users may experience, however, low signal intensity) received, eq performance of the cell edge yield can be affected by interference between cells (ICI). This may be true for wireless communications systems designed to operate with 30 (and operate using) a frequency reuse factor of one, or close to one. This level of frequency reuse can be a key objective of communications systems that employ orthogonal frequency division (OFDM) multiplexing networks, including, for example, fourth generation (4G) and future generation networks. 35 Notwithstanding this objective, operation using the reuse factor of ^ "frequency of one, or close to one, implies that wireless communications systems may become limited by interference due to the fact that all cells are transmitted (or in transmission) across all frequency and time resources simultaneously. Unfortunately, the power boost may not improve the performance of the cell's edge performance due to the fact that signal strengths can be increased to server cells and for interference signals Other techniques to improve the performance of cell 5 edge yield, among others, such as transmission and reception with multipoint coordination (CoMP), may be desirable.
SUMMARY Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for reception by shared channel of downlink transmission in transmissions with Multipoint Coordination 10 (COMP). Among such methods, systems and apparatus, a method which may include receiving, in a wireless transmission and / or reception unit (WTRU), a first set of information for signaling to the WTRU, than a first transmission by coordinated downlink to the WTRU is to come; determining, based on the first set of information, a first set of reception parameters 15 to use in order to generate a first set of demodulation reference signals (DM-RS) to receive the first coordinated downlink transmission, in that the first set of reception parameters comprises a first identifier and a first scrambling identity; the receipt, at the WTRU, of a second set of reception information for signaling for the 20 WTRU that a second downlirik transmission coordinated to the WTRU is to come; and determining, based on the second set of information, a second set of reception parameters to use in order to generate a second set of DM-RS to receive the second coordinated downlink transmission, where the second set of parameters The reception comprises a second identifier and a second scrambling identity. In addition, methods and systems and apparatus are included in a method and apparatus which can be used to determine whether COMP is applied to a transmission. The method and device can be used to acquire other information related to COMP. The method and apparatus can be applied to 30 non-transparent COMP scenarios. The methods can include, for example, dynamic methods and other state-based methods. Also included among the methods, systems and apparatus are a method and an apparatus that can be used to provide DM-RS and sequence ports to support CoMP operation and to allow a CoMP 35 device to demodulate a shared transmission channel by COMP physical downlink (PDSCH). In addition, methods, systems and apparatus include a method and an apparatus that can be used to detect the presence of coprogrammed CoMP devices in a multiple user and multiple user (MU-MIMO) operation. Such a method and apparatus can be used if a transmission point (Tx) uses system parameters other than its own to initialize the DM-RS sequence of a COMP device that receives the PDSCH from the Tx point. PDSCH scrambling can be performed to support the COMP operation and can allow a CoMP device to unscramble the received CoMP PDSCH signal. Also included among the methods, systems and apparatus are a method and an apparatus that can be used to maintain hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes using Tx points for C) JT points with different data through Tx points. The methods, systems and apparatus may also include the method and apparatus which can be used to compensate for a time shift 15 between Tx points on a JT COMP receiver with the same data through Tx points using different ports and / or DM-RS strings. -

Each of the
WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C, 102d can be any type of device configured to operate and / or communicate in a wireless environment.

Base station 114a can be part of RAN 104, which 20 can also include other base stations and / or network elements (not shown), such as a base station controller (BSC), a radio network controller ( RNC), relay nodes, etc. Base station 114a and / or base station 114b can be configured to transmit and / or receive wireless signals within a particular geographic region, I can be called a cell (not shown). The cell can be further divided by Ej 25 forming cell sectors. For example, the cell associated with base station 114a can be divided into three sectors. Thus, in one embodiment, base station 114a can include three transceivers, that is, one for each cell sector. In another embodiment, base station 114a can employ multiple input and multiple output technology (MIMO) and therefore can use multiple transceivers for each sector 30 of the cell.

15 communications between WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102C and traditional terrestrial communications devices.
For example, core network 106 may include, or may communicate with, an IP communication port (for example, an IP multimedia subsystem server (IMS)) that serves as an interface between core network 106 and PSTN 108. In addition, core network 106 can provide WTRUS 102a with
20 102b, 102C access to networks 112, which may include other wired or wireless networks that are owned and / or operated by other service providers.
Figure 1E is a system diagram illustrating RAN 104 and core network 106 according to an embodiment.
RAN 104 can be an access service network (ASN) that employs IEEE 802.16 radio technology to communicate € 3 25 with WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C through the air interface 116. As will be discussed further below, the links communication between the different functional entities of WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C, RAN 104 and core network 106 can be defined as reference points.
As shown in Figure 1E, RAN 104 can include 30 base stations 140a, 140b, 140C, and an ASN 142 communication port, although it is understood that RAN 104 can include any number of base stations and communication ports ASN while remaining consistent with one modality.
Base stations 140a, 140b, 140c can each be associated with a particular cell (not shown) in RAN 104 and can each include one or more 35 transceivers to communicate with WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102c through the air interface 116. In various modalities, the base stations 140a, 140b, 140c can implement MIMO technology.
In this way, base stations 140a, for example, can use multiple antennas to transmit wireless signals to, and receive wireless signals from, the
WTRU 102a.
Base stations 140a, 140b, 140C can also provide mobility management functions, such as delivery triggering, tunnel establishment, network resource management, traffic classification, quality of service (QoS) policy enforcement, and the like .
The ASN 142 communication port can serve
5 as a traffic aggregation point and may be responsible for pager transmission, caching subscriber profiles, routing to core network 106, and the like.
The air interface 116 between WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102c and RAN 104 can be defined as a reference point R1 that implements the IEEE 802.16 specification. In addition, each of the WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C can establish a logical interface (not shown) with the core network 106. The è3 logical interface between the WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102c and the core network 106 can be defined as a R2 reference point, which can be used for authentication, authorization, IP host computer configuration management, and / or
15 mobility.
The communication link between each of the base stations 140a, 140b, 140C can be defined as an R8 reference point that includes protocols to facilitate WTRU transmissions and the transfer of data between base stations.
The communication link between base stations 140a, 140b, 140C and the communication port
20 of ASN 215 can be defined as a reference point R6. The R6 benchmark can include protocols to facilitate mobility management based on mobility events associated with each of the WTRUs 102a, 102b, 100c.
As shown in Figure 1E, RAN 104 can be connected to the core 106 network. The communication link between RAN 104 and the 0 25 core 106 network can be defined as an R3 reference point that includes protocols to facilitate transfer data and mobility management capabilities, for example.
Core network 106 may include a mobile IP residential agent (MIP-HA) 144, authentication, authorization, accounting server (AAA) 146 and a communication port 148. Although each of the foregoing elements is represented as part of the core network 106, it will be understood that any of these elements may belong to and / or be operated by an entity other than the operator of the core network.
MIP-HA may be responsible for lP address management, and may allow WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102c to have mobility between different ASNs and / or different core networks.
The MIP-HA 144 can provide WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102c with access to packet-switched networks, such as the Internet 110, to facilitate communications between WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C and the permitted IP devices.
The AAA 146 server may be responsible for user authentication and for supporting user services.
Communication port 148 can facilitate interleaving with other networks.
For example, communication port 148 can provide WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102C with access to switched circuit networks, such as PSTN 108, to facilitate communications between WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102C and
5 traditional terrestrial communications devices.
In addition, the communication port - 148 can provide WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C with access to networks 112, which may include other wired or wireless networks that are owned and / or operated by other service providers.
Although not shown in Figure 1E, it will be understood that the
10 RAN 104 can be connected to other ASNS and the core network 106 can be connected to other core networks.
The communication link between RAN 104 and the other ASNS can and can be defined as an R4 reference point, which can include protocols for coordinating the mobility of WTRUS 102a, 102b, 102C between RAN 104 and the other ASNS.
The communication link between the core network 106 and the other core networks
15 can be defined as an R5 reference, which can include protocols for facilitating interlacing between residential core networks and visited core networks.
In various modalities, the communication network 100 can be adapted for transmission and reception of Multiple Coordinated Points (COMP). COMP, in general, can refer to a mode of transmission and reception in which multiple
20 spatially dispersed transmission points (Tx), through some form of coordination, transmit signals (transmissions) to a receiver, such as a WTRU, provided or otherwise equipped to receive such transmissions by coordinated downlink.
As referred to herein, the terms "Tx point" can refer to any antenna port or subset of 0 25 geographically co-located antenna ports that may be transmitting to, or receiving from, the WTRU.
A set of Tx points configured or activated for a given WTRU may or may not belong to the same physical cell identity. The TX point may transmit a channel station information reference signal (CSI-RS) or a set of CSI -LOL.
The TX point can also transmit a specific cell reference signal (CRS) or a set
30 of CRS.
Coordination, in general, includes the coordination of programming and / or transmission parameters, and / or data delivery coordination, between spatially diverse Tx points (or a subset of it). The form of such coordination is, in general, within a plurality of categories defined for CoMP (categories of COMP). The form of coordination, however, can change from one
35 CoMP category to another, as appropriate (for example, depending on the conditions of the channel and / or movement of the WTRU). Examples of the COMP categories can include Joint Processing COMP (JP), Coordinated Beam Formation / Coordinated Programming (CS / CB).
· ~
15/95
JP CoMP can include numerous subcategories, including, for example, Joint Transmission COMP (jT), and dynamic point (or cell) selection (DPS). For any of the JP COMP, JT and DPS COMP, data can be made available at each TX point in a set of
5 COMP cooperation (that is, a set of Tx points that can participate, directly or indirectly, in coordinated downlink transmissions, including, for example, corresponding physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHS) of coordinated downlink transmissions). Under JT COMP, multiple Tx points in the CoMP cooperation set can be programmed to and actively transmit
10 downlink transmissions coordinated in or within a given period of time (for example, simultaneously). The multiple Tx points that actively transmit èj coordinated downlink transmissions (COMP Tx points) can be a subset of or the entire COMP cooperation set.
This transmission method can improve, consistently or not, the signal quality received from the
15 WTRU 102 and / or actively cancel interference for other WTRUs.
Under DPS, each of the coordinated downlink transmissions is programmed and a COMP TX point is confined to the CoMP cooperation set in an instant (for example, each subframe). The TX point selected to be the COMP TX point for DPS coordinate downlink transmissions can change dynamically confined in the set of
20 CoMP cooperation.
For CS / CB, data for CS / CB transmissions can be made available in a server cell for the WTRU 102. The server cell or the server TX point, as sometimes referred to here, can refer to a cell (or TX point of this) adapted to transmit physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or 0 25 enhanced PDCCH assignments (E-PDCCH), and such a cell or TX point can be, for example, a single cell.
Beaming and / or user programming decisions, however, can be made with coordination between the cells that correspond to the CoMP cooperation set.
The WTRU 102 can decode a PDCCH or an E-PDCCH based on knowledge of the antenna port (or set thereof) and
30 associated reference (eg CRS or DM-RS) only, and may not require knowledge of the actual TX point used for the transmission of such signals.
Figure 1F is a block diagram illustrating an exemplifying COMP network 180 for use with a communications system, such as communications system 100. The CoMP 180 network can include a set of
35 COMP 182 cooperation and a CoMP 184 controller. The COMP 182 cooperation set may include spatially diverse Tx points 114a-114d (eg, geographically separate base stations, eNBs, etc.) that can participate, directly or indirectly , in downlink transmissions coordinated to WTRU 102, inclusive,
for example, the formation of one or more PDSCHS of the downlink transmissions coordinated for reception by the WTRU 102. The points Tx 114a-114d can be communicatively coupled to the CoMP controller 184, through, for example, interfaces X2 and / or fast ground cables.
Tx points 114a-114d can define
5 respective cells, namely, server cell 186a of WTRU 102 and non-server cells 186b-186d.
Being a server cell, the server cell 186a (for example, the TX point 114a) can transmit, to the WTRU 102, various information to allow the WTRU 102 to receive coordinated downlink transmissions, such as, for example, PDCCH assignments; downlink control information (DCI); information for 10 signaling so that the WTRU 102 receives the downlink transmissions coordinated from the COMP Tx points, including the CoMP Tx points other than the server cell; and the like.
Tx points 114a-114d can also logically belong to the same cell.
In this case, Tx points 114a-114d can transmit the same set of common reference signals (CRS), but transmit other reference signals (such as, 15 CSI-RS and / or DM-RS) according to specific point parameters .
Tx points 114a-114d can include respective sets of specific cell system parameters that correspond to their respective cells 182a-182d and / or specific point parameters.
Each set of cell-specific system parameters can include, for example, a
20 cell associated with the corresponding cell (cell ID), a time slot index within a radio frame associated with coordinated downlink transmission and / or a scrambling identity (scrambling ID) associated with the corresponding cell (scrambling ID specific cell). A specific point parameter set may include a set of CSI-RS 0 25 configuration parameters, possibly including an identifier for the transmission point.
For non-transparent JP CoMP, points Tx 114a-114d can use their respective sets of specific cell system parameters and / or point specific parameters to generate and transmit coordinated downlink transmissions and associated control information to WTRU 102 For example, the parameters of
30 specific cell systems can be used with various processes to (i) scramble the PDSCH of coordinated downlink transmissions, (ii) determine appropriate use of ports for demodulation reference signals and / or specific EU (collectively "DM- LOL"); (iii) shuffle DM-RS strings; (iv) pre-encode the coordinated and DM-RS downlink transmissions, (v) assign the PDCCH (s) to assign O (S) PDSCH (S)
35 of the coordinated downlink transmissions.
In general, the DM-RS for the PDSCH (s) of the coordinated downlink transmission can be transmitted, from each TX point of COMP, on antenna ports' p = 5, p = 7, p = 8 or p = 7.8, ..., u + 6, where u can be a number of layers used for the transmission of the PDSCH (S). The DM-RS can be present and / or be a valid reference for the VVTRU 102 to use with the demodulation of the PDSCH (S) if the PDSCH (s) of the coordinated downlink transmissions are associated with the Corresponding antenna port (s) r
5 For any of the antenna ports p and {7,8, ..., u + 6}, each CoMP TX point can generate the DM-RS so that the PDSCH (S) (s) use a signal sequence of reference, such as:! QJ ,,, l2N3 "" -1 normal cyclic prefix (1) r (m) = p (1 - 2 - c (2m)) + j — l- (1 - 2 · c (2m + dj m- = D ,, _ ¶2 2 l0, l, ...,] 6NRB] extended cyclic prefix where c (i) is a pseudo-random sequence.
The sequence
10 pseudo-random c (i) can be defined by, for example, a Gold sequence with
The length 31. That Gold sequence with length 31 can be, for example, the Gold sequence with length 31 shown in LTE-A.
The output sequence c (n)
of length Mpn, where n = 0.1, ..., MpN - 1, can be defined by c (n) =! xi (n + Nc) + x, (H + N,)) mod2 (2): r, (n + 3 I) =, x, (n + 3) + x, (n)) mod 'x, (n + 3]) = (x2 (n + 3) + x, (n + 2) + x2 (n +]) + x2 (n)) mod2
15 where n ,. = 1,600, the first m-sequence can be initialized with Xj (0) = i, Xj (n) = O, n = 1,2, ... 30 and the initialization of the second m-sequence g can be denoted by c ,,,, E: °, x, (i) · 2 'with the value depending on the application of the sequence.
A pseudo-random sequence generator for each point
20 COMP TX can be initialized, at the beginning of each subframe, with c ,,, = (n, / 2] + l) · (2N ,: "+1) · 2" + N ,, d, (3)
where NS "corresponds to the cell ID of the TX point of and COMP, and" Lscin corresponds to the scramble ID of the CoMP TX point.
In some embodiments, for antenna ports 7 and 8, the '".scín can be an ID of
25 scrambling specified in DCl associated with the PDSCH (S) of the coordinated downlink transmissions, as, for example, specified in a scrambling ID field of DCl 2B or 2C format.
In other modalities, n scm can be zero for antenna ports 7 or 8, as when there is no DCl 2B or 2C format associated with the PDSCH (s) of the coordinated downlink transmissions.
Nsctn for
30 antenna ports 9 through 14 can also be zero.
In a broader sense, the scrambling initiator for the pseudo-random sequence generator can be expressed with: cm ,, = (n, / 2] +1) · (2X, D +1) · 2 "+ Zd, (4 )
where Xid can match an identity of a
35 set of one or more Tx points, or the physical cell identity of a cell, or a specific parameter for the WTRU, and Yid can correspond to a scrambling identity possibly associated with the set of one or more transmission points.
For example, in some modalities, the WTRU 102 can
5 be configured with one or more values for parameter X | d which can be specific to the WTRU involved 102. Each of the values of X, d can be part of a set of reception parameters that I use when receiving a transmission by coordinated downlink.
WTRU 102 can select the value according to other methods described here, such as those described for selecting a set of
10 reception for use in receiving a coordinated downlink transmission.
The WTRU 102 can then use the selected value for X | d (for example, instead of NÊ "'), Um and the configured values for X, d can also correspond to the identity of a specific cell.
For example, parameter X, [, can correspond to a
15 configuration, or a set of parameters, associated with one or more transmission points, as a parameter part of or associated with, a non-zero power CSI-RS configuration. This can also correspond to a parameter also used in the calculation of the scrambling initiator for this non-zero power CSI-RS configuration. 20 For example, in some modalities, WTRU 102 can be configured with one or more values for the Yid parameter that can be specific to the WTRU involved.
Each of the Yid values can be part of a set of reception parameters for use in receiving a coordinated downlink transmission.
WTRU 102 can select the value according to other methods described here 0 25, such as those described for selecting a set of reception parameters for use in receiving a coordinated downlink transmission.
WTRU 102 can then use the selected value for Yid (for example, instead of 'Sczd). The VVTRÜ 102, in various modes, can be configured with one or more values for Yid only for some antenna ports.
A parameter Yid value can be
30 expressed as a sum of a specific point parameter or specific UE (for example, similar to X | d) and the nscíD parameter that can take one of the values 0 or 1. For example, in some modalities, WTRU 102 can dynamically select a set of reception parameters for use in receiving a coordinated downlink transmission in a given subframe, according to
35 methods described here, including reception of explicit signaling information and / or implicit selection methods and / or based on which parameter receiving set is activated in the subframe involved.
The WTRU 102 can possibly use different combinations for X | [) and Yid from one subframe to another. This can have the benefit of introducing a possibility for the programming network, in a flexible way, different sets of WTRUs with the use of orthogonal DM-RS when necessary. Orthogonal DM-RS can be scrambled using the same pair of X, d and Yid parameters for the scrambling initiator. For example, a pair of WTRUs that are 5 relatively close to a given TX point can use the same pair of Xd and Yid parameters when coprogrammed into the same subframe and resource block. A general process for shuffling each PDSCH of downlink transmissions coordinated using specific cell system parameters can be as follows. For each codeword, a block of bits 10 b (q) (0), ..., b (') (Mg) -1), where K it can be the number of bits in the code word q transmitted on the physical channel in a subframe, it can be scrambled before and modification, resulting in a block of scrambled bits 6 (') (0), ..., K (') (m {:,) 1) according to: j (q) (i) = (b (q) (i) + c (q) (i)) mod2, (5) 15 where the shuffling sequence c ( ') (i) can be derived. The scramble sequence generator for each COMP TX point can be initialized at the beginning of each subframe with an initialization value "nn. This initialization value" 'n "may depend on the type of transport channel, such as: c,, ir · 2 "+ q · 2" + jn, / 2J · 2 '+ NÊ' "" for PDSCH (6) "n, / 2J · 2 '+ iV;'" "or PMCH '20 where JYÊ '"' can match the cell ID of the COMP TX point, and" RNTI can match a temporary radio network identifier (RNTI) associated with the PDSCH (S) of the coordinated downlink transmissions. Up to two code words can be transmitted in a subframe, that is, q and {0.1}. In a single code word transmission example, q can equal zero.
25 In a broader sense, in some modalities, the value used for the parameter NÊ '"' may correspond to the same value used for the parameter X | d. A general process for assigning PDCCH using the system parameters cell-specific can be performed according to the following 30. A control region of a subframe k of coordinate downlink transmissions can include a set of control channel elements (CCES) .These CCES can be numbered from 0 to NCCE , k -1, where NCCE, k can be a number of CCES in the control region of subframe K. WTRU 102 can monitor PDCCHS at least for subframes for which WTRU 102 is in Discontinuous Reception Active Time 35 (DRX) , where monitoring may imply an attempt to decode each of the PDCCHs in the set according to all monitored DCl formats.

The CoMP controller modules
5 can exchange information directly, through fast terrestrial cables and / or X2 interfaces; or indirectly through the COMP 184 controller. This information can be used to facilitate the configuration of the Tx 114a-114d points for COMP, and / or to facilitate the coordination and / or programming of downlink transmissions coordinated from the Tx 114a-114d points for WTRU 102. 10 The information exchanged between the COMP controller modules, directly or indirectly, may include configuration information for the selection (for example, dynamically) of the CoMP 182 cooperation set, of the COMP Tx points for coordinated downlink transmissions.
The information can also include, for example, scheduling information for scheduling
15 of the COMP Tx points for JMP and / or DPS CoMP, as appropriate.
C) COMP controller modules can also obtain and / or configure each of the Tx 114a-114d points (or at least each of the CoMP Tx points) with a set of common system parameters and / or specific point parameters .
The common parameter set can be used by points Tx 114a
20 114d to generate and transmit coordinated downlink transmissions.
In some embodiments, the common set of parameters used by each of the CoMP Tx points can make the coordinated downlink transmissions from such different COMP Tx points appear to emanate from the same source (for example, the use of different Tx points from COMP can be transparent to WTRU 102, and the
The demodulation of the PDSCH (s) can be transparent as in single cell MIMO in LTE, for example). For example, common system parameters may include, for example, a common DM-RS sequence, a set of
Common DM-RS (ie antenna), a common identifier (common ID), a common interval number and / or a common scramble ID (common scramble ID). Each of the common system parameters can be based on an arbitrary number, for example.
During the use of common system parameters, the pseudo-random sequence generator used for the generation of DM-RS at each TX point of COMP can be initialized at the beginning of each subframe with: C, n ,, _ (r3cTum] + 1) · (2ATLb "'" "+ I) - 2'6 + n.SCIDLomam. (9)

20 downl nk coordinate In one or more modalities, N, @ "" "'can also correspond to the parameter X | d.
As described in greater detail below, the common set of system parameters can be signaled to WTRU 102 using
A combination of physical layer and / or upper layer signaling, or, alternatively, information for signaling to the WTRU to select and / or determine the common set of system parameters for use in receiving the coordinated downlink transmission can be transmitted for WTRU 102. Such transmission of information and / or signaling can occur, for example, when the CoMP cooperation set is configured or reconfigured.
In response to such
30 signaling, WTRU 102 can be aware of which JP COMP is applied to each programmed PDSCH, and Tx points can program the PDSCH using the PDCCH assignment process described above.
The TX point can modify the parameter set (for example, the common set of system parameters) used for PDSCH scrambling depending on which WTRU or set of WTRUs is transmitting in a specific subframe or resource block.
Other examples of the common set of system parameters may include the specific cell set of server cell system parameters (server cell system parameters); a set of system parameters based on the COMP cooperation set (CoMP set system parameters): a set of system parameters based, at least in part, on the server cell system parameters and system parameters 5 set of CoMP; a set of system parameters based, at least in part, on the specific cell set of system parameters of the COMP Tx points other than the serving cell (non-serving cell Tx point system parameters); a set of system parameters based, at least in pade, on the server cell system parameters, on the 10 CoMP set system parameters and on the non-server cell Tx point system parameters; and combinations of it. The common set of system parameters can also include other parameters. ê) CoMP pool system parameters can include, for example, a common DM-RS string, a common set of DM-RS ports, an identifier associated with the COMP cooperation set (CoMP pool ID ), a time slot index within a radio frame associated with coordinated downlink transmission and / or a scrambling ID associated with the COMP cooperating set (scrambling Comp set ID).

In several ways NC0MFsg ¢ "'dl" dd, ld can match the parameter X | d, and "SCID, CoMp" "'can match the parameter Yid.

In several modalities, NG ° "" 'can also correspond to the parameter X | d.
CoMP pool system parameters can be signaled to the WTRU 102 using a combination of physical layer and / or upper layer signaling, or alternatively information for signaling to the WTRU to select and / or determine the parameters of the Comp set system for use in the reception of the coordinated downlink transmission can be transmitted 5 to the WTRU 102. Such transmission of information and / or signaling can occur, for example, when the COMP cooperation set is configured or reconfigured.
In response to such signaling, WTRU 102 can be aware of which JP COMP is applied to each programmed PDSCH, and Tx points can program PDSCH using the PDCCH assignment process described above. Any of the points Tx 10 can modify the set of parameters (for example, the system parameters of the Comp set, or the set of system parameters correspond to the "common set" or "COMP set" system parameters. ) used for PDSCH scrambling depending on which WTRU or set of WTRUS is transmitting in a specific subframe and resource block.
15 The server cell system parameters can include, for example, a common DM-RS sequence, a set of common DM-RS ports (ie, antenna), the cell ID, a time slot index within radio frame associated with coordinated downlink transmission and / or the scrambling ID of the server cell. When using the 20 seNidor cell system parameters, the pseudo-random sequence generator used for the generation of DM-RS in : T '=' q: l '"" Xí ¥ a', "'" ¶ and ° 11 - , $ ¶2i [¢ jd '* qanQ t "f': . ¶ÈÉ" + "%", , 'D: 2'a:!' :, d'o :: '(13) ¶ where n "céíu.

When using the server cell system parameters, the scramble sequence generator used by the COMP Tx points for PDSCH scrambling can be initialized at the beginning of 30 each subframe with: Cj ,, j, = nRNTl · 2 "+ q .2l3 + Ln, éI,] ase, vjd ,,, / 2 J: 29 + NÊuIaseNido'a for PDSCH, (14) ce> j ta servoraora where 'VlD can correspond to the server cell ID of the Tx points of COMP, nR ,, iwfas6'rµ'Go "a can correspond to the time interval index within a radio frame associated with downlink transmission 35 coordinated, and "RNTI can correspond to RNTR of WTRU 102 to receive PDSCH from rCéíü íG & e7" Uídgra, transmission by coordinated downlink. In various modalities, NlD can also correspond to the X, d of parameter.
To facilitate the use of cell system parameters
7 / '
26/95 server as the common system parameters, the server cell 182a can forward the server cell system parameters (for example, its cell ID and its subframe or Time slot index within a radio frame) to the other points Tx in the COMP cooperation set, The server cell 182a can accomplish this, for example, when the COMP cooperation set is configured.
The server cell ID and subframe or Time slot index can be forwarded via the X2 interface. The server cell ID can be acquired during X2 configuration, for example, using an X2 SETUP procedure, between cells or during an X2 configuration update procedure. 10 Alternatively, the other Tx 114b-114d points in the CoMP 182 cooperation set can acquire the information from a server cell ID through and cell planning or other signaling, for example through the COMP controller modules.
The COMP 184 controller can be a centralized COMP 15 controller, as shown, or alternatively, a distributed CoMP controller, such as, for example, a stand-alone distributed COMP controller.
The COMP 184 controller can minimize interference by coordinating the scheduling of coordinated downlink transmissions confined to the cells, and / or by actively suppressing interference using signal processing techniques.
In COMP signal processing, the coordinated downlink transmissions for each WTRU 102, from the Cox Tx points, can be weighted to minimize interference, maximize productivity and / or maximize SINR of comp mode transmissions received in tat WTRU 102a .
Coordinated transmissions can allow the comp 180 network to achieve high spectral efficiencies. êíi 25 The WTRU 102 can be configured with one or more sets of parameters; each of them can correspond to a DM-RS.
The WTRU 102 can use one or more of the parameter sets to receive the PDSCH (s) of the coordinated downlink transmissions.
Each parameter set can include, for example, an antenna port index, initialization values for the DM-RS generator, a transmission mode and / or a scramble ID that can be used (in addition to a cell or a common ID) to initialize a DM-RS sequence.
This scrambling ID can be, for example, any one of a scrambling ID configured by upper layers (e.g. RRC), a WTRU 102 identity, an RNTI, a server cell ID, etc.
The server cell ID 35 can be, for example, a servCe /// D used by the RRC to identify the server cell, or a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) that can be used by the physical layer to identify the server cell, the which the server cell can be associated with a given set of parameters, for example, with a specific DM-RS.
In a
- * r '
27/95 mode, the parameter set can be similar to a server cell (or a PDSCH) of the WTRU configuration.
As used herein, the term PDCCH can include an E-PDCCH.
Although four Tx points, namely, the Tx points 114a-114d,
5 are shown in Figure 1, the CoMP 180 network, however, can include more than a small number of Tx points.
In addition, the COMP 180 network may include one or more remote radio equipment (RRES) instead of, or in addition to, Tx points 114a-114d.
Each RRES can include a single or multiple antennas; any of them can be communicatively coupled to the COMP 184 controller
10 and be made available as a TX point for COMP broadcasts.
In addition, the COMP 184 controller can coordinate the Tx points to allow multiple COMP transmissions to the WTRU 102. In addition, the COMP 180 network transmission can include a distributed COMP controller and a centralized CoMP controller. question of simplicity of exposure in the present
15 document, it can be assumed that all the antennas of the Tx points 114a-114d can be communicatively coupled to the COMP 184 controller, and available for use as- the Tx points for coordinated downlink transmissions.
In some examples, less than the total before the TX point in any one cell or multiple cells can be used as the Tx points for downlink transmissions
20 coordinates.
In other examples, two Olj plus TX point antennas in any cell can be used as a single TX point for coordinated downlink transmission (for example, for multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) operation) in various method and method from the device to 0 25 reception by shared channel of downlink transmission in cooperative multipoint transmissions revealed here, suggested and / or taught, innumerable terms can be used in relation to the reception and transmission of CoMP.
These terms can be described in relation to, or in accordance with, LTE and / or LTE-A, for the sake of simplicity of exposure.
As an example, the term "CoMP set" can be used
30 refer to any one of an operational set of COMP, a set of Tx points of COMP and a set of measurement of COMP.
The CoMP measurement set can be a set of cells for which channel status and / or statistical information is reported.
Channel status / statistics information can be related to links between WTRU 102 and one or more Tx 114a-114d points in the set
35 CoMP 182 cooperation set. In some examples, the CoMP measurement set may be the same as the COMP 182 cooperation set. Actual WTRU reports may include feedback to a subset of cells in the CoMP182 measurement set. These cells can be considered reactive cells.
Exemplifying Operation Figure 2 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplifying process 200 for performing a co-coordinated multipoint transmission (COMP) of joint processing (JP). The process 200 of Figure 2 is described with reference to the 5 Figures 1A-1F for the sake of ease of exposure. Process 200 can also be performed using other architectures. Process 200 can be used for various non-transparent JP CoMP transmission schemes, and to allow WTRU 102 to determine that an upcoming downlink transmission is not a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from a TX point of COMP that is not the WTRU 102 server cell. The determination that the upcoming downlink transmission is a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from a COMP TX point other than the server cell (cell COMP TX point non-server) may allow the WTRU 102 to correctly receive such transmission via a non-transparent coordinated downlink 15. Receiving the incoming downlink transmission from the non-server cell CoMP TX point can include any of (i) receiving multiplexed signals by orthogonal time and domain frequency division (OFDM) for a set of antenna ports, (ii) converting the time and domain OFDM signals to the set of antenna ports forming corresponding modulation symbols for the set of antenna ports, (iii) performing decoding of any pre-coding of the modulation symbols to the set of antenna antenna ports, (iv) perform layer mapping to map the pre-coded modulation symbols for the set of antenna ports in relation to a set of transmission layers that correspond to the set of antenna ports; (v) demodulating the modulated symbols forming scrambled 0 25 bits, (vi) unscrambling the scrambled bits forming coded bits of one or more code words, and (vii) forming the codeword from the scrambled coded bits. As shown in process block 202, information for signaling to WTRU 102 to receive a downlink transmission from the non-server cell CoMP TX point can be transmitted to WTRU 102. This signaling information can be transmitted from TX point 114a of the server cell. TX 114a can transmit signaling information using implicit and / or explicit signaling, such as, for example, layer 1 (Ll), layer 2 (L2) and / or layer 3 (L3) signaling .
35 Alternatively, TX point 114a can transmit signaling information in a control region of a downlink control channel (for example, a PDCCH) for which WTRU 102 can be configured to perform blind detection. The downlink control channel can be associated with the downlink transmission.

As shown in process block 204, signaling information can be received at WTRU 102. WTRU 102 can, for example, receive signaling information by means of implicit signaling and / or explicit signaling.
Alternatively, the WTRU 102 can perform blind detection of
5 control region in order to obtain signaling information (which can be any of an 'implicit and explicit' indication). Obtaining signaling information can include WTRU 102 receiving and / or decoding downlink control (DCl) information. For example, signaling information can be based, at least in part, on
10 on one or more characteristics, resources, attributes, etc. (collectively, "features") of the received DCIs and / or decoded DCIs.
For the WTRU 102
0 obtaining the signaling information, the WTRU 102 can first receive and / or decode the DCl, and then recognize or otherwise interpret the characteristics of the received DCl and / or the decoded DCI.
As another example,
15 signaling information may be based, at least in part, on information associated with, included in, identified by, and / or referenced by the received and / or decoded DCl.
As previously, WTRU 102 may, first, receive and / or decode DCl, and then recognize or otherwise interpret such information associated with, included in, identified by and / or referenced by DCl
20 received and / or decoded in order to obtain the JP CoMP indication.
Examples of signaling information may include any of (i) information and / or an indication (collectively, "information") based, at least in part, on a resource allocation for the decoded DCl, such as an Index of a (for example, first) control channel element (CCE) of the 0 25 DCl received: (ii) information based, at least in part, on a physical resource block assignment received on the decoded DCIs for a given physical downlink transmission (for example, a PDSCH): (iii) information based, at least in part, on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space for decoded DCl; (iv) information based, at least in part, on an RNTI
30 used to shuffle decoded DCI; (V) information based, at least in part, on an explicit signaling of a set of parameters in DCl; (vi) information based, at least in part, on a DCl size that can be decoded on a PDCCH; (vii) information based, at least in part, on DM-RS port indexes signaled within DCl that can be decoded in
35 is a PDCCH; (viii) information based, at least in part, on a number of Tx points; (ix) information based, at least in part, on the carrier indicator within DCÍ that can be decoded in a PDCCH; (X) information based, at least in part, on the HARQ process identifier from among DCI that can be decoded in a PDCCH; (xi) information based, at least in part, on the activation status of the one or more set of reception parameters of the WTRU configuration that corresponds to the subframe for which the PDCCH was decoded; and (xii)
similar. 5 Signaling information can be obtained by WTRU 102 in at least one of the following ways.
For information based, at least in part, on a resource allocation for the decoded DCl, WTRU 102 can receive and decode the DCl, and then can interpret the resource allocation for the decoded DCl as an implicit signaling of the
10 signaling information.
For information based, at least in part, on a physical resource block assignment received in the decoded DCI, WTRU 102
C3 can receive and decode DCI, and then can interpret the physical resource block assignment as the implied signal.
For information based, at least in part, on the
15 PDCCH search space for decoded DCIs, WTRU 102 can receive and decode DCl, and then can interpret a feature of the PDCCH search space as implicit signaling.
For example, WTRU 102 can interpret a range of CCES in a specific WTRU research space (WTRU-SS) where valid DCl are received as the implicit signal, as long as multiple (possibly
20 not overlapping) WTRU-SS can be defined for WTRU 102. Alternatively, WTRU 102 can interpret a WTRU-SS identity where valid DCl are received as the implicit signal, as long as multiple (possibly not overlapping) WTRU-SS can be defined for WTRU 102. Like other alternatives, WTRU 102 can interpret a range of CCES in a common search space from 0 25 to WTRU 102 where valid DCl are received and / or a common search space identity for the WTRU 102 where the DCl valid as the implicit signaling.
For the indication of information based, at least in part, on the RNTI used to scramble the decoded DCl, the WTRU 102 can
30 receive DCl.
Therefore, the WTRU 102 can select, from a pIurality of RNTIS provided in WTRU 102 (specific WTRU RNTIS) for decoding the DCl received in the PDCCH, specific WTRU RNTI designated for JP COMP transmissions.
Then, WTRU 102 can attempt to decode DCIs using the selected specific WTRU RNTI, and interpret a successful DCl decoding
35 received with the use of specific WTRU RNTIs selected as the implicit signaling.
As an alternative, WTRU 102 can receive DCl.
WTRU 102 can then attempt to iteratively decode received DCIs using the plurality of specific WTRU RNTIs and interpret received DCls as successfully decoded with the specified WTRU RNTIs designated for CoMP transmissions of JP as the implicit signaling.
For information based, at least in part, on an explicit signaling of a set of parameters in the received DCl and
5 decoded, WTRU 102 can receive and decode DCl that have one or more indicator bits to indicate JP COMP transmission, obtain a value for the indicator bits (value of indicator bits), and then can interpret the indicator bits as an explicit signal to receive the incoming downlink transmission from the non-server cell CoMP TX point, provided that the value of indicator bits is
10 indicative of a JP COMP transmission.
For information based, at least in part, on a DCl size that can be decoded on a PDCCH,
C3 to WTRU 102 can receive and decode DCl, determine the DCl size (DCI size), and then interpret the DCl size as the implicit signal, as long as the DCl size is indicative of a JP COMP transmission .
The size of DCl
15 may be indicative of a COMP transmission from JP, for example, if it differs from a DCI size used for transmission without COMP.
For information based, at least in part, on DM-RS port indexes signaled from within DCl that can be decoded on a PDCCH, WTRU 102 can receive and decode DCl, obtain port indexes
20 of DM-RS signaled within the decoded DCI, and then interpret the DM-RS port indexes obtained as explicit signaling to receive the downlink transmission that is coming from the non-cell CoMP TX point.
The signaled indices can be in accordance with any one of (i) DM-RS port indices for all or part of the data and / or all or some code words; and / or b) 0 25 DM-RS port indices for each TX point or the entire set of Tx points.
For information based, at least in part, on the number of Tx points, the WTRU 102 can receive, in the downlink control signaling (for example, DCI format) used for COMP operation, the bits of information that can correspond to the following information: a) numerous points of transmission
30 other than the serving cell; and b) DM-RS port indexes.
The DM-RS port indexes can be for all data or each code word.
Alternatively, the DM-RS port indices can be for each TX point or each set of Tx points.
For information based, at least in part, on the carrier indicator within DCl that can be decoded on a PDCCH, WTRU 102 can receive and decode the DCl, obtain the carrier indicator value signaled within the decoded DCl, and , then, interpret the carrier indicator values obtained as explicit signaling to receive the downlink transmission that is coming from the TX point of the non-server cell COMP. The signaled carrier indicator value can be in accordance with the WTRU 102 configuration that associates the value with a set of reception parameters for use in the reception of a coordinated downlink transmission in a given subframe. 5 For information based, at least in part, on the HAfQ process identifier among DCl that can be decoded on a PDCCH, WTRU 102 can receive and decode the DCl, obtain the HARQ process identifier signaled within the decoded DCl, and, then, to interpret the HARQ process identifier obtained as explicit signaling to receive the downlink transmission that is coming from the non-server cell CoMP TX point. The signaled HARQ process identifier can be in accordance with the WTRU 102 configuration which associates the value with a set of reception parameters for use in the reception of a coordinated downlink transmission in a given subframe. 15 For information based, at least in part, on the activation state of the one or more set of reception parameters of the WTRU configuration that corresponds to the subframe for which the PDCCH was decoded, WTRU 102 can receive and decode the DCl, obtaining the corresponding PDCCH timing is / or an activation and / or deactivation indication for an associated set of reception parameters, and then interpret the information obtained as explicit signaling to receive the downlink transmission that is coming from the point Non-server cell COMP TX. The associated set of reception parameters can be provided in the DCl involved or in different DCl, for example, as indicated by the carrier indicator. WTRU 102 can determine which set of 0 25 reception parameters is activated for the corresponding subframe timing and use of the involved set of parameters for reception of a coordinated downlink transmission in a given subframe. The details of a PDCCH for assigning PDSCH may depend on the specific CoMP scheme applied. Two examples for a PDCCH model are described below. In one of these examples, a DCl format (sometimes referred to here as DCl IF format) can be used to support pre-coding JP CoMP (open steel based on space frequency block coding (SFBC). exemplifiers of the DCl 1F format that can be used to support JMP CoMP with different data are listed in Table 5 (below).

CRC Table 6 After obtaining the signaling information, the upcoming coordinated downlink transmission can be transmitted to WTRU 102 using the non-server cell CoMP TX point, as shown in process block 206. The transmission downlink coordinate of the non-sowing cell COMP TX point can be received on WTRU 102, as shown in process block 208. As noted above, the reception of the upcoming downlink transmission can include any of (i) receiving multiplexed signals by division of
5 time and domain orthogonal frequency (OFDM) for a set of antenna ports, (ii) converting the time and domain OFDM signals for the set of antenna ports into corresponding modulation symbols for the set of antenna ports, ( iil) perform decoding of any pre-coding of the modulation symbols for the set of antenna ports, (iv) perform layer mapping to map the 10 de-pre-coded modulation symbols for the set of antenna ports in relation to a set of tiered transmission corresponding to the set of doorways

The selection of the set of
20 reception parameters can be based on the signaling information for signaling to the WTRU 102 to receive a downlink transmission that is coming from the non-server cell COMP TX point.

Figure 3 is a flow chart illustrating an example process 300 for performing a COMP transmission from JP.
Process 300 of
Figure 3 is described with reference to Figures' 1A-1F, for the sake of ease of exposure.
Process 300 can also be performed using other architectures.
Process 300 can be used for various non-transparent JP CoMP transmission schemes to allow WTRU 102 to select a set of
5 parameters to be used to receive a downlink transmission coordinated from a JP COMP transmission.
As described in greater detail below, WTRU 102 obtains the set of parameters by acquiring the signaling information.
Process 300 can be used for a variety of
10 non-transparent JP CoMP transmission, and to allow WTRU 102 to determine that an upcoming downlink transmission is a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from a non-server CoMP TX point.
The determination that the upcoming downlink transmission is a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from the cell CoMP TX point
15 non-server can allow WTRU 102 to correctly receive and / or decode such transmission by non-transparent coordinated downlink.
Process 300 in Figure 3 is similar to process 200 in Figure 2, except as described herein.
Upon receipt of signaling information (block 204), WTRU 102 can determine a set of reception parameters for use in receiving the coordinated downlink transmission that is coming from the non-server based cell CoMP TX point, at least in part, in the signaling information received, as shown in process block 302. WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters by, for example, selecting the set of reception parameters, from the plurality of sets of reception parameters é3 25 provided on the WTRU, based on either (i) a DCI character received on a downlink control channel associated with the upcoming downlink transmission, and (ii) a DCI characteristic decoded on the control channel downlink associated with the upcoming downlink transmission.
Alternatively, WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters by selecting 30 thereof, from a plurality of sets of parameters provided in the WTRU, based on any of (i) information associated with the DCl received on a channel downlink control associated with the coming downlink transmission, (ii) information referenced by the received DCl, (iii) information associated with the decoded DCl into a downlink control channel associated with the coming 35 downlink transmission, ( iv) information contained within the decoded DCl, (v) information identified by the decoded DCl and (vi) information referenced by the decoded DCl.

5 After determining the set of reception parameters, the coordinated downlink transmission of the non-cell cell CoMP TX point can be received on the WTRU 102 using such a set of reception parameters, as shown in process block 208. Upon reception, the received coordinated downlink transmission can be decoded by WTRU 102, as shown in process block 210. After process block 210, process 300 can be and terminated. Alternatively, process 300 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, such as an occurrence of additional coordinated downlink transmissions. As another alternative, process blocks 306 and 208-210 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, in order to cause additional reception of coordinated downlink transmissions. Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary process 400 for performing a JP CoMP transmission. The process 400 of Figure 4 is described with reference to Figures 1A-1F, for the sake of ease of exposure. Process 400 can also be performed using other architectures. Process 400 can be used for various non-transparent JP COMP transmission schemes to allow WTRU 102 to select and / or determine the set of reception parameters for use in receiving a transmission by 0 25 coordinate downl'nk of a JP CoMP transmission The 400 process can be used for various non-transparent JP COMP transmission schemes, and to allow the VVTRU 400 to determine that an upcoming downlink transmission is a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from a non-server cell COMP TX point 30. The determination that the upcoming downlink transmission is a non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission from the non-cell COMP TX TX point may allow the WTRU 102 to receive and / or correctly decode such non-transparent coordinated downlink transmission. Process 400 in Figure 4 is similar to processes 200, 300 in Figures 2, 3 respectively, except as described herein. After transmitting the signaling information (block 202), the signaling information to WTRU 102 to select a set of reception parameters for use in receiving a downlink transmission that is coming from the TX point of non-server cell Comp they can be transmitted to WTRU 102, as shown in process block 402. This reception parameter signaling information can be transmitted from point TX 114a of the server cell.
TX point 114a can transmit signaling information from
5 reception parameter using implicit and / or explicit signaling, such as, for example, L1, L2 and / or L3 signaling. Alternatively, TX point 114a can transmit the reception parameter signaling information in a control region of a downlink control channel (for example, a PDCCH) for which the WTRU 102 can be configured to perform blind detection. 10 Upon receipt of signaling information (block 204), reception parameter signaling information can be received on and WTRU 102, as shown in process block 404. WTRU 102 can, for example, receive signaling information of reception parameter by means of implicit signaling and / or explicit signaling.
Alternatively, the WTRU 102 can
15 perform blind detection of the control region in order to obtain the signaling information of the reception parameter (which can be any of an implicit and explicit indication). The receiving parameter signaling information can be the same information as the signaling information for signaling to the WTRU 102 to receive a downlink transmission that is coming from the COMP TX point
20 of non-server cell.
In such a case, the reception parameter signaling information can be sent and received with such signaling information.
Alternatively, the receiving parameter signaling information may differ from such information, as described in more detail below.
As shown in process block 406, WTRU 102 0 25 can determine the set of reception parameters for use in receiving the coordinated downlink transmission coming from the non-server based cell CoMP TX point, at least in part, in the received parameter signaling information received.
The WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters by, for example, selecting the set of reception parameters
30 reception, the pIurality of sets of reception parameters provided in the WTRU, as described above in relation to the process block 302 of Figure 3. Alternatively, the WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters for decoding the corresponding PDSCH transmission with based on the timing of the subframe where the PDSCH transmission occurs.
Timing can be set
35 with the use of at least one of a frame number, a subframe number, a periodicity and / or a deviation.
WTRU 102 can also determine the set of reception parameters based on the type of subframe, where the type of subframe can be one of at least one specific subset of Multimedia Broadcast / Broadcast Service.
Multiple Diffusion (MBMS) via Single Frequency Network subframe (MBSFN), Almost Blank Subframe (ABS), or "normal" subframe (for example, neither MBSFN nor ABS), As another alternative, WTRU 102 can also determine the set of reception parameters based on a carrier frequency of the
5 PDSCH transmission (or carrier index or cell index): The WTRU can determine the set of reception parameters (for example, a reference signal) for use in decoding a corresponding PDSCH transmission based on an identity applicable to the PDSCH transmission involved.
For example, the WTRU can receive referral
10 explicit server cell ID (for example, corresponding to a servCe /// D used by RRC to identify the server cell, and / or a CIF that can be used by
The physical layer to identify the serving cell). For example, a set of parameters (for example, a reference signal) can be associated with a CIF value in a DCI DCI format. 15 The WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters (and / or other signaling information) based on the reception of a Media Access Control Element (MAC), for example, instead of DCI received in a PDCCH.
For example, WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters based on a state associated with one or more PDCCH (S). THE
For example, WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters (and / or to receive the coordinated downlink transmission) based on the most recently received DCl in a PDCCH, where at least one DCI field indicates the set of reception parameters for use until another Indication is provided.
Alternatively, the WTRU can determine the set of reception parameters (and / or '6 25 to receive the coordinated downlink transmission) based on the reception of a MAC control element, where at least one field of the MAC CE indicates the set of reception parameters for use until another indication is provided.
As another example, WTRU 102 can determine the set of reception parameters (and / or to receive the coordinated downlink transmission) based on an activation state for the corresponding parameter set (for example, which corresponds to a signal of reference). The WTRU 102 can associate the set of reception parameters with an activation state that can indicate whether such a set of parameters is activated or deactivated for the PDSCH involved.
The WTRU 102 can receive control signaling which causes the WTRU 102 to activate and / or 35 disable one or more parameter sets for one or more PDSCH of the WTRU 102 configuration. The control signal received by the WTRU 102 can include one of at least one of the following.
The signaling received can be L1 signaling, where WTRU 102 can receive DCl in a PDCCH that indicates activation or deactivation of the set of reception parameters for one or more PDSCH (S) - The indication received can be in accordance with at least one of the as follows: (i) the WTRU 102 can
5 successfully decode DCl using configured RNTI, where RNTI correspond to the set of reception parameters and / or a given PDSCH; and (ii) the WTRU that determines that DCl are of a certain type and / or includes an explicit indication (for example, a field and / or tag and / or any other indication) that allows WTRU 102 to determine how to decode q PDSCH involved, for example,
10 possibly according to other methods described herein.
The WTRU can transmit an Automatic Retry Request acknowledgment (ACK) feedback
0 Hybrid (HARQ) to recognize the reception of DCl interpreted as the activation / deactivation command.
For example, for signaling DCl received in subframe n, WTRU 102 can transmit ACK of HARQ on an uplink channel in subframe n + k,
15 where k can represent a WTRU processing delay, for example, k = 4 subframes.
The signaling received can be L2 signaling, where the WTRU can receive a MAC Control Element (CE) that indicates activation and / or deactivation of the set of reception parameters for one or more PDSCH.
The EC of
20 MAC can be received in any PDSCH of the WTRU 102 configuration. The WTRU 102 can activate or deactivate the parameter sets that correspond to the PDSCH involved based on an explicit indication (for example, a bitmap, or an antenna port) ) included in the MAC CE.
Alternatively, WTRU 102 can activate (or deactivate) the set of reception parameters corresponding to the PDSCH 6 25 involved in which the MAC CE was received, activating (or deactivating) others (for example, the next one) set of reception parameters in, for example, a sequence.
The signaling received can be signaling L3, where WTRU 102 can receive the configuration for one or more sets of
30 reception for a given PDSCH, whereby the standard set can be placed in the activated state.
The activation (or deactivation) of the use of the standard (or following) reception parameter set for a given PDSCH can be applied immediately (for example, in the case of layer 1 signaling) or possibly after a fixed delay of for example, k subframes (for example, in the case of layer 2/3 signaling). To the
35 signaling of layer 2 received in subframe n, for example, WTRU 102 can consider the set of reception parameters in the enabled (or disabled) state of subframe n + k, where k can be equal to 8 subframes; alternatively, in the subframe after the transmission of an HARQ ACK to the transport block in which the
MAC was received.
The WTRU may additionally delay using a next set of reception parameters for a given HARQ process in progress until the HARQ process ends successfully and / or until the control signal received indicates a new data transmission ( for example, the New
5 Data - NDI field in DCI format). After determining the set of reception parameters, the upcoming coordinated downlink transmission can be transmitted to WTRU 102 using the non-server cell COMP TX point, as shown in process block 206. Transmission by point coordinate downlink
10 Non-server cell COMP TX can be received on WTRU 102 using the determined set of reception parameters, as shown in process block 306. After reception, the received coordinated downlink transmission can be decoded by WTRU 102 , as shown in process block 210. After process block 210, process 400 can be
15 finished.
Alternatively, process 400 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, such as an occurrence of additional coordinated downlink transmissions.
Alternatively, process blocks 206, 306 and 210 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, in order to
20 cause additional reception of coordinated downlink transmissions.
Figure 5 is a flow chart illustrating an example process 500 for performing a COMP transmission.
Process 500 can also be performed using other architectures.
Process 500 can be applicable to various CoMP schemes, such as JT CoMP schemes with the same data 0 25 (including, for example, system frame number (SFN) pre-encoding and / or hollow pre-encoding | / g | oba |) or different data across transmission points, open loop JT COMP and dynamic cell selection based COMP schemes.
The process 500 of Figure 5 is described with reference to Figures 1A-1F, for the sake of ease of exposure.
Process 500 can also be performed using
30 other architectures, As noted above, the DM-RS port indexes and the strings used for PDSCH (s) can be (pre) configured in a semi-static way or dynamically signaled using the PDCCH.
In some example, as detailed above, WTRU 102 can decode PDCCH to obtain DM-RS Indices and sequence information for demodulation- 35 As shown in process block 502, a WTRU 102 serving cell and a COMP COMP TX point non-server cell can be configured with common system parameters.
Common system parameters can be, for example, any of the examples provided above.
Therefore, the non-server cell COMP TX point can generate a downlink transmission coordinated using the common system parameters, as shown in process block 504. As shown in process block 506, the
5 signaling information for signaling to the WTRU 102 to receive a coordinated downlink transmission coming from the non-server cell COMP TX point can be transmitted to the WTRU 102. Therefore, the signaling information can be received at the WTRU 102, as shown in process block 508. WTRU 102 can then determine a set of
10 reception for receiving the coordinated downlink transmission to come.
The set of reception parameters can be determined and / or selected based on
€) in the indicative signaling of the non-server cell COMP point TX, the server cell and other Tx points of the COMP cooperation set using the common system parameters to generate coordinated downlink transmissions, such as
15 described above, for example.
The non-server cell COMP TX point can transmit the coordinated downlink transmission, as shown in process block 512. Therefore, the WTRU 102 can receive the coordinated downlink transmission using the determined set of reception parameters, as
20 shown in process block 514. Upon receipt, the received coordinate downlink transmission can be decoded by WTRU 102, as shown in process block 516. After process block 516, process 500 can be terminated.
Alternatively, process 500 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, such as an occurrence of additional coordinated downlink transmissions.
As another alternative, process blocks 512-516 can be repeated periodically, continuously, or by triggering as a result of a condition, in order to cause additional reception of coordinated downlink transmissions. 30 Process 500 can be performed for each CoMP TX point in the CoMP 182 cooperation set. Each CoMP TX point for a WTRU can use the common DM-RS sequence and the same DM-RS ports as other Tx points of the COMP 182 co-operation set. As an example, the pseudo-random 35 sequence generators at each COMP TX point can be initialized using the server cell system parameters, or alternatively, the CoMP set system parameters. , For the latter, pseudo-random sequence generators can be initialized with
Cini, = Qn "coàfp" 1 + 1) - (2NicD "Mps" t 4- 1). 216 + RSClDCoMp "" '. at the start of each subframe, and the COMP set system parameters can be signaled to WTRU 102 when the COMP co-set is configured or reconfigured.
In various modalities, NcD "'íp" "' can correspond to the parameter Xd,

each subframe.
In several modalities N "aubsEmdeg, zd can correspond to the parameter Xid 10, and n-sc [DcéiaÈ, s €" b'gdQTa can correspond to the parameter Yid.
The server cell can forward the server cell ID and the subframe or Time slot index within a radio frame to other Tx points in the set of
CoMP 182 cooperation when the CoMP set is configured.
Alternatively,
the Tx points of the COMP 182 cooperation set can acquire the parameters of
15 server cell system through cell planning or other signaling- In some instances, all Tx points of the COMP 182 cooperation set may have subframe indices synchronized within a radio frame, which allows the cooperation set of CoMP 182 does not exchange the Subframe Index information within a radio frame.
The server cell
20 can forward the DM-RS scrambling ID applied to the DM-RS sequence associated with any PDSCH transmitted together and the associated HARQ process id to other Tx points of the CoMP cooperation set.
This transmission can occur through the X2 interface in the case of CoMP between NB.
In this way, demodulation by the WTRU can be transparent even if JT COMP is applied or
0 25 no.
In another embodiment, each TX point of the COMP 182 cooperation set can use a set of DM-RS ports orthogonal to other transmission points, for example, a different routing entities (RE) S u time and frequency locations or using different orthogonal coverage code.
At
30 DM-RS ports can be predefined.
The dynamic DM-RS port assignment can be used and signaled on the PDCCH for each PDSCH assignment.
Such signaling can be performed using any of the 200, 300, 400 and 500 processes, for example.
Alternatively, DM-RS ports with a standard
35 preset can be used between transmission points to save overhead of DL control signaling.
The predefined DM-RS port pattern can be specified or established between transmission points via the X2 interface when a CoMP cooperation set is formed and / or configured or
~ 44/95 reconfigured. For example, for 2-point Tx JT CoMP, a simple DM-RS port usage pattern for ports 7 and 8 can be used in the server cell, and ports 9 and 10 can be used at the other transmission point . Each TX point can use a common time slot index and a common cell ID (for example, COMP set ID 5) to initialize the pseudo-random sequence generator of a DM-RS sequence. Alternatively, each TX point in the COMP cooperation set can use its own time slot index and cell ID to initialize the DM-RS sequence pseudo-random sequence generator, and that 10 specific cell information (for example, a relative time interval or Subframe Index and cell ID of the non-serving cell Tx points) can be signaled to the WTRU 102 via upper layer signaling (such as RRC signaling or control element header d, and MAC) when the COMP 182 cooperation set is configured or reconfigured for WTRU 102.
15 After being configured in a Tx mode that can allow dynamic switching between JT COMP and single cell MIMO operation, the WTRU 102 can monitor a PDCCH format that supports (for example, JT) CoMP operation (hereinafter "COMP- PDCCH ") and other return PDCCH formats, such as DCI 1A format, in the common search and specific WTRU spaces.
20 For a valid COMP-PDCCH that is detected, WTRU 102 can obtain the information if (for example, JT) COMP is applied based, for example, on any of the signaling information mentioned above (for example, an index of CCE of received DCI, etc.-) If (for example, JT) COMP is applied, then WTRU 102 0 25 can obtain the number of non-server cell Tx points (if the number is not fixed) and port related information of DM-RS used by each of the non-server cell Tx points. The WTRU 102 can use the DM-RS port information used at each of the non-server cell Tx points to perform channel estimation of each of the non-server cell Tx points on corresponding DM-RS 30 ports. WTRU 102 can also obtain information such as resource block allocation (RB), HARQ process number, MCS, NDI and RV from the received PDCCH decoding. WTRU 102 can apply this information to receive O (S) PDSCH (s), and process (for example, decode) demodulated data accordingly. 35 As yet another alternative, each TX point in the COMP 182 cooperation set for WTRU 102 can use the same DM-RS ports as the other Tx points in the COMP 182 cooperation set, but can use different initialization parameters to the DM-RS sequence. The generator P,
45/95 pseudo-random sequence of a DM-RS sequence of each of the Tx points of the COMP 182 cooperation set can be initialized, at the beginning of each subframe, with its own infS) / specific cell system instructions, from so that in 'init = lL ns / 2] + l) " 2N'b + Ç.216 + nSCID, the" sclD of each of the Tx points can be
5 equal to 0. This specific cell system information (for example, the relative time interval or Subframe Index and the cell ID of the non-serving cell Tx points) can be signaled to WTRU 102 via layer signaling (such as RRC signaling or MAC control element header) when the COMP 182 cooperation set is configured or reconfigured for
10 WTRU 102. Alternatively, each TX point cannot use the CoMP set ID instead of the cell ID and a common time slot index for the DM-RS generator sequence, and apply a unique nsclD = nl outside the {0, 1,. , N-l} In one embodiment, the nscID range can be derived, for example,
15 of numerous transmission points for JT COMP, and may not be flagged explicitly.
Alternatively, the nSCID range can be obtained by the WTRU by performing blind detection on common DM-RS ports with different assumptions about the "scid" value.
To facilitate reception, the WTRU 102, after being configured
20 in a Tx mode that allows dynamic switching between (for example, JT) COMP and single cell MIMO operation, can monitor for COMP-PDCCH and other appropriate return PDCCH formats (for example, IA format) in the spaces common and specific WTRU search.
For a valid CoMP-PDCCH that is detected, WTRU 102 can obtain the information if JT COMP is applied based, for example, on and 25 any of the signaling information mentioned above (for example, a DCL CCE Index received, etc.). If (for example, JT) CoMP is applied, the WTRU can obtain q number of non-server cell Tx points (if the number is not fixed) and the DM-RS port information used by each TX point.
The WTRU 102 can use the DM-RS port information used at each of the non-server cell Tx points to perform channel estimation of each of the non-server cell Tx points on the corresponding DM-RS ports.
WTRU 102 can also obtain information such as RB allocation, HARQ process number, MCS, NDI and RV from the received PDCCH decoding.
WTRU 102 can apply this information to receive O (S) PDSCH (S), and process (for example, decode) demodulated data accordingly.
An example for DPS may include the use of a downlink assignment in DCl, as in DCl lG format, with an information field indicating the index of the instantaneous TX point confined in the set. COMP cooperation
which can point to a combination of cell ID and subframe index or time frame within a radio frame.
For example, for a 3-cell DPS CoMP set (or Tx points), the index of the instantaneous TX point confined in the CoMP set can be 1, 2, or 3. 5 Example details of the DCl lG format that can be used to support JT COMP with different data are listed in Table 7

10 to determine if JT COMP is applied.
At each predefined DM-RS port of each of the Tx points of the COMP 182 cooperation set, the sequence of dm- and RS can be scrambled using specific cell system parameters.
WTRU 102 can then blindly detect DM-RS using a specific parameter of a potential TX point, for example, a cell ID and / or
15 time interval index, to unscramble the DM-RS sequence received at the DM-RS port.
If a valid DM-RS sequence is detected after unscrambling, WTRU 102 interprets that result to receive the JT COMP downlink transmissions to come.
In one or more modalities, the Tx points of the set of
20 COMP 182 cooperation can use specific cell system parameters to initialize the DM-RS sequence of WTRU 102 that receives PDSCH from such a TX point (or cell). Next, several processes are provided to support effective multi-user (MU) -MIMO operation so that a WTRU without CoMP at that TX point (or cell) can detect the presence of WTRU (S) equipped with a coprogrammed COMP,
25 such as WTRU 102. These processes can be used to detect MU-MIMO.

In one embodiment, at any of the COX Tx points or cells, the eNB may not co-program any downlink transmission to the WTRU without COMP with coordinated downlink transmission to the WTRU 102 in the same RB or subband.
Alternatively, at any of the Tx points of COMP or 5 cells, eNB may not co-program any two WTRUSs whose DM-RS strings are initialized with different system parameters, such as specific cell ID and Time slot index.
Such WTRUs can be separated in the time domain, for example, in different subframes.
In another modality, where the CoMP set 10 system parameters can be used for initialization, each WTRU can be flagged or configured with such information, although not all WTRUs can be set.
0 operated on COMP in the totality of TTI.
To support such a configuration, each WTRU without COMP can perform an extra blind detection of other DM-RS ports or strings with the use of a DM-RS string initialization of the COMP set system parameters.
Alternatively, where a cell system parameter specific to a first TX point of the CoMP 182 cooperation set can be used to initiate DM-RS sequence from a second Tx point to VVTRU 102, then a relative Index confined in the set COMP cooperation that can
20 be used to identify the second point Tx can be signaled to the WTRU without CoMP of interest through, for example, dedicated L1 / L2 signaling or broadcast.
To support this configuration, the WTRU without COMP can perform extra blind detection of other DM-RS ports or strings using the specific cell system parameters of the DM-RS sequence initialization based on the second point Tx. and 25 Alternatively, the Relative Index of the second point Tx may not be signaled for WTRU 102. Instead, WTRU 102 can be configured with the information of the totality (or the totality within a given proximity) of the parameter sets of specific cell system of the Tx points (for example, cell ID, relative time interval index) through upper layer signaling (such as RRC signaling or MAC control element header) when the COMP cooperation set 182 is configured or reconfigured for WTRU 102. If there are K Tx points in the COMP 182 cooperation set, then the WTRU without COMP of interest can carry out extra blind detections, where each uses the cell system parameter sets specifies a DM-RS 35 sequence initialization based on potential Tx point base.
For a DPS-based COMP scheme, where the server cell system parameters are used for DM-RS sequence initialization by the instantaneous transmission point, the same DM-RS ports used by the instantaneous transmission point may not be used in the server cell- In various modalities, for various COMP schemes, the processes for shuffling PDSCH to support the COMP operation and allow (for example, COMP) the WTRU 102 to effectively unscramble the PDSCH
5 COMP received.
As noted above, WTRU 102 can be configured with the common set of system parameters for all Tx points in the COMP 182 cooperation set when the WTRU is configured in a Tx mode that allows dynamic switching between JT COMP and operation Cell MIMO
10 only.
The use of such a configuration allows PDSCH scrambling to support the COMP operation and allows the WTRU 102 to effectively unscramble the received PDSCH and COMP. In another embodiment, each CoMP TX point can have its PDSCH scrambling sequence initialized by your own (for example,
15 specific cell) Unique cell ID and Time slot index within a radio frame.
Assuming that there are K COMP Tx points that together transmit PDSCH to the WTRU 102, the WTRU 102 can unscramble K times using each cell's unscramble sequence and then match.
In various modalities, for various CoMP schemes,
20 as for JT COMP with different data along the Tx points, several processes are provided here to facilitate and / or maintain HARQ processes across multiple Tx points of the COMP 182 cooperation set. HARQ can be performed for COMP of JT with different data along the Tx points.
For JT COMP that uses 0 25 closed loop MIMO pre-coding with different data along the CoMP Tx points, for example, data blocks from different COMP Tx points can be considered different code words.
MIMO-based pre-coding includes local pre-coding, global pre-coding and multicast / broadcast via single frequency network pre-coding (MBSFN), etc. Assuming K Tx points for WTRU 102, the number in
30 code words (CW) s can be limited by the number of receiving antennas of the WTRU 102 (or a standard maximum restriction). HARQ for COMP of JT with different data along the Tx points can be implemented using several exemplifying processes.
In one of these processes, each TX point maintains an independent set of
35 HARQ for (for example, JT COMP) WTRU 102. Such maintenance can allow flexible programming on the network, for example, at each TX point, but it can introduce complexity into WTRU 102 for deploying multiple sets of HARQ processes for each CoMP TX point.
The following PDCCH formats can be used to support JT COMP and signal PDSCH assignment for WTRU 102. In one embodiment, the DCl format (hereinafter "DCl 2E format") can be used to carry information from control parameters (eg MCS, DM-RS ports, HARQ information, etc.) from
5 PDSCH transmitted from all COMP Tx points.

In another mode, the joint coding of the antenna port (s) signaling, scrambling ID and number of layers for all Tx points can be performed since the total number of layers can be limited by the number of WTRU receiving antennas 102. The number of antennas can be D 10 limited by the maximum number of layers in a single cell / TX point. This PDCCH scheme can dramatically increase the downlink attribution PDCCH size, which may require more search space. To facilitate the largest search space, at least a higher aggregation level X (X "8) can be added to the PDCCH search space of the - 15 WTRU 102, which can create a sYj research space at the level ! of aggregation L and {1,2,4,8, X} The CCEs that correspond to the candidate for PDCCH m of the research space S (') y, can be determined, for example, in the same way as in LTE , but with a higher value of L. The WTRU 102 can monitor a common search space at each of the aggregation levels 4 and 8 and optionally X, and monitor a specific 20 WTRU search space at each of the aggregation levels 1, 2, 4, 8, X. The levels of aggregation that define the research spaces are listed in Table 10 (below).

For the common search spaces, y, can be set to 0 for the two aggregation levels L = 4 and L = 8, and also set to 0 for the optional aggregation level X.
'~ 51/95 After being configured in a Tx mode that allows dynamic switching between JT COMP with different data along the transmission points and single cell MIMO operation, the WTRU 102 can monitor PDCCH 2E format and other formats Appropriate return PDCCH, for example, format 1A 5 or 2C, in the common search and specific WTRU spaces defined above. If a valid PDCCH 2E format is detected, then WTRU 102 can apply this PDSCH assignment to its PDSCH demodulation and may not process any further PDSCH assignments. From the received PDCCH 2E format, WTRU 102 can obtain the HARQ Process Number information for each TX, MCS, 10 NDI and RV point of each transport block for each of the Tx points, door (s) of antenna, OD of unscrambling and number of layers of each of the points Tx. WTRU 102 0 can apply this information to demodulate its PDSCH for each HARQ process per cell or TX point, and process demodulated data accordingly. In some modalities, there may be K (at least two) HARQ processes with 15 demodulated in WTRU 102 on the same frequency carrier. In another alternative, K separate PDCCHs can be used, where each PDCCH can signal a COMP cell or PDSCH TX point parameters. For example, for the case where up to two code words are followed by a TX point, the DCl 2C format as defined in LTE-A can be used. For the case where only one code word is allowed per transmission point, then a DCl format (here called DCl IE format) can be used.

P 10 Table 12 The use of the antecedent can cause high PDCCH blind detection complexity in the WTRU 102. To reduce the blind detection complexity, a predefined relationship between the K PDCCHS transmitted for the same WTRU 102 can be used so that the WTRU 102 can be aware of which 15 Indices from the CCES set to decode to a second PDCCH after successful decoding of a first PDCCH. If the WTRU 102 successfully decodes the F '"° (1 gks K) PDCCH, then the CCES Index set for the PDCCH j" "° (i # k) may be a predefined function of the index set of CCE of k '"" ° pdcch. That is, for example: 0 20 [ECC index] pdcch, = A ({ECC index} pdcch,) (15) Alternatively, the CCES Index set for or "" ° (i ¥ k) PDCCH can be a predefined function of the index set of the first CCE of k '"" ° PDCCH. That is, for example: [CC index EJp / jcch, = F, (CE index pdcch,) (16) 25 After being configured in a Tx mode that allows dynamic switching between JT COMP with different data along the transmission points and single cell MIMO operation, the WTRU 102 can monitor q PDCCH format 2C or 1E (or 2C / 1E with payload reduced) and other appropriate PDCCH formats, for example, format 1A, in the common search spaces and specific WTRU 30. The WTRU can receive and process up to K PDSCH assignments on the same carrier (diff where only one PDSCH assignment can be applied / processed by WTRU 102 per frequency carrier in any TTI). If a predefined relationship between the K PDCCHs is applied, then the WTRU can be aware of which indices of the CCES set to decode for a second PDCCH after successful decoding of the first PDCCH using equations (15) or (16). After receiving and processing valid PDSCH assignments K, WTRU 102 may not process any further assignment of 5 PDSCH. For each valid PDCCH format 2C or 1E that is detected, WTRU 102 can obtain the information of an RB Assignment, HARQ process number, MCS, NDI and RV of each transport block, antenna port (s), ID of scrambling and number of layers of the corresponding transmission point, WTRU 102 can apply this information to demodulate its PDSCH for the corresponding transmission point HARQ process, and process the demodulated data accordingly. Alternatively, the WTRU can apply the common DL and related information contained in the received PDCCH for demodulation of the PDSCH server cell at all Tx points, and apply the common UL related information included in the received PDCCH to the server cell, as TPC etc., for the 15 uplink of your server cell. Common DL related information includes in the PDCCH received for the server cell can include information such as RB Assignment, etc. There may be a K (at least two) HARQOS process that is demodulated in the WTRU on the same frequency carrier. In another alternative, a process set of HARQos 20 can be maintained across all Tx points for WTRU 102 (for example, JMP CoMP). In one embodiment, a DCl format (referred to herein as "DCl 2F format") can be used to transfer parameter control information (eg, MCS, DM-RS ports etc-) from PDSCH transmitted from of all Tx points of COMP. Exemplary details of the DCl 2F format that can be used to support JT COMP with different dates are listed in Table 13 (below).

10 Similar to the PDCCH scheme above, the signaling of 0 antenna port (s), scrambling identity and number of layers for all transmission points can be coded and signaled together. This PDCCH scheme can have the same impact of PDCCH search space as the PDCCH scheme above. 15 After being configured in a Tx mode that allows dynamic switching between JT COMP with different data through transmission points and single cell MIMO operation, the WTRU 102 can monitor the PDCCH 2F format and other appropriate PDCCH formats, for example example, format 1A or 2C, in the specific and common WTRU search space defined above. If a valid 2F PDCCH 20 format is detected, then WTRU 102 can apply this PDSCH assignment in its demodulation and may not process any other PDSCH assignments. From the received PDCCH 2F format, WTRU 102 can obtain MCS, NDI and RV information for each transport block, antenna port (s),
scrambling identity and number of layers for each transmission point.
WTRU 102 can apply this information to demodulate its PDSCH for an HARQ process across all transmission points, and processes demodulated data.
Note that an HARQ process can contain up to 2K transport blocks
5 (or code words) instead of up to two in LTE.
In a second example solution, separate K PDCCHS can be used, and each PDCCH can signal a CoMP cell or Tx point PDSCH parameters.
For example, in the case where up to two code words are allowed per transmission point, the DCl 2C format as defined
10 in LTE-A can be used; for the case where only one code word is allowed per transmission point, then the DCl 1E format defined in Table 8 can be used.
Alternatively, the PDCCH format used for transmission points other than a server cell may use less payload than
15 that the format of DCl 2C or 1E by non-inclusive information fields that are common to all transmission points, and the PDCCH format used for the server cell may include common information fields such as HARQ ID process, RB, resource allocation header, TPC and DAI.
Similar to the Method 1 PDCCH 2 solution in order to reduce
In terms of blind decoding complexity, a predefined relationship between the K PDCCHS WTRU can be used so that WTRU can know which indexes of the CCES set to decode for a second PDCCH once it successfully decodes the first PDCCH.
After being configured in a Tx mode that allows and 25 dynamic switching between JT COMP with different data through transmission points and single cell MIMO operation, the WTRU can monitor the PDCCH format 2C or 1E (or 2C / 1E with load useful) and other appropriate PDCCH formats, for example, format 1A, in the specific and common WTRU search space.
Unlike LTE, where only one PDSCH assignment can be
30 applied / processed by the WTRU per frequency carrier in any TTI, in this example, the WTRU can receive and process up to K PDSCH assignments on the same frequency carrier.
If a predefined relationship between the K of PDCCHS is applied, then the WTRU can know which Indices of the set of CCEs to decode for a second PDCCH once it successfully decodes the first PDCCH at the
35 follow the rule in equations (7) or (8). Upon receipt and processing of K valid PDSCH assignments, the WTRU may not process any further PDSCH assignments.
For each valid 2C or 1E PDCCH format that is detected, the WTRU can obtain the RB Assignment, HARQ Process Number, MCS, NDI and
RV of each transport block, antenna port (s), scrambling identity and number of layers of the corresponding transmission point. The WTRU can apply this information to demodulate its PDSCH for the corresponding transmission point's HARQ process, and process the demodulated data accordingly.
5 Alternatively, the WTRU can apply the related common DL information contained in the received PDCCH to the server cell (such as HARQ ID process, RB assignment, etc.) for the demodulation of PDSCH at all transmission points, and can apply the related common UL information contained in the received PDCCH for the server cell (such as TPC etc.) for the uplink of its server cell 10. There may be K (at least two) HARQOS processes being demodulated in the WTRU on the same frequency carrier. 0 A timing adjustment for JT-PDSCH can be performed on the receiver of WTRU 102, In an example where DM-RS is used for PDSCH jointly transmitted with the same data from different 15 COMP Tx points, for example, orthogonal in time and frequency domain, the WTRU 102 can compensate for the time mismatch between the different COMP Tx points on the receiver using the following method. The DM-RS received from point Tx m in subcarrier k can be denoted as: Y (mT) _ e - j2xk y: :) 20 "'" N' 5 (17) where (mj) can be the time displacement from point Tx 'm, y ;;) can be the RS Symbol received in subcarrier k' without time shift and N are the FFT points. Therefore, the signals received in two and subcarriers with distance subcarriers Ak can be presented as: _ j "= rk 25 íy =) = e N}! P ( (M ') -jm (k + ljk) t, ( m) j7 pkdk = e NI p, k + t! k.

Using equations 18 and 19, WTRU 102 can calculate the displacement of time t when using a pair of RS with distance Ak subcarriers: D = (Y ("L ') (m) pk" & (Xp.
