Title:
USER EQUIPMENT (UE) AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION USING BEAM AGGREGATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/101040
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication using beam aggregation are generally described herein. The UE may receive first and second directional signals from a first eNB and a second eNB as part of a beam aggregation. The UE may transmit one or more channel state information (CSI) messages to the eNBs. The CSI messages may include rank indicators (RI) for the first and second signals. The RIs may indicate numbers of directional beams between the eNBs and the UE that are determined as part of the reception of the first signal. In some cases, when multiple transmit beams are included in a directional signal, the CSI messages may include multiple RIs for each of the transmitted beams.
