Embodiments contemplate methods, systems, and apparatuses for interference measurement in a wireless communication network, including wireless communication networks the employ MIMO in uplink and/or downlink communication. Embodiments contemplate identifying one or more interference measurement resource elements that may be received from one or more transmission points. Embodiments also contemplate performing interference measurement estimation based at least in part on the identified one or more interference measurement resource elements. Channel state information (CSI) perhaps in the form of reports may be generated based at least in part on the one or more interference measurement estimation. Embodiments also contemplate that the CSI report may be transmitted to one or more nodes. In some embodiments, the one or more interference measurement resource elements may be received as part of a set of resource elements.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for UE positioning in wireless networks. Various embodiments may include signaling of virtual identifiers associated with remote radio heads of a coordinated multipoint communication system and generating a positioning reference signal based on the virtual identifiers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A reverse trigger system of multiple access point (multi-AP) operation and an Access Point (AP) are provided. The reverse trigger system includes: a common station; an initializer AP configured to send a trigger announcement to the common station, wherein the common station sends a trigger frame in response to receiving the trigger announcement; and at least one first coordinated AP configured to send first data in response to receiving the trigger frame, wherein the initializer AP is configured to send second data in response to receiving the trigger frame. Embodiments of the present disclosure may enable joint and synchronous data transmission between APs which cannot communicate with each other directly.

The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods for allocating bandwidth among communication links in a telecommunication system. Some aspects can involve identifying multiple transmission modes used to transmit downlink signals via remote units of a telecommunications system to groups of terminal devices. Each group of terminal devices may receive downlink signals using a respective transmission mode. Respective weights can be assigned to the groups of terminal devices based on the transmission modes. The downlink signals, which are provided to each remote unit associate with each group of terminal devices, can be configured using a respective signal power that is associated with a respective weight for the group of terminal devices associated with the respective remote unit.

The present invention provides a method of reporting, by a UE, CSI in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, a RRC signaling that comprises a plurality of reporting settings, wherein each reporting setting comprises a corresponding list of first values representing time offsets for transmitting a CSI report, forming a plurality of lists of first values; receiving, from the base station, DCI triggering the CSI report, wherein the DCI comprises an index value related to a time at which to transmit the CSI report on a PUSCH; determining, based on the DCI, a plurality of list entries; determining a second value that is largest among the plurality of list entries; and transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report on the PUSCH based on the second value.

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system and a device supporting the same. Particularly, a method for reporting channel state information (CSI) performed by a user equipment (UE) supported by multiple base stations in a wireless communication system may include receiving CSI related configuration information for the multiple base stations; receiving a reference signal from the multiple base stations; generating CSI based on a CSI omission rule; and transmitting the CSI to at least one base station among the multiple base stations, wherein the CSI may include information for multiple channels configured, and wherein the CSI omission rule may be determined based on at least one of i) a type of the CSI, ii) a part of the CSI, iii) priority information among CSI parameters and/or iv) priority information among the multiple base stations.

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) and methods are disclosed that are aware of cellular user/antenna relationships. The DAS systems and/or methods include or use one or more User Aware Units that provide the functionality of knowing (or, knowledge of) which cellular user(s) each antenna can communicate with (and vice versa). The User Aware Unit functions to gather information about the reception in each antenna in order to identify the cellular users that the respective antenna can communicate with or best communicate with compared to other cellular users.
