Inter-eNB over-the-air calibration for reciprocity-based coordinated multipoint communications

Wireless communications systems and methods related to over-the-air uplink-downlink (UL-DL) reciprocity calibration. A central unit transmits downlink (DL) calibration reference signal (RS) and a calibration request. The central unit receives, in response to the calibration request, a first uplink (UL) calibration RS and a first DL channel estimate associated with a first transmission point (TP) and a first wireless communication device. The central unit transmits a DL coordinated multipoint (CoMP) joint transmission signal according to an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) reciprocity calibration. The UL-DL reciprocity calibration is based on at least a first UL channel estimate based on the first UL calibration RS, the first DL channel estimate, a second UL channel estimate associated with a second TP and the first wireless communication device, and a second DL channel estimate associated with the second TP and the first wireless communication device.

Aspects described herein relate to wireless communications. According to some aspects, a first base station may coordinate with a second base station to select beamforming codewords. The first base station may receive an index indicating beamforming codewords used by a second base station. The first base station may select a beamforming codeword for use in transmitting signals to a wireless device based on the beamforming codeword indicated by the second base station.

Communication apparatus and communication method

A communication apparatus comprises a generator that generates frequency resource position information corresponding to a first information which is based on the communication quality information received from user equipments, the frequency resource position information indicating validity or invalidity of the first information for each frequency resource, and a transmitter that transmits the first information, the frequency resource position information and a cell ID which the frequency resource position is applied, to another communication apparatus via a backhaul.
