Examples include techniques for determining power offsets of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). In some examples higher and physical layer signaling may be provided to user equipment (UE) by a base station such as an evolved Node B to enable the UE to determine power offset values for a multiplexed PDSCH having a serving PDSCH and a co-scheduled PDSCH transmitted via use of same time and frequency resources. The determined power offset values for use by the UE to demodulate the serving PDSCH and mitigate possible interference caused by the co-scheduled PDSCH. Both the UE and the eNB may operate in compliance with one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards.

Dynamic transmission of non-zero power channel state information resource signals and interference measurement resources is described. Such dynamic transmission reduces or eliminates a need to buffer and store channel and interference measurements The described approach also reduces the overhead due to transmission of those resources and enables flexible time-domain channel state information requests.

The UE can decode a plurality of channel-state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) received from a plurality of cooperating nodes, wherein the plurality of cooperating nodes are included in a coordination set of a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system. The UE can generate a plurality of received RS timings from the plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the received RS timings represent timings from the plurality of cooperating nodes. The UE can determine a composite received RS timing from the plurality of received RS timings. The UE can adjust the receiver timing based on the composite received RS timing.

Technology for an eNodeB operable to perform multiuser non-orthogonal superposition transmissions for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) is disclosed. The eNodeB can modulate a first physical multicast channel (PMCH) signal for MBMS with a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS). The eNodeB can modulate a second PMCH signal for MBMS with a second MCS. The eNodeB can multiplex the first PMCH signal and the second PMCH signal to form an aggregate PMCH signal. The eNodeB can transmit the aggregate PMCH signal to a plurality of UEs using multiuser non-orthogonal superposition for MBMS, wherein the first PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal is transmitted using physical resource blocks (PRBs) that are partially or fully overlapped in time and frequency with PRBs of the second PMCH signal in the aggregate PMCH signal.

User Equipment (UE) and base station (eNB) apparatus and methodology for radio resource management reporting. The UE receives reference signals from at least one antenna port of an eNB via a plurality of receive antennas of the UE. The UE performs received signal measurement of at least a portion of the reference signals for a plurality of eNB antenna port and UE receive antenna combinational groupings to produce enhanced received signal quality (eRSQ) measurements that represent spatial characteristics of the reference signaling as received by the UE. The UE may send a report to the eNB based on the eRSQ measurements, with the report being indicative of spatial multiplexing layer availability of the UE to be served by the eNB.

Additionally, or alternatively, the eNB may transmit an interference resource group (IRG) indicator to the UE to indicate an IRG over which the UE is to perform interference averaging to facilitate demodulation of signals received by the UE from the eNB.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for transmission point indication in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system. A user equipment (UE) may receive common reference signal (CRS) parameters associated with individual base stations of a CoMP measurement set. The UE may also receive a transmission point index corresponding to a first base station of the CoMP measurement set that is scheduled for communications with the UE. A mapping module of the UE may produce a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) mapping pattern based on the CRS parameters associated with the scheduled base station.

Embodiments relate to network management of a wireless network in which inactive cells are selectively activated thereby changing the radio environment of a user equipment. The changed radio environment is assessed to determine a preferred distribution of active cells for that user equipment.
