Abstract
A per-transmit time interval (TTI) rank control within a transmission opportunity (TxOP) is described for downlink coordinated multiple point (CoMP) operations. In operation, a base station may determine rank and data rate for communication during a transmission opportunity (TxOP) at the beginning of the TxOP. Each TxOP may include a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs). For each TTI of the TxOP, the base station computes one or more channel quality indicator (CQI) back-offs using one or more outer loop adaptation processes per TTI, and updates rank and the data rate using the CQI back-offs. Once updated, the base station transmits the downlink data during each TTI according to the updated rank and the data rate.
