Abstract
Methods and apparatus for realizing dynamic point selection improve the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of release 8/9 UEs. The method comprises a step of receiving estimated channel quality reported by all the TPs in the CoMP set, a step of switching the serving TP for the UEs based on the estimated channel quality and/or cell load, a step of forwarding the scheduled data from the primary TP to the serving TP, a step of separately transmitting PDCCH to the UEs by the primary TP and transmitting PDSCH to the UEs by the serving TP. the implementation of the method and apparatus improves the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of UE throughput by serving UEs instantaneously from the cell that provides better throughput accounting for fast time-scale channel fluctuations and/or load. It helps in reducing interference due to data getting drained faster when users are served from cells with better channel conditions.
