Abstract
Described embodiments provide a method for controlling radio units to transmit a signal to user equipment wherein each one of the radio units includes at least two antennas associated with a different transmission pattern. The method may include determining whether user equipment is located at an overlapping cell area of a first cell and a second cell and controlling a first radio unit in the first cell to transmit a signal to the user equipment using a first resource block and controlling a second radio unit in the second cell to transmit a reference signal associated with the first resource block with a second transmission power when the user equipment is determined as being located in the overlapping cell area. The second transmission power may be lower than a first transmission power of the first radio unit in the first cell for transmitting a reference signal using the first resource block.
