Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a wireless communication system, a wireless device is identified as being a relay device. A channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration is selected such that at least one CSI-RS can be transmitted to the wireless device in a subset of subframes assigned to relay backhaul transmissions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: identifying a wireless device as being a relay device; and selecting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration such that at least one CSI-RS is transmitted to the wireless device in a subset of subframes assigned to relay backhaul transmissions, the subset of subframes having resource blocks (RBs) that include resource elements (REs) assigned to an antenna port, and the CSI-RS configu…
