The transceiver is configured to receive information indicating a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration, uplink-related downlink control information (DCI), and a CSI-RS associated with a selected CSI-RS resource in a same subframe as the uplink-related DCI. The processor configured to determine, in response to a CSI request included in the uplink-related DCI, an aperiodic CSI in reference to the CSI-RS. The transceiver is further configured to report the aperiodic CSI by transmitting the aperiodic CSI on an uplink channel.

Abstract: A method of executing inter-eNB CoMP JT between a CoMP UE and multiple CoMP eNBs is disclosed. A first CoMP eNB constructs a first set of dynamic control information (DCI). The first set of DCI is independently constructed by the first CoMP eNB. The first CoMP eNB transmits the first set of DCI to the CoMP UE. The first set of DCI includes independent DL assignments allowing the first CoMP eNB to perform independent scheduling of a PDSCH associated with the first CoMP eNB. A second CoMP eNB constructs a second set of DCI. The second set of DCI is independently constructed by the second CoMP eNB. Furthermore, the second CoMP eNB transmits the second set of DCI to the CoMP UE. The second set of DCI includes independent DL assignments allowing the second CoMP eNB to perform independent scheduling of a PDSCH associated with the second CoMP eNB.

Abstract: A user equipment, apparatus, and method are provided for wireless communication in a hybrid communication network. A method includes transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE), a scheduling request to a first eNodeB (eNB). The scheduling request indicates that the UE is capable of device-to-device (D2D) communications. The method includes receiving, by the first UE, a first scheduling assignment (SA) from the first eNB. The first SA indicates resources to be used by the first UE for device-to-device (D2D) communications with the first eNB. The method includes communicating, by the first UE, with the first eNB according to the first SA.
