Uplink feedback for multi-site scheduling


Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for a user equipment (UE) to provide feedback in a multi-site scheduling system (e.g., a system where multiple entities may schedule and/or send data to the UE). For example, the UE may receive a first data from a first network entity and a second data from a second network entity. A network entity may include entities that transmit data and/or control information to the UE, e.g., an eNodeB (eNB). The UE may generate feedback relating to received data, such as ACK/NACK information or channel state information (CSI). The UE may send a first feedback relating to the first data in a first subframe and a second feedback relating to the second data in a second subframe.
