Abstract(in English) Accurate channel estimation for multiple cells is essential in downlink coordinated multi-point (COMP) transmission/reception. Therefore, this paper investigates a technique to improve the channel estimation for downlink CoMP in LTE-Advanced. Particularly, the performance of the data signal muting, i.e., muting data signals that collide with the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) of the neighboring cell, is evaluated considering various CoMP schemes and scenarios. The simulation results show that data signal muting is effective in improving the channel estimation accuracy, and consequently the throughput performance especially for sets of user equipment at the cell boundary when CoMP is employed. Furthermore, the tradeoff relation between accurate channel estimation by muting larger amount of data signals and high peak data rate, i.e., low overhead, is also investigated. It is shown that when the number of coordinated cells is set to three, the improvement in performance is almost saturated when the data signals that collide with the CSI-RSs of the other two coordinated cells are muted in the synchronized network.
