DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF IDENTIFIERS TO COMMON AND DEDICATED REFERENCE SIGNALS IN HYBRID CELL IDENTIFIER SCENARIOS

The present invention proposes a method, including in a communication network area constituted by a plurality of transmission points configured for coordinated transmissions to at least one target, each transmission point being identified by an individual identifier, each transmission point being configured to transmit common reference signals on common channels and dedicated reference signals on dedicated channels to said at least one target device, assigning the respective individual identifier of each transmission point to the common reference signals on the common channels of the respective transmission point, and allocating, to the dedicated reference signals on the dedicated channels of respective plural transmission points, an identifier unrelated to the individual identifiers. Also, corresponding devices are addressed.
