Abstract

A configuration to configure a UE to receive a plurality of CSI-RS ports where different ports may be transmitted on different sets of RBs within the frequency band of the CSI-RS. The apparatus receives CSI-RS through a plurality of CSI-RS ports, wherein different CSI-RS ports of the plurality of CSI-RS ports are transmitted on a different set of RBs. The apparatus reports at least one CSI based on a CSI-RS pattern.
