Abstract

Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A base station (BS) includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via the transceiver, a channel state information (CSI) report from at least one user equipment (UE). The processor is also configured to configure CSI-reference signal (RS) resources for the at least one UE. The processor is further configured to, based on the CSI report from the at least one UE, perform one of: set a transmission power to full power for transmission in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); or apply a back-off percentage to the transmission power in the PDSCH.
