Abstract
In this chapter, the application of multipoint cooperative communication in the 4G networks, that is, the coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system, is addressed from a variety of aspects. First, we review the development of CoMP in the standardization of Long-Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks and analyze the reason of its preclusion from the LTE Release 10 specification. Second, we discuss the renewed campaign of CoMP in LTE Release 11, including the downlink transmission and uplink reception schemes of CoMP, as well as the related specification works. Third, we analyze the simulation results from the 3GPP CoMP study item to show the advantages of CoMP system in practical cellular networks.
