- the figure takes one TRP corresponding to one base station side cell as an example.
- UE1 is transmitted by cell 1 and cell 2 in coordination
- UE2 is transmitted by cell 2 and cell 3 in coordination.
- the cells participating in the coordination need to have unified transmission resources (time, frequency, and space resources) and transmission formats (Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), Redundancy Version (RV), etc.). Therefore, signaling interaction between cells is required.
- MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme
- RV Redundancy Version
- MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme
- RV Redundancy Version
- signaling interaction between cells is required.
- different cells are managed by one DU/DDU, and it is easier to coordinate the transmission of information over the air interface between cells.
- different cells belong to different DU/DDUs, and the coordinated transmission of information over the air interface between cells will have the problem of transmission delay, and timely scheduling cannot be achieved.
- different DU/DDUs usually have synchronization time differences, and the coordinated transmission of different cells under them also has the problem of timing synchronization.
- the access point (AP) is an independent base station node, typically a macro base station and a home base station.
- Different base stations are responsible for scheduling and transmission respectively, and their signaling interaction is through the Xn interface.

- the network side pre-configures cooperative transmission resources for the terminal through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- the terminal receives downlink data or sends uplink data in accordance with the physical layer resources and transmission format allocated for the pre-configured cooperative transmission resources at the moment when the pre-configured cooperative transmission resources take effect.
- each cell or TRP participating in the cooperative transmission on the network side also sends downlink data or receives uplink data in accordance with the physical layer resources and transmission format allocated in the pre-configured cooperative transmission resources at the moment when the pre-configured cooperative transmission resources take effect. In this way, even if there is a transmission delay in the interactive signaling between different cells or TRPs, or there is a timing synchronization difference between different cells or TRPs, the cooperative transmission of different cells or TRPs to one terminal can still be achieved.
