Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operation of a media access control (MAC) layer of an access terminal. SOLUTION: An access terminal includes: a transmitter that transmits a reverse traffic channel to an access network; an antenna that receives a signal from the access network; a processor that performs electronic communication with a processor; and a memory. An instruction stored in the memory determines whether the current electric power allocation permission 1374 in a flow of the access terminal is the one received from the access network or not. If the current electric power allocation permission 1374 is still active, the current electric power allocation 1338a for the flow is set equally to the current electric power allocation permission 1374. If the current electric power allocation permission 1374 is not received yet, the current electric power allocation 1338a for the flow is decided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
In a communication system, user equipment (UE) conditionally performs uplink transmit diversity (ULTD) either by Switched Antenna Transmit Diversity (SATD) or Beamforming Transmit Diversity (BFTD) using a first antenna and a second antenna. Either a serving node or the UE determines that uplink transmit diversity is conditionally authorized. Either a serving node or the UE measures a value. The UE transmits using ULTD in response to determining that an enabling condition based on the value is satisfied. The UE can also disable uplink transmit diversity in response to determining that a disabling condition based on the value is satisfied. The disabling condition comprises a disabling threshold that equals the enabling condition comprising an enabling threshold with a threshold adjustment for hysteresis.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for linear precoding in full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO) systems. According to aspects, an eNB may compress a larger number of antenna elements to a smaller number of antenna ports. The eNB may use a port precoding matrix to transmit reference signals to a UE, receive feedback regarding CSI based on the reference signals, and transmit data to the UE, based on a mapping of multiple data layers and mapping of antenna ports to the physical antenna elements. Further, aspects include performing elevation beamforming by dynamically forming one or more vertical sectors based on UE feedback in the elevation domain.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes utilizing a first outer loop for single-stream transmissions when a requested PCI by a UE is within a first set. The utilizing the first outer loop includes utilizing a first outer loop margin to adjust a size of a transport block by a first backoff margin when the UE requests a PCI within the first set. The method further includes utilizing a second outer loop for single-stream transmissions when the requested PCI by the UE is within a second set different from the first set. The utilizing the second outer loop includes utilizing a second outer loop margin to adjust the size of the transport block by a second backoff margin when the UE requests a PCI within the second set.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate cooperation strategy selection for a network multiple-in-multiple-out (N-MIMO) communication system. As described herein, one or more nodes in a communication system capable of N-MIMO communication can calculate marginal utilities, projected per-user rates, and/or other parameters corresponding to respective associated users. Based on these calculations, respective network nodes can perform user scheduling and selection, cell scheduling and selection, selection of a cooperation strategy (e.g., coordinated silencing, joint transmission, coordinated beamforming, etc.), and/or other operations to provide cooperative communication for respective users. As further described herein, projected rate calculation for a given user can be adjusted based on processing or channel implementation loss associated with the user, interference nulling capability of the user, or other factors. As additionally described herein, these and/or other parameters can be fed back by respective users to a serving network node and/or mandated via system performance requirements.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In order to exchange data over a given wireless communication network, a wireless device may first perform a cell acquisition procedure (e.g., to determine cell-specific information such as timing and frequency offsets, bandwidth, control channel formatting, etc. ). In some systems, aspects of the timing information may be conveyed with scrambling codes applied to a master information block (MIB). Physical broadcast channel (PBCH) payloads, including MIB transmissions, may be jointly encoded with synchronization signal indices. Bursts of MIB transmissions may thus be decoded without blind decoding while maintaining error protection and low latency that may be necessary to obtain critical system information within the MIB.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing periodic CSI reports and/or aperiodic CSI reports to provide CSI for both anchor and non-anchor TDD subframes in eIMTA. Periodic CSI reports may be provided based on a reference configuration, and aperiodic CSI reports may be provided based on a time of reception of a CSI request and a reference configuration. A UE may determine to report anchor or non-anchor CSI through explicit or implicit signaling. Aperiodic CSI may be used for transmission of anchor subframe CSI reports and periodic CSI may be used for transmission of non-anchor subframe CSI reports, or aperiodic CSI may be used for transmission of non-anchor subframe CSI reports and periodic CSI may be used for transmission of anchor subframe CSI reports. A determination of the reference subframe for aperiodic CSI estimation may be based on a time of receipt of an aperiodic CSI request.
