Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for measuring and mitigating interference. Such interference may include base station to base station (eNB to eNB) interference and/or UE to UE interference.A base station may determine a first subframe configuration for the base station and a second subframe configuration for one or more other base stations,wherein the first and second subframe configurations have different ratios of uplink to downlink portions.The base station may measure interference caused by the one or more other base stations based on reference signals transmitted in downlink portions of the second subframe configuration.
Abstract:
Aspects of radio access technology searching include apparatus and methods for obtaining relative synchronization information between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, and determining a time location of a pilot signal of the second radio access technology based on the relative synchronization information. Further aspects include searching for the pilot signal of the second radio access technology using the determined time location. Other aspects further include determining a measurement gap duration and measurement gap location based on the relative synchronization information so as to encompass a pilot of the second radio access technology.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method, and computer program product operable to determine a phase of a beamforming weight vector utilizing a memory of a previously used phase for the beamforming weight vector, capable of improving a channel estimate. A base station (320) transmits a beamforming weight vector to a user equipment (310) based on a determined channel estimate. The user equipment (310) selects between the received beamforming weight vector, or a modified beamforming weight vector having its phase shifted by -360, in accordance with a suitable selection criteria. That is, the selection is made such that a difference between the phase of the selected beamforming vector and a phase of a prior beamforming vector is within a predetermined range.
Abstract:
A base station receiver (610), a computer program product operable at a base station (600), and a method operable at a base station receiver (610), for receiving uplink transmit diversity transmissions utilizing a master/ slave scheme at the receiver (610). One or more tracking loops, such as a searcher task, a time tracking loop, or a frequency tracking loop may be implemented at the base station receiver (610) to determine compensation values, such as finger timings for a rake receiver or frequency compensation values, in accordance with characteristics of a primary pilot channel (514) transmitted utilizing a first precoding weight vector. Here, corresponding compensation values may be derived for the reception of a secondary pilot channel (520) transmitted utilizing a precoding weight vector orthogonal to the first precoding weight vector, simply based on those determined for the primary pilot channel (514). That is, the compensation value assignment for receiving the second pilot channel may act as a slave to its master, being the
Abstract:
Systems and methods to configure and schedule asymmetric carriers on an uplink between communication devices are described herein. An access node is provided to reserve a common-channel-free carrier for communication with an access terminal. The access node may reserve the carrier for communication with the access terminal based on path loss data between the access node and the access terminal. Further, an adaptive rise-over-thermal (RoT) target may be employed for communication over any carrier.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives, by a user equipment (UE) during a first subframe, an indication of a dynamic uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configuration. The apparatus determines an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing based on an uplink reference subframe configuration and at least one of the dynamic UL/DL subframe configuration or a downlink reference subframe configuration. The apparatus selects an uplink subframe for communication based on the determined uplink HARQ timing.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques and apparatus for design of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback bits. The method generally includes obtaining a payload to be transmitted, partitioning the payload into a plurality of blocks, and partitioning each block of the plurality of blocks into a plurality of sections. The method also includes deriving redundancy check information for each section of the plurality of sections, and generating a plurality of codewords, each comprising a block of the plurality of blocks and the redundancy check information for each section of the block, wherein a location of each of the sections in the codewords is determined based on an error rate corresponding to each of the sections.
