PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus of performing a spatial process by using a nonequivalent modulation system and coding rate (MCS: Modulation and Coding Scheme), that is, a stream-dependent MCS.SOLUTION: Input data may be divided into a plurality of data streams. A spatial process is executed to the data streams to generate a plurality of spatial streams. An MCS to each data stream is selected independently of the others.

At least one technique of space-time block coding (STBC), space-frequency block coding (SFBC), pseudo orthogonal Alamouti coding, time reversal space-time block coding, linear spatial processing, and cyclic delay diversity (CDD) may be executed to the data/spatial streams. An antenna mapping matrix may be applied to the spatial streams. The spatial streams are transmitted via the plurality of transmission antennas. An MCS to each data stream may be decided based on a signal-to-noise ratio for each spatial stream related to the data stream.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for selecting an antenna mapping in multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) enabled wireless communication networks.SOLUTION: A set (candidate set) to be candidates of antenna mappings available at the point of time is determined based upon measured long term channel conditions. An antenna mapping is selected from the candidate set, and the mapping is calibrated with a selected antenna mapping of a receiving side wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). When the selected mappings are calibrated, packet data transmission is started. In an alternative embodiment, a calibration training frame (CTF) is used to calibrate multiple antenna mappings simultaneously or sequentially. Also disclosed are frame formats of a physical layer and a medium access control layer for implementing antenna mapping selection according to this invention.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve a problem that an intra-LTE handover procedure does not provide details regarding UE timing adjustment for synchronous and asynchronous eNode-Bs and details regarding efficient target eNode-B scheduling of resources for UE transmission.SOLUTION: A source eNode-B makes a handover decision based on measurements and sends a handover request to a target eNode-B. The target eNode-B sends a handover response to the source eNode-B. The source eNode-B then sends a handover command to a wireless transmit/receive unit. The handover command includes at least one of reconfiguration information, information regarding timing adjustment, relative timing difference between the source eNode-B and the target eNode-B, information regarding an initial scheduling procedure at the target eNode-B, and measurement information regarding the target eNode-B.

The transitioning may be triggered by implicit rules.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize interference introduced by an uplink common control channel.SOLUTION: There is provided a method and system employing a wireless code-division multiple access technology in which adaptive modulation and coding is utilized in order to achieve improved radio resource utilization and provide increased data rates for user services, where a base station measures uplink interference on all time slots received from mobile terminals UEs and determines the need for uplink control channels. The base station transmits, to the UE, allocation of specific uplink control channels indicating the uplink interference in the time slots and potentially a quality margin. The UE determines an appropriate uplink power level on the basis of a path loss determination made by the UE, the uplink interference and optionally the quality margin. The UE then initiates uplink common control transmission responsive to these determinations.
