Abstract:
A method for uplink ACK/NACK for LTE TDD. The method includes receiving a frame having multiple subframes wherein a plurality of subframes being downlink subframes and at least one subframe being an uplink subframe. One uplink subframe can contain an acknowledgment/non-acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) corresponding to at least one of the plurality of downlink subframes. To transmit ACK/NACKs, one uplink subframe for ACK/NACK is used in response to one of the plurality of downlink subframes. In addition, ACK/NACK responses can be bundled into one uplink subframe for at least two of the plurality of downlink subframes. In an embodiment, multiple ACK/NACK responses can be used in one uplink subframe that corresponds to at least two of the plurality of downlink subframes in a multiple feedback configuration. One uplink subframe for ACK/NACK responses and bundling multiple ACK/NACK responses is for a bundled feedback configuration.
Abstract:
A method for blindly detecting a precoding matrix index used to transmit a data or control signal is provided. The method includes receiving at a mobile station (102) a common reference signal and user specific data and control signal weighted by precoding matrix. An objective function is applied to the received reference signal and user specific data and control signal that minimizes the objective function for each of at least one rank used to transmit the received user specific data and control signal and each of known possible modulation constellations used to transmit the received data/control signal to determine the precoding matrix index (PMI).

Abstract:
A Q-Filter is a reconfigurable technique that performs a continuum of linear and nonlinear filtering operations. It is modeled by unique mathematical structure, utilizing a function called the Q-Measure, defined using a set of adjustable kernel parameters to enable efficient hardware and software implementations of a variety of useful, new and conventional, filtering operations. The Q-Measure is a novel is based on an extension of the well-known Sugeno Q-Measure.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) optimizes cell edge performance and spectral efficiency by determining an adaptive power control parameter based on system performance metrics measured by a serving Node B (111) and further measured, and reported to the serving Node B, by neighboring Node B's (110, 112). The adaptive power control parameter is then used to determine an uplink transmit power of a user equipment (UE) (101-104) served by the serving Node B. The uplink transmit power may be determined by the Node B and then conveyed to the UE, or the Node B may broadcast the adaptive power control parameter to the UE and the UE may self-determine the uplink transmit power. In addition, as a frequency reuse factor of one has been proposed for such communication systems, interference levels may be further improved by employment of an intra-site interference cancellation scheme in the sectors serviced by the Node B.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a manner in which feedback from remote units (120-122) involved in a broadcast / multicast service session can be obtained using shared wireless resources and/or shared signaling sequences. Having feedback information from at least some of the remote units involved in the session enables the network equipment (101) to dynamically manage the session and potentially improve the performance of the session. Moreover, utilizing shared wireless resources and/or shared signaling sequences may reduce the overhead cost of obtaining the feedback as compared to utilizing dedicated resources.
Abstract:
A method in a wireless communication network (100) wherein information is communicated in a frame structure wherein each frame includes multiple sub-frames, including grouping at least two wireless communication terminals in a group, assigning the group to less than all sub-frames constituting a communication frame, and assigning a radio resource assignment control channel of one or more assigned sub-frames to the group. The control channel is used to assign radio resources to one or more terminals of the group.
Abstract:
In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system (100), a user equipment (102, 104) reports channel quality information that is sufficient to construct a fading profile of a frequency bandwidth and that does not consuming the overhead resulting from the reporting of CQI for every sub-band of the frequency bandwidth. In the communication system, the frequency bandwidth (320) may be represented by multiple sub-band levels (n), wherein each sub-band level comprises a division of the frequency bandwidth into a number of sub-bands different from the number of sub-bands of the other sub-band levels. The user equipment measures a channel quality associated with each sub-band of a sub-band level of the multiple sub-band levels, selects a sub-band of the sub-band level based on the measured channel qualities, and reports channel quality information associated with the selected sub-band to a radio access network.
