Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Various autonomous uplink control channel configurations may be used for unscheduled uplink transmissions. For example, a user equipment (UE) may initiate an unscheduled uplink transmission and may identify an autonomous uplink control channel configuration for the uplink transmission. The UE may transmit control information and data during an initial transmission time interval of a transmission opportunity according to the control channel configuration, where the control channel configuration control may include a number of different waveforms and payload configurations. For example, an autonomous uplink control channel configuration may include control information frequency division multiplexed or time division multiplexed with data and transmitted in one or more frequency interlaces. In some cases, the control channel configuration may include a symbol period for a clear-to-send signal, and one or more symbol periods used a guard period before the data transmission.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for resource coordination and management in a communication environment are disclosed. The resource coordination and management may comprise, for example: transmitting channel and interference measurement signals over a plurality of resources; receiving link signal quality measurements that are based on the transmission of the channel and interference measurement signals over the plurality of resources; exchanging link signal quality measurement information with at least one apparatus, wherein the exchange of the link signal quality measurement information comprises sending information based on the received link signal quality measurements; and determining a data transmission schedule based on the exchange of the link signal quality measurement information.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus of triggering an inter cell interference coordination (ICIC) mechanism in a wireless network. For example, the disclosure presents a method for identifying a pilot pollution metric and determining when a pilot pollution condition based at least on the pilot pollution metric is satisfied. In addition, such as an example method may include triggering an ICIC mechanism when the pilot pollution condition is satisfied. As such, triggering an ICIC mechanism in a wireless network may be achieved.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for overcoming uplink (UL) interference at a femtocell or the like by modifying the estimated interference-plus-noise power in UL power control. In one example, the modification can be specified by a method, operable by a network entity, that may involve determining a level of excess received interference based at least in part on out-of-cell interference (Ioc). In another example, the modification can be specified by a method, operable by a network entity, that may involve determining a difference between the downlink transmit powers of the high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) serving and non-serving cells, with which the UE are in soft handover (SHO) in uplink and is served by the HSDPA serving cell in downlink.
Abstract:
Transmit power for an access point is controlled based on measurement reports received by the access point from one or more access terminals that are not currently being served by the access point. In some aspects, transmit power is controlled based on the number of received messages that correspond to a particular event. In some aspects, transmit power is controlled based on the contents of the received messages. For example, the access point may use signal strength information included in the messages to determine a level of transmit power that mitigates interference at a defined subset of reporting access terminals.
Abstract:
An access point transmits cell information via a physical layer channel. In some cases, the cell information sent on the physical layer channel comprises a physical layer identifier. For example, a physical layer channel may be modulated based on a cell identifier and/or a closed subscriber group identifier associated with the access point. Through the use of this cell information, an access point may be quickly identified for mobility and/or interference management operations. In addition, this cell information may be used for finger-printing operations.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for adjusting a transmission power at a femto node are described herein. According to the systems, devices, and methods herein, a measurement of a signal transmitted from a transmitting node may be communicated to the femto node, for example from a user equipment or a neighboring femto node, for use in adjusting the power. The transmitting node may comprise the femto node, a macro node, or a neighboring femto node. In addition, statistics regarding such measurements may be communicated to the femto node for use in adjusting the power. The femto node may also adjust the power based on unsuccessful registration attempts or interference communications received at the femto node.

Abstract:
A method for wireless communications where a control packet is not transmitted for all transmissions of a new data packet. A control packet is only sent with a retransmission of a data packet where the previously transmitted data packet is not completely received. The control packet contains information related to a previously transmitted data packet. The previously transmitted data packet and the retransmission data packet are derived from common data. The common data is derived based on the information related to the previously transmitted data packet, wherein the previously transmitted data packet and the retransmission data packet are associated with a series of data packets.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for channel access for wireless communications. One aspect provides a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes obtaining a channel occupancy time (COT) structure information (COT-SI) message and obtaining at least one downlink control information (DCI) indicating multiple beams and listen before talk (LBT) scheme indications associated with the multiple beams. The method generally includes determining an LBT scheme to be used for transmission via each of the multiple beams based on the LBT scheme indications and the COT-SI message, and outputting signaling for transmission on each of the multiple beams based on the LBT scheme.
