Abstract:
A method for facilitating multiple-antenna wireless communication, comprising: employing a wired or wireless communication interface to obtain data identifying a WCD and a potential wireless partner of the WCD; employing a processor to generate indexing parameters facilitating distributed processing for multiple-antenna communication for the WCD or wireless partner; mapping the respective indexing parameters to respective instructions for independent implementation of the communication at the WCD or wireless partner; identifying respective wireless channels and resources for the WCD or wireless partner to be employed in implementing the communication; and employing the communication interface to forward the indexing parameters to the WCD.
Abstract:
Providing for fair resource sharing among wireless nodes in a wireless communication environment is described herein. By way of example, fairness can comprise establishing a set of resource sharing credits for wireless nodes. By expending credits, a node can borrow a resource of another node, to enable or enhance operation of the borrowing node. Credits for the borrowing node are decreased based on consumption of a shared resource, or credits for the lending node are increased based on such consumption, or both. Once an amount of credits expires, a node can be restricted from borrowing further resources until enough resources are lent to build up a suitable amount of credits. Accordingly, fairness can comprise correlating shared resource consumption with shared resource provisioning, to encourage participation in cooperative wireless communications.
Abstract:
Techniques for sending low reuse preambles in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, a base station sends a low reuse preamble on reserved frequency resources to allow terminals to detect the base station even in the presence of strong interfering base stations. The base station generates the low reuse preamble to include a pilot portion and a data portion. The base station determines frequency resources reserved for sending low reuse preambles by base stations. The base station then sends the low reuse preamble on the reserved frequency resources, e.g., at a pseudo-randomly selected time. A terminal detects for low reuse preambles sent by the base stations on the reserved frequency resources. The terminal recovers information for a base station from a detected low reuse preamble.
Abstract:
A method of reducing computational complexity for a fixed point neural network operating in a system having a limited bit width in a multiplier-accumulator (MAC) includes reducing a number of bit shift operations when computing activations in the fixed point neural network. The method also includes balancing an amount of quantization error and an overflow error when computing activations in the fixed point neural network.
Abstract:
For range expansion, a determination to enter range expansion may be made based on a signal strength differential for user equipment (UE) communications between a first class of base stations (dominant interfer) er and a second class of base stations (victim cells). If the signal strength differential is beyond a certain threshold, range expansion may be implemented. In range expansion, a signal is transmitted, on a resource coordinated with at least one of the first class of base stations, from one of the second class of base stations to the UE which could experience dominant interference from one of the first class of base stations if coordination were not performed. Transmission power may be reduced from one of the first class of base stations on that resource (power resricted). The second signal may be transmitted within the region of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate techniques for design of relay backhaul to support mobility of relay nodes in a wireless communication system. According to various aspects herein, techniques are provided to enable and support the use of mobile relays and to facilitate handover of mobile relays between respective donor cells. More particularly, techniques are provided herein for relay backhaul control channel assignment associated with hand in or hand out of mobile relays, access/backhaul resource partitioning for mobile relays, and management of quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a relay handover.
Abstract:
The described aspects include methods and apparatus for aggregating carriers over a backhaul link between a relay and an evolved Node B (eNB). A first set of subframes of at least a first carrier of a plurality of carriers configured for communicating with an eNB over a backhaul link can be determined. A second set of subframes of at least a second carrier of the plurality of carriers configured for backhaul link communications is also determined, wherein the second set of subframes are different from the first set of subframes. Data received over a plurality of access link carriers can then be communicated to the eNB over the first carrier and the second carrier based at least on the first set of subframes and the second set of subframes.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting control information in wireless networks. Portions of bandwidth can be blanked for transmitting control information, and the control information transmitters can utilize beacon symbols to convey the control information. In this regard, interference is mitigated with respect to data transmissions over the control information bandwidth. Selected frequencies of the beacon symbols in a codeword can be used to indicate the control information. The codewords can be encoded with an error control code to provide redundancy for decoding in the presence of some interference.
