Abstract:
Techniques to support multihop relay in a wireless communication system a re described. In an aspect, a relay station receives data and a first pilot from an upstream station, e.g., a base station or another relay station. The relay station derives a channel estimate based on the first pilot and perfo rms detection for the data based on the channel estimate. The relay station resends the data and sends a second pilot to a downstream station, e.g., a s ubscriber station or another relay station. Each pilot may be sent in accord ance with a pilot format selected for that pilot. The first and second pilot s may be sent using the same or different pilot formats. The relay station m ay receive channel information from the second station and may forward the c hannel information to the first station and/or select a rate for data transm ission to the second station based on the channel information.
Abstract:
In a power control messaging scheme for wireless communication, a wireles s node sends vectorized information to another wireless node that uses the i nformation to control its transmit power. In some aspects, the vectorized in formation may relate to interference observed at a wireless node. In some as pects, the vectorized information may relate to power adjustment offsets. In some aspects, the information may be vectorized based on one or more of dif ferent quality of service classes, different assignments within a frame, dif ferent permutation zones, different channel differences, different locations of a wireless node, different channel types, different other sector interfe rence values, and different assignment sizes. In some aspects, a wireless no de transmits a power control message via an uplink map in an assignment mess age.
Abstract:
To manage in-device coexistence between multiple radios for different radio access technologies (RATs) on a wireless device, an autonomous denial rate may be specified for the wireless device from a base station of a first RAT. The communications for a second RAT of the wireless device may then be adjusted based on the autonomous denial rate. The wireless device may also request TDM or FDM communication configurations for the first RAT to manage communications. Measurement reporting may be scheduled around denied uplink subframes of the first RAT.

Abstract:
The present disclosure proposes different methods of utilizing dedicated control channels in a multi-hop relay system. For one embodiment of the present disclosure, dedicated control channels may be used to power control communication entities in the multi-hop relay system. For another embodiment of the present disclosure, bandwidth resources of dedicated control channels may be employed to control a sleep mode at a subscriber station. For yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, dedicated control channels of the multi-hop relay system may be exploited for sending multicast and broadcast service messages.
Abstract:
Power control for wireless communication may involve determining the transmit power to be used by a wireless device. A wireless device using open loop power control may select a transmit power based on an open loop power equation where a parameter of the power equation may be based on one or more power control messages received from another wireless device. In some aspects, path loss may be estimated for open loop power control and a value for Offset_BSperSS may be obtained from information provided by a base station for closed loop power control. To facilitate a stable combined open-closed loop algorithm, open loop power control may be used to compensate channel changes based on reciprocity, and closed loop power control may be used to compensate interference variations (e.g., as compared to NI provided by a DCD message).
Abstract:
A system and method to facilitate voice activity detection and coexistence manager decisions is provided and include identifying a connection utilizing a first resource and a content stream corresponding to the connection, where the first resource conflicts with a second resource. The content of the content stream is classified into multiple levels based on a value of the content and then a priority is assigned to the first and second resources based on the level of the content of the first resource.
Abstract:
In a multi-radio device, a configurable filter may be placed on the transmit side of an aggressor radio to reduce interference to receive side performance of a victim radio. The filter may be adaptively configured based on performance of the victim radio. The configurable filter may be in the form of a notch filter. The depth and width of the notch filter may be configured. The filter may be used to create a virtual guard band between an Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band and a cellular band by puncturing a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission nearest to the ISM band or reducing power on the nearest PUCCH transmission.
Abstract:
Techniques for providing multipath protection of a portion of a frame classified as having a first importance level (e.g., critical) are provided. Different cyclic prefix lengths may be used, depending on whether a frame contains information deemed critical.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for supporting coexistence between two different radio access technologies (RATs), such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard and one of the IEEE 802.16 standards, are provided. To accomplish this coexistence, a multi-mode base station (BS) may replace transmission gaps in a frame of a first RAT with subframes or symbols of the second RAT and transmit the resulting dual-RAT frame. In this manner, a single BS may support and communicate according to two different RATs simultaneously.
