Abstract:
Embodiments are described in connection with enhancing performance in a wireless communication system using codebook technology. According to an embodiment is a method for enhancing performance in a wireless communication environment. The method can include receiving a user preference for a transmission mode, associating the user preference with an entry or entries in a codebook, and assigning the user to a transmission mode corresponding to the entry or entries. The transmission mode can be one of a precoding, space division multiple access (SDMA), SDMA precoding, multiple input multiple output (MIMO), MIMO precoding, MEVIO- SDMA and a diversity. Each entry can correspond to a transmission mode.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a wireless device having collocated radios employing different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, a second radio of the wireless device may receive a first scheduling message. The first scheduling message may include information relating to timing, priority, transmission power, and radio capabilities. Using this scheduling message, a determination of whether a first radio employing a first RAT and the second radio employing a second RAT can transmit in parallel may be made. A first transmission on the first radio may be coordinated with a second transmission on the second radio based on the determination of whether the first radio and the second radio can transmit in parallel. A number of data units may be aggregated into an aggregate frame to be transmitted by the second radio. The number of data units may be based on the scheduling message.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes adjusting a channel quality indicator (CQI) to compensate for coexistence interference experienced between communication resources (such as an LTE radio and a Bluetooth radio). The CQI may be set to zero, falsely indicating to a serving enhanced NodeB that a UE is out of range, thereby creating a gap in LTE operation that may be used by an alternate radio access technology. To compensate for fluctuating interference, the CQI may be adjusted to incorporate average coexistence interference over a period of time. Alternatively, the CQI at a time may incorporate coexistence interference regardless of whether interference is experienced at that specific time. A CQI value may also be boosted to compensate for a CQI backoff. CQI may be adjusted to avoid a spiral of death effect.
Abstract:
Embodiments determine that interference between two radio transmissions is causing, or has the potential to cause, a network device to fail to receive acknowledgement packets. In response to such a determination, the embodiments lower an acknowledgement packet transmission bit rate to increase the likelihood that an acknowledgement packet can be successfully received, thereby avoiding needless retransmission of packets that have been successfully received.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating operation of wireless local area network (WLAN) and ANT systems. A coexistence manager may determine an operating mode of the ANT transceiver and selectively enable and disable the ANT and WLAN transceivers based on the operating mode to reduce the potential for interference.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may reduce non-linear interference on a signal received at a receiving RAT by using a determined operating parameter of a transmitting radio access technology (RAT) of the user equipment (UE), which transmits a signal according to the operating parameter. The UE may estimate the non-linear interference in digital baseband to a receiving RAT of the UE from a digital baseband portion of the transmitted signal of the transmitting RAT by applying non-linear transformation based on the determined operating parameter of the transmitting RAT and cancel the estimated non-linear interference in baseband from a signal received by the receiving RAT.
Abstract:
In a multi-radio user equipment, communications on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) radio operating in Wi-Fi mode may be aligned to reduce interference between the two radios. Communications of the WLAN radio may be aligned to the LTE radio using Notice of Absence (NoA) functionality.
Abstract:
In user equipments (UEs) with multiple radios, interference between those radios may be reduced by monitoring radio performance and adjusting aggressor transmit power levels to ensure victim and aggressor performance stay within desired operational levels. Various factors may determine when a reduced power approach is desired. Such factors may include aggressor transmit power, received signal strength indicator, victim error rate, throughput loss, coverage impact, etc. Various methods of reducing transmit power may be used. For example, for Long Term Evolution communications, a power headroom report may be altered to adjust a modulation coding scheme and bandwidth allocated for a particular UE. For Bluetooth communications a power control mechanism may be overridden to ensure a device stays within a desired transmit power. A power reduction loop may be employed to monitor a device's transmit power.
