Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a data rate of a transmission in a wireless communication system during handoff. Controlling the data rate includes receiving transmissions from a plurality of base stations, wherein at least one of the received transmissions includes an acknowledgement message. Then determining a rate control command included within transmissions of the base station that includes the acknowledgement message and using the command to control the data rate. Controlling the data rate also includes receiving transmissions from a plurality of base stations. Then determining a plurality of rate control commands included within the received transmissions from the plurality of base stations. The rate control commands are then combined and used to control the data rate.
Abstract:
An outer encoder (612) and an inner encoder (622, 632) encode subsets of information to be transmitted, to improve protection by adding redundancy. The redundancy permits decoding of the information from less than a complete encoded block of information. The use of a combiner 644 at an outer decoder (648) enables better outer decoding of symbols.
Abstract:
Techniques for retransmitting data via RLP in a CDMA (e.g., cdma2000) system with a first retransmission mechanism provided by the RLP and a second retransmission mechanism provided by an HARQ-CF. In one method, missing RLP frames are first detected (e.g., by a receiver RLP). A dynamic timer is then maintained (e.g., by a receiver HARQ-CF) for each RLP frame detected to be missing. The dynamic timers are event-driven and have variable time durations. Each dynamic timer is updated based on events known to the receiver HARQ-CF. Fixed timers with fixed time durations may also be maintained (e.g., by the receiver RLP) for the missing RLP frames. Whether or not a missing RLP frame is lost is determined based on the dynamic timer and the fixed timer (if any) maintained for the RLP frame. A NAK may be issued for retransmission of each RLP frame deemed to be lost.
Abstract:
Transmissions on the dedicated channel are encoded using a set of parameters that are picked from a large selection of potential parameters. If the remote station does not know the particular set of parameters that were used by a base station, then the remote station would have to attempt to decode the transmission using every set of parameters, until the transmission is decoded correctly. This is an inefficient methodology. Hence, transmission format information is typically transmitted on a broadcast channel so that a remote station could receive the transmission format information. However, the broadcast channel has reliability problems. New methods and apparatus are presented to allow a base station to determine an overlapping set of Walsh code sequences that can be used to send the transmission format information on the dedicated channel, rather than a broadcast channel. (620) Using the overlapping set allows the remote station to decode the information.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented for dynamically adjusting parameters of an outer-loop algorithm, which is used to determine the feasibility of a transmission format. The parameters of the outer-loop algorithm are adjusted according to channel conditions. In one embodiment, an erasure-based approach is used to determine whether to incrementally increase or incrementally decrease a margin parameter in the outer-loop algorithm. Once one margin parameter is altered, other margin parameters can be adjusted accordingly. (500)

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to use for transmitting a downlink signal to a user equipment (UE) on a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The LBT procedure may be a group LBT procedure associated with a first set of contention window durations or an individual listen-before talk procedure associated with a second set of contention window durations. The base station may determine a contention window duration corresponding to the identified LBT procedure, perform the identified LBT procedure using the determined contention window duration, and transmit the downlink signal to the UE based on the performed LBT procedure.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reuse one channel access for new radio communications in unlicensed spectrum. A method that may be performed by a first base station (BS) includes occupying a bandwidth, based on a category 4 (CAT4) listen before talk (LBT) procedure on the bandwidth, wherein the CAT4 LBT procedure is based on a first contention window (CW); arranging a category 2 (CAT2) LBT occasion for the bandwidth during a channel occupancy time (COT) for the bandwidth; and receiving an indication that at least a second BS has occupied the bandwidth during the CAT2 LBT occasion.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to automatic frequency coordination (AFC) for spectrum sharing among multiple network operating entities are provided. A first wireless communication device transmits, to a spectrum access coordination entity, a spectrum access request. The first wireless communication device receives, from the spectrum access coordination entity in response to the spectrum access request, a configuration including at least a medium access protocol parameter for performing a medium access procedure in a spectrum shared by a plurality of network operating entities.
Abstract:
Autonomous uplink (AUL) for wideband new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) operations is disclosed. For user equipments (UEs) that have been configured for AUL transmissions and have received an activation signal to activate the AUL capabilities, further indications may be used to enable AUL transmissions on AUL transmission opportunities (TxOPs) that overlap the timing of a current TxOP reserved by a serving base station, but that are allocated outside of the resources reserved for the current TxOP. A UE that identifies a desired, next AUL TxOP that overlaps the current base station-initiated TxOP duration, but is allocated for resources outside of the current TxOP resources determines whether it has obtained an enablement indication either directly from the serving base station or implicitly, based on current conditions at the UE. When the UE determines that it has obtained an enabling indication, it may then perform AUL transmissions via the overlapping AUL TxOP.
