Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting positioning reference signals (PRS) differently for passive distributed elements. PRSs for passive distributed elements can be transmitted over disparate resources than those utilized for PRSs at a related access point, using different symbol sequences, and/or the like. In this regard, wireless devices can differentiate between PRSs from access points and those from passive distributed elements, which can mitigate confusion for processes involving such RSs, such as position determining. Alternatively, passive distributed elements can refrain from transmitting PRSs, and a corresponding access point can indicate to wireless devices to only determine positioning based on PRSs. Thus, the wireless devices can utilize the PRSs transmitted from the access point (and not other reference signals transmitted from the passive distributed element) to determine a position.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products to facilitate determining nominal interference from one or more interfering base stations are provided. In one embodiment, the method can include computing a nominal interference. The method can also include transmitting the nominal interference to one or more interfering base stations. The nominal interference can be transmitted to at least one of the one or more interfering base stations to compute a loss in transmission rate to a user equipment in a selected cell if at least one of the one or more interfering base stations transmits over a same set of resources on which the user equipment in the selected cell receives information.
Abstract:
Communicating information (scheduling information) that specifies bundling (concatenation, aggregation) of packets and to respond to the bundling in a wireless communication environment. A user equipment (UE) performs bundling of data packets without reliance on a radio resource grant (a resource grant does not exist). The UE can generate a bundling report comprising information that specifies at least in part the bundling (number of concatenated packets, etc.) and transmits the bundling report to a base station. The information can convey a number of bundled data packets; a number of unbundled data packets at the user equipment; an amount of bundled data at the mobile device; or a combination thereof. The UE can transmit the bundling report in accordance with a preconf igured delivery mode or can receive from the base station an indication of a delivery mode to transmit the bundling report. The base station can utilize the information conveyed in the bundling report to schedule radio resource (s).
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating collision detection are provided. In some embodiments, a method can include: receiving identifying information during one or more time intervals from a plurality of base stations; determining whether at least two different values of the identifying information from the plurality of base stations have been transmitted during the same time interval; and determining that a collision has occurred between at least two of the plurality of base stations in response to determining that the at least two different values of the identifying information from the plurality of base stations have been transmitted during the same time interval.
Abstract:
Aspects are disclosed for sequencing a positioning reference signal. A set of reference symbols associated with a reference signal are allocated, and a base sequence is generated. An extended sequence, which includes the set of reference symbols, is then provided according to the base sequence. The extended sequence is then transmitted in a sub-frame designated as an idle period. Aspects for correlating a positioning reference signal are also disclosed. A sequence of reference symbols is received from a base station during an idle period of the base station. A replicated sequence of reference symbols is generated, and a correlation is ascertained between a subset of the received sequence of reference symbols and a corresponding subset of the replicated sequence of reference symbols. The received sequence of reference symbols is then identified according to the correlation.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate unbundling and processing partial packet data units (PDU). PDUs can be transmitted at a communication layer and can include partial PDUs of a disparate communication layer. Complete SDUs can be determined in the partial PDU and provided to an upper communication layer. In addition, however, the partial PDU can comprise a partial SDU. Upon receiving a remaining or additional portion of the partial PDU, a remaining or additional portion of the partial SDU can be combined with the partial SDU to create a complete SDU (or a larger portion thereof). Where a complete SDU is created, it can be provided to an upper communication layer. Alternatively, the partial PDU can be combined with the remaining portion of the partial PDU to generate a complete or larger PDU, from which the previously incomplete SDU can be retrieved and provided to an upper communication layer.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a technique for pre-bundling the received service data units (SDU) into an SDU bundle in a first communication layer before receiving a scheduling information from a second communication layer and adjusting the SDU bundle when the scheduling information is received.
Abstract:
Various traffic management techniques may be employed in a multi-hop wireless communication system. For example, a decision to transmit data to another node may be based on whether that node is able to effectively transmit its data. A decision to transmit an interference management message may be based on the amount of data a parent node may transmit. A decision to transmit an interference management message may be based on how effectively data is being transmitted. A weight may be assigned for an interference management message based on a traffic scheduling policy.

Abstract:
Techniques for transmitting data with short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a first station (e.g., a base station or a terminal) may receive a message sent by a second station to request reduction of interference on at least one resource. In response to receiving the message, the first station may determine a first transmit power level to use for the at least one resource based on one or more factors such as a priority metric sent in the message, the buffer size at the first station, etc. The first station may send a power decision pilot on the at least one resource at a second transmit power level determined based on the first transmit power level.
