Abstract:
Techniques for sending a MIMO transmission using a combination of cyclic delay diversity and precoding are described. A set of delays (e.g., zero del ay, small delay, and large delay) for cyclic delay diversity and a set of pr ecoding matrices may be supported. In one design, a Node B may select a dela y specifically for a UE or for a set of UEs served by the Node B. In another design, a UE may evaluate different combinations of precoding matrix and de lay, determine the combination with the best performance, and send this comb ination of precoding matrix and delay to the Node B. The Node B may perform precoding with the precoding matrix and then processing for cyclic delay div ersity based on the selected delay. Alternatively, the Node B may perform pr ocessing for cyclic delay diversity based on the selected delay and then pre coding with the precoding matrix.

Abstract:
Techniques for supporting MIMO transmission with layer permutation are described. In one aspect, multiple codewords may be generated for transmission from multiple antennas (e.g., virtual antennas), with the number of codewords being less than the number of antennas. Each codeword may be mapped across the multiple antennas. Two codewords may be generated. For rank 3, the first codeword may be mapped to one layer (or one antenna on each subcarrier), and the second codeword may be mapped to two layers (or two antennas on each subcarrier). For rank 4, each codeword may be mapped to two layers. In another aspect, a base CQI indicative of an average signal quality may be determined. A delta CQI indicative of improvement over the average signal quality may also be determined. In yet another aspect, selection may be performed with different penalty factors for different ranks or number of codewords.

Abstract:
User equipment (UE) associated with synchronous networks operate in a synchronous mode while UEs associated with asynchronous networks operate in an asynchronous mode. When operating in a synchronous mode, a UE can significantly improve performance of synchronization signal detection, data decoding, and tracking loop management by using the interference cancellation (IC) techniques that are not available in an asynchronous mode of operation. Obtaining synchronization indicators and determining the synchronization status of the current network by UE is disclosed. The determination may be based on the synchronization indicator, whether detected through signal detection, signal measurements, signal analysis, or the like.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method to enhance coverage in a heterogeneous wireless network wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes generating a reference signal indicating a plurality of transmit antenna ports and generating modulation symbols. Modulation symbols are assigned to each of the plurality of transmit antenna ports, in accordance with a spatial diversity coding scheme for the plurality of transmit antenna ports. At least one of the modulation symbols assigned to at least one of the plurality of transmit antenna ports is muted prior to transmission in accordance with the spatial diversity coding scheme. The non-muted modulation symbols and the reference signal are transmitted on the other of the plurality of transmit antenna ports.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate precoding signals transmitted over downlink control channels to provide transmit diversity. A dedicated reference signal (DRS) related to a wireless device can additionally be precoded such that the wireless device can determine a precoder or related parameters based at least in part on performing a channel estimate for the precoded DRS signal. The wireless device can utilize the determined precoder or related parameters to decode precoded signals received over downlink control channel resources. Additionally or alternatively, an access point can signal a sequence of precoders to the wireless device. The access point can cycle through the sequence of precoders to precode signals for transmission over downlink control channel resources, and the wireless device can decode the signals based at least in part on similarly cycling through the precoders for received signals.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may employ a multiplexing configuration based on latency and efficiency considerations. The base station may transmit a resource grant, a signal indicating the length of a downlink (DL) transmission time interval (TTI), and a signal indicating the length of a subsequent uplink (UL) TTI to one or more user equipment (UEs). The base station may dynamically select a new multiplexing configuration by, for example, setting the length of an UL TTI to zero or assigning multiple UEs resources in the same DL TTI. Latency may also be reduced by employing block feedback, such as block hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. A UE may determine and transmit HARQ feedback for each transport block (TB) of a set of TBs, which may be based on a time duration of a downlink TTI.
