Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for effectively implementing a location determination in a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: This invention relates to a method including the steps of: setting a transmission plan of a downlink location-based service (D-LBS) zone based on at least a part of resources available for transmitting location beacons; transmitting a configuration parameter of the D-LBS zone in accordance with the setting; and transmitting one or more location beacon signals using the resource to which the D-LBS zone is allocated in accordance with the transmission plan of the D-LBS zone. In the transmission plan, a different base station is allocated with regard to transmission by a resource of a different D-LBS zone in order to measure a signal location parameter from a plurality of base stations or relay stations or a combination thereof in a network.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributed simultaneous transmit and receive system accomplishing relay stations without incurring additional overhead associated with relaying and without requiring additional configuration to isolate transmit and receive circuits of the relay stations. SOLUTION: A base station transmits to a first relay station while a second relay station transmits to one or more mobile stations associated with the second relay station in a first time frame. The base station transmits to the second relay station while the first relay station transmits to one or more mobile stations associated with the first relay station in a second time frame.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide transceivers, including receivers, and methods of communicating OFDM signals that provide flexibility between throughput and range in wireless local area networks (WLANs). SOLUTION: Modern digital communication system, including WLANs, uses symbol-modulated orthogonal subcarriers as a modulation system to help signals survive in environments having multi-path reflections and/or strong interference. A reconfigurable multichannel receiver can selectively operate in increased throughput modes and/or increased range modes. The receiver can select two or more antennas to receive more than one subchannel of a wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) channel. Maximum-ratio combining can be performed on corresponding symbol-modulated subcarriers from the two or more antennas, and a single OFDM symbol can be generated from the subchannels received by the two or more antennas. In other embodiments, more than one subchannel of a wideband OFDM channel can be received through a single antenna selected from a plurality of spatially diverse antennas.

Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a channel estimator (200) may be adapted to provide a channel estimate based at least in part on an estimated delay spread (232). The channel estimator may be adapted to provide a more accurate channel estimation in the event of a lower estimated delay spread. In one embodiment, the channel estimator provides a frequency domain channel estimate (236), and in another embodiment the channel estimator provides a time domain channel estimate (316).
Abstract:
A quasi-parallel receiver may simultaneously receive signals within several subchannels that comprise a wideband channel. The receiver includes a subchannel filter selection switch that provides a baseband signal to a selected one of a plurality of subchannel low-pass filters. A heterodyne frequency generator provides one of a plurality of heterodyne frequencies to convert an RF signal received within a selected subchannel to the baseband signal. The subchannel low-pass filters accumulate signal information from an associated one of a plurality of subchannels during a filter-input sampling interval. In some embodiments, individual analog-to-digital converters receive the accumulated signal outputs from an associated subchannel filter and generate digital signals for a subsequent Fourier transformation. In some embodiments, a normalized signal output may be provided to the analog-to-digital converters, allowing the use of lower resolution analog-to-digital converters. The analog-to-digital converters may have sampling rates based on the subchannel bandwidth.
Abstract:
Technology for spatial domain beamforming coordination at a low power node (LPN) in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) is disclosed. One method can include the LPN collecting spatial feedback information of macro node interference from a plurality of wireless devices in a LPN cell. The LPN can compile the spatial feedback information into a spatial feedback report. The LPN can send the spatial feedback report from the LPN to a macro node for calculating a beamforming vector to reduce the macro node interference for the plurality of wireless devices in the LPN cell.

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a channel state information packet is encoded by a receiver side device and is fed back to the transmitter side device. The transmitter side device decodes the channel state information packet to extract an estimate of the channel response function.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and apparatuses, for a third generation partnership project (3GPP) enhanced NodeB (eNB) to transmit parameters of a wake-up procedure with a 3GPP user equipment (UE). After the transmission, the eNB may enter a low power state wherein it monitors for the wake-up signal from the UE, the wake-up signal being based at least in part on the transmitted parameters of the wake-up procedure. When the eNB receives the wake-up signal, the eNB may enter the high-power state and transmit a connection establishment signal to the UE.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media, and systems configurations for configuration of downlink coordinated multipoint (CoMP) communications in a wireless communication network. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from an evolved Node B (eNB), a radio resource control (RRC) transmission including channel state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) parameters for a plurality of transmission points. The UE may subsequently receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including a plurality of index bits corresponding to one or more activated transmission points of the plurality of transmission points for which the feedback module is to generate CSI-RS feedback. The eNB may dynamically update the transmission points that are activated for CSI-RS feedback. The UE may receive another MAC CE from the eNB to notify the UE of the updated set of activated transmission points.
