PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate assigning resources for an anchor carrier and an additional carrier by use of a grant message.SOLUTION: The grant message communicated by use of an anchor carrier can include resource information for a plurality of carriers. Moreover, the systems and methodologies facilitate identifying control information for an anchor carrier and/or an additional carrier on the basis of an operating mode. The operating mode is a legacy mode or an extended mode. On the basis of the operating mode, particular resources associated with control regions are monitored for control information for each of anchor carrier(s) or additional carrier(s).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide closed loop and open loop power control techniques for each antenna of user equipment (UE).SOLUTION: An access point may measure signals received from each antenna of the user equipment, calculate a power adjustment parameter for each antenna of the UE, and transmit the parameters to the UE. The UE may use the adjustment parameters to determine a transmit power value for each antenna. In addition, the UE may measure a path loss for each antenna and update the transmit power per antenna on the basis of the path loss and other parameters.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for facilitating a radio link failure determination.SOLUTION: A wireless terminal is configured to monitor a control channel quality of a control signal over at least one control carrier. A radio link failure determination is then made on the basis of the control channel quality of the at least one control carrier. In other embodiments, rather than basing the radio link failure determination solely on the set of control carriers, the wireless terminal is configured to monitor a control channel quality over at least one additional carrier, not included in the set of control carriers, in response to a link loss detected over each of the set of control carriers. For such embodiments, the radio link failure determination is then made on the basis of the control channel quality of the additional carrier(s).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which makes it possible to communicate retransmission feedback related to multicarrier resource assignments.SOLUTION: The method makes it possible to indicate feedback parameters for a plurality of single carrier assignments, multicarrier assignments and the like according to single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), relaxed SC-FDMA, etc. Feedback in relaxed SC-FDMA can be bundled by a mobile device to conserve power. In addition, a downlink assignment indicator (DAI) can be utilized to detect and indicate lost grants.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectuate or facilitate multichannel feedback in multichannel wireless communication environments.SOLUTION: Systems and/or methods are provided that construct a carrier set, classify a carrier as belonging to the carrier set, utilize the carrier as representative of all carriers included in the carrier set to measure channel quality of the carrier, and transmit a CQI on the basis at least in part of the channel quality of the carrier. The broadcast CQI is representative of all carriers included in the carrier set.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable multicarrier wireless communication systems to receive multichannel quality feedback from a plurality of user devices during legacy single carrier communication.SOLUTION: CQI reporting regions of PUCCH formats are expanded for multiple DL carriers in order to receive CQI feedback of the multiple DL carriers (602). Quality feedback of wideband carriers is reported as a CQI for all the DL carriers (604). A table defining a subband size and bandwidth parts as a function of the system bandwidth is expanded to include larger bandwidths (606). Subband CQI reporting is done beyond the defined bandwidth parts with certain periodicity (608).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for reducing overhead system information between nodes and user equipment (UE).SOLUTION: Among the carriers, it is beneficial to have some special carriers designated by configurations in order to provide synchronization, system information, paging, data and control for multi-carrier enabled UE. Thereby, overhead system information can be reduced. For instance, synchronization and paging for a certain cell are not provided on all carriers. A carrier can provide backward compatibility for single carrier UE for access, synchronization, broadcast, and new control region within data regions of the legacy terminals. Coordination between nodes for selecting anchor carriers that mitigate interference and for transmit power control for non-anchor carriers provide further network performance advantages.

Abstract:
TRANSMISSÃO DE DADOS EM AGREGAÇÃO DE PORTADORA COM DIFERENTES CONFIGURAÇÕES DE PORTADORA. Técnicas são fornecidas para agregar portadoras com diferentes configurações de portadora. As portadoras podem incluir ambas portadoras dúplex por divisão de tempo (TDD) e portadoras dúplex por divisão de frequência (FDD), que podem ser configuradas de tal modo que a informação de controle para os dois tipos de portadora é transportada pela portadora TDD. Em um aspecto, uma associação entre um conjunto de subquadros incluindo ambos os subquadros TDD e FDD, é determinada. A associação pode operar para distribuir informação de controle para a portadora FDD sobre subquadros de uplink da portadora TDD para conseguir um equilíbrio de carga. Em alternativa, a associação pode operar para minimizar um retardo de retorno de solicitação de repetição automática híbrida (HARQ). A portadora TDD pode prover concessões de recursos para as portadoras agregadas e a associação pode ser usada para identificar os subquadros de ambas as portadoras que podem ser programadas em um determinado subquadro de DL.
