Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes a receiver and a processor configured to receive information from a network node indicating an assignment of periodic time intervals to transmit sounding signals. The WTRU includes a transmitter and the processor configured to transmit sounding signals to the network node in the assigned periodic time intervals in response to the received information. The WTRU does not transmit any data at a same time that the WTRU transmits the sounding signals. The transmitted sounding signals from the WTRU are distinguishable from sounding signals from other WTRUs.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed herein for controlling transmit power in a station (STA) of a wireless local area network (WLAN). A STA may transmit, to another STA, transmit power step size information that indicates a maximum transmission power for an operational bandwidth that the STA supports. The STA may receive, from another STA, a signal in one of the plurality of operational bandwidths that the STA supports. The received signal may include a transmission power based on the transmitted adjustment step size setting.
Abstract:
Several methods are provided for communicating emergency call capability information between a station and an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network. The methods include advertising by the AP of its emergency call capabilities and announcing by the station of its emergency call capabilities. The AP can advertise its emergency call capabilities in a beacon frame, a probe response frame, a reassociation response frame, or a reauthentication response frame. The station can announce its emergency call capabilities in an association request frame, a reassociation request frame, an authentication request frame, or a reauthentication request frame.
Abstract:
A WTRU receives a control message intended for the WTRU in a shared physical radio resource space in a transmission time interval (TTI) monitored by the WTRU. The WTRU determines whether the control message is intended for the WTRU based on WTRU identity-masked cyclic redundancy check bits. The WTRU processes the control message. The control message has radio resource assignment information and a separate indication indicating whether the control message is a type of control message associated with an uplink or a downlink transmission. The WTRU processes a downlink transmission received in assigned radio resources in the TTI on a condition that the indication indicates that the control message type is associated with a downlink transmission. The WTRU transmits an uplink transmission in assigned radio resources in a subsequent TTI on a condition that the indication indicates that the control message type is associated with an uplink transmission.

Abstract:
A method and wireless multi-cell communication system for providing high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) services. The system includes a radio network controller (RNC) in communication with a plurality of base stations. The RNC sends a control signal to at least one base station having a plurality of timeslots, e.g., in a time division duplex (TDD) system and/or frames including transmission timing intervals (TTIs), e.g., in a frequency division duplex (FDD) system assigned thereto for the establishment of HSDPA channels. The control signal indicates a maximum allowed HSDPA transmit power for each of the timeslots and/or TTIs. The base station sends a feedback signal to the RNC indicating the results of measurements of the power of the transmitted HSDPA timeslots and/or TTIs during a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes circuitry configured to receive information from a base station indicating an assignment of periodic time slots to transmit sounding signals and circuitry configured to transmit sounding signals to the base station in the assigned periodic time slots in response to the received information, wherein a timing of transmission of the sounding signals in response to the received information differs between a time division duplex mode and a frequency division duplex mode, and wherein the transmitted sounding signals are distinguishable from sounding signals from other WTRUs.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes circuitry configured to receive first information from a wireless network, the first information indicating a first pattern of time intervals in which the WTRU is to monitor a plurality of control channels; not monitor the plurality of control channels in time intervals outside the first pattern of time intervals; and receive second information from the wireless network, the second information indicating a second pattern of time intervals in which the WTRU is to transmit control information on a control channel.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) generates a piggybacked acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (PAN) field and a PAN check sequence (PCS) from the PAN field. The WTRU masks the PCS with a temporary flow identity (TFI) that includes a specific sequence of a plurality of bit values that represents information other than an identification of a particular TBF. The WTRU transmits data that includes the PAN field and the masked PCS.
