Abstract:
A method for determining resources to be decoded by the UE to retrieve physical downlink control channels. A method is in a UE or an eNB and comprises the following steps of: i. determining a start position of a unit of resources in one physical resource block pair; ii, determining a gap between two of the units; and iii. determining a set of units, in a given plurality of physical resource block pairs, according to said start position and said gap, as the resources to be decoded. In this way, the eNB and the UE can locate all the resources for the EPDCCH, namely the search space is determined. This aspect allows a balance between the number of blind decoding and eNB scheduling flexibility in the EPDCCH search space.
Abstract:
A method is provided for receiving, at a receiving device, a control information message from a transmitting device. The method includes monitoring a first plurality of reception resources contained in a first frequency range in a first subframe and a second plurality of reception resources contained in a second frequency range in a second subframe. The method also includes receiving a control information message in at least one of the monitored reception resources. The first frequency range is at least partly non-overlapping with the second frequency range.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method, in a first node, for performing Co MP-based resource allocation for a second node, the method comprising steps of: a. selecting at least one Co MP hypothesis from among a plurality of Co MP hypotheses based on measurement theses based on measurement information reported by a second node; b. transmitting a resource allocation request to the second node; c. receiving feedback information from the second node with response to the resource allocation request, and performing a corresponding operation. According to the method of the present embodiment, the CoMP transmission performance can be enhanced, and the second node has more freedom to select a CoMP hypothesis more suitable for the second node based on its own status.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for data transmission in a machine type communication device terminal, comprising steps of: performing the following steps when the terminal receives cell common message: A. receiving first indication information from an EPDCCH on a first resource block, the first indication information indicating a second resource block for transmitting the cell common message; B. receiving the cell common message from a PDSCH on the second resource block; performing the following steps when the terminal receives downlink data: I. receiving second indication information from EPDCCH on a third resource block; IL detecting whether DCI information transmitted to the terminal exists in the second indication information, and if the DCI information transmitted to the terminal exists, II-1. decoding information of a fourth resource block in the DCI information; II-2. receiving the downlink data transmitted from the base station to the terminal from the PDSCH on the fourth resource block.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for improving random access in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: including, in the system information transmitted by a base station, information about transmission of a second message or both information about transmission of the second message and information about transmission of a fourth message; and including, in the second message transmitted by the base station, information about transmission of a third message, or both information about transmission of the third message and information about transmission of the fourth message; such that achieving a random access procedure without PDCCH scheduling, improving spectral efficiency of a UE with a poor coverage performance, and reducing implementation complexity of the system. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a corresponding apparatus for performing the method.
Abstract:
A user equipment method, user equipment and a computer program product are disclosed. The user equipment method comprises: determining a first indicator indicative of a potential throughput for a channel between the user equipment and a base station when using a network assist interference suppression scheme; determining a second indicator indicative of a potential throughput for the channel between the user equipment and the base station without using the network assist interference suppression scheme; calculating an effective indicator indicative of an effective potential throughput for the channel between the user equipment and the base station based on the first indicator and the second indicator; and transmitting the effective indicator to the base station. In this way, rather than transmitting only an indicator of the potential throughput when not using the network assist interference suppression scheme or only transmitting an indicator which indicates the throughput when using the network assist interference suppression scheme, instead an effective throughput is transmitted which may be based on both of these indicators and so is likely to be more stable. Also, by only transmitting a single throughput indicator, the need for additional signalling to carry those additional indicators is avoided, which enables an improved indicator to be provided using existing signalling.
Abstract:
A method for supporting multiple-input-multiple-output communications with a base station of a wireless telecommunications network, user equipment and a computer program product are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of establishing a grant associated with a secondary stream; and determining a transport block size for said secondary stream in accordance with a relationship between grant and transport block size, said relationship differing from a primary relationship between grant and transport block size used to determine a primary transport block size for a primary stream. By using this approach, where a different relationship, mapping, function or lookup table is used to derive the transport block size for the secondary stream to that relationship, mapping or function used to derive the transport block size for the primary stream from the grant of the primary stream enables different transport block sizes to be used, each of which may be appropriate to its associated stream.
