摘要:
Techniques for transmitting overload indicators over the air to UEs in neighbor cells are described. In one design, an overload indicator may be transmitted as a phase difference between at least one synchronization signal and a reference signal for a cell. In another design, an overload indicator may be transmitted as a phase difference between consecutive transmissions of at least one synchronization signal for a cell. In yet another design, an overload indicator may be transmitted by a cell on resources reserved for transmitting the overload indicator. In yet another design, an overload indicator may be transmitted by a cell on a low reuse channel or a broadcast channel. For all designs, a UE may receive overload indicators from neighbor cells, determine the loading of each neighbor cell based on the overload indicator for that cell, and control its operation based on the loading of the neighbor cells.

Techniques for dynamically assigning acknowledgement (ACK) resource to a user equipment (UE) are described. For dynamic scheduling, a scheduling message may be used to send scheduling information for a single transmission of data. For semi-persistent scheduling, a scheduling message may be used to send a semi-persistent assignment for multiple transmissions of data. In an aspect, at least one field of a scheduling message, which is normally used to carry scheduling information for dynamic scheduling, may be re-used to carry an ACK resource assignment for semi-persistent scheduling. In one design, a UE may receive a scheduling message carrying a semi-persistent assignment and may obtain an assignment of ACK resource from the at least one field of the scheduling message. The UE may receive a transmission of data sent in accordance with the semi-persistent assignment, determine ACK information for the transmission of data, and send the ACK information with the ACK resource.

A method and apparatus of mitigating interference in a wireless communication network (100) is described, the method comprising reserving (1312) a subframe by a first base station (110a-c) for a second base station (110a-c), sending (1316) a reference signal in a first part of the reserved subframe in accordance with a multicast/broadcast single frequency network, MBSFN, subframe format and sending (1318) no transmissions or transmissions at a low transmit power level in a remaining part of the reserved subframe to reduce interference to stations served by the second base station (110a-c). Also a method an apparatus for the corresponding reserved base stations is described.

A method and apparatus that facilitates radio link monitoring are described, the method comprising receiving (620) a set of channel quality indicator measurements, wherein the set of channel quality indicator measurements is associated with a set of configured downlink carriers monitored by a wireless terminal (304), updating (625) an active set of carriers (308) based on the set of channel quality indicator measurements, wherein the active set of carriers (308) is an active carrier subset of the set of configured downlink carriers, ascertaining (605) a set of control carriers based on an updated active set of carriers (308), wherein the set of control carriers is a control carrier subset of the updated active set of carriers (308) and configuring (610, 615) the wireless terminal (304) to monitor a control signal over at least one carrier in the set of control carriers.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for ensuring reliable signaling in wireless communication. The method first determines if improved reliability is applicable for signaling for a data frame. The determination may be performed based on a data rate of the data frame. If it is determined that improved reliability is applicable, then signaling is sent with improved reliability, for example by replicating the signaling and sending multiple copies of the signaling. If it is determined that improved reliability is not applicable, then the signaling is sent without improved reliability.
摘要:
Multiple downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) carriers can enhance wireless communication between nodes and user equipment (UE). Among the carriers, it is beneficial to have some special, by configuration designated carriers to provide synchronization, system information, paging, data and control for multi-carrier enabled UEs. 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 UEs for access, synchronization, broadcast, and new control region within the data region 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.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described for receiving broadcast information in a wireless communication system. According to various aspects, a broadcast channel is split into at least two portions, wherein one portion allows for reception of static system parameter data at a first data rate, and a second portion allows for reception of semi-static and dynamic parameter data at a second disparate data rate.
