A system and method for identifying the accessibility of femto base stations in a communication system. The system and method includes a plurality of macro base stations, open-access femto base stations and femto base stations with different subscriber groups. At least one of the base stations includes a transmitter configured to apply a base station identifier, such as a closed subscription group identifier, as a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) mask to XOR (exclusive OR) the CRC of a broadcast channel communication or an input to generate a scrambling sequence to the broadcast channel communication.
摘要:
A method of controlling downlink transmissions to a subscriber station capable of communicating with a base station of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a first pilot signal from a first base station antenna; receiving a second pilot signal from a second base station antenna; and estimating the channel between the base station and subscriber station based on the received first and second pilot signals. The method also comprises determining a set of OFDM symbol processing parameters based on the step of estimating the channel and transmitting the OFDM symbol processing parameters to the base station. The base station uses the OFDM symbol processing parameters to control the relative gains and the relative delays of OFDM symbols transmitted from the first and second antennas.

A mapping scheme between a plurality of control channel element sets and a plurality of acknowledgement channel resource sets is established. Each of the control channel element sets includes at least one control channel element, and each of the acknowledgement channel resource sets includes at least one acknowledgement channel resource. In accordance with a scheduling grant transmitted using a control channel element set selected from the plurality of control channel element sets, a data packet is transmitted via a second node to a first node. Then, an acknowledgement channel message is transmitted via the first node to the second node by using at least one acknowledgement channel resource selected from the acknowledgement channel resource set that correspond to the control channel element set used for transmitting the scheduling grant in accordance with the mapping scheme. The acknowledgement channel message may be one of a positive acknowledgement message and a negative acknowledgement message.
摘要:
A base station for use in a wireless network, wherein the base station transmits in a downlink to a plurality of subscriber stations using a plurality of antennas according to a multiple input, multiple-output (MIMO) protocol. During a first downlink subframe, the base station operates in single-user MIMO mode in which the base station transmits a first data subpacket to a first subscriber station using a first antenna and transmits a second data subpacket to the first subscriber station using a second antenna. During a second downlink subframe following the first downlink subframe, the base station operates in multi-user MIMO mode in which the base station transmits a third data subpacket to the first subscriber station using the first antenna and transmits a fourth data subpacket to a second subscriber station using the second antenna.
摘要:
A method for transmission, by dividing a transmission resource in a time domain subframe into a plurality of equal duration resource elements in a time and frequency domain, segregating the plurality of resource elements into a plurality of resource regions, modulating information to be transmitted to generate a sequence of modulation symbols at a transmitter, mapping the sequence of modulation symbols into the plurality of resource elements in the plurality of resource regions, and transmitting the modulation symbols via a plurality of antennas using the respective corresponding resource elements to a receiver. The mapping of the modulation symbols in at least one resource region is independent of a certain control channel information that is carried in said time domain subframe, and the mapping of the modulation symbols in at least another resource region is dependent upon said certain control channel information that is carried in said subframe. The information to be transmitted may be encoded to generate a plurality of code blocks, with roughly equal number of resource elements assigned to each of the plurality of code blocks in at least one resource region. Alternatively, the time domain subframe may contain only one resource region.

A device and method for device association, interference mitigation and channel selection for use in a visible light communication (VLC) network. The method includes transmitting on every one of a plurality of supported color channels of a first device to estimate an ambient interference on each supported color channel. The method also includes receiving a transmission on at least some of the supported color channels, where the number of receiving color channels is less than or equal to the number of supported color channels of the transmitter. The method further includes calculating a channel quality index for each of the receiving color channels. The method still further includes selecting at least one of the receiving color channels of the first device to be used as a communication channel. The method also includes reporting the at least one communication channel to a second device in the VLC network. In certain embodiments, the method includes establishing guard color channels for each of the supported color channels.
