摘要:
User equipment for wireless communication with at least one base station includes a transceiver operable to communicate with the at least one base station by transmitting radio frequency signals to the at least one base station and by receiving radio frequency signals from the at least one base station. The transceiver is configured to receive a discovery signal from a base station of the at least one base station, the discovery signal comprising a discovery signal identifier. The transceiver is also configured to receive a synchronization signal or reference signal, the synchronization signal or the reference signal comprising a physical cell identifier. The user equipment also includes processing circuitry configured to determine whether the discovery cell identifier matches the physical cell identifier. The processing circuitry is also configured to, responsive to the discovery cell identifier matching the physical cell identifier, identifying that the base station is active or in coverage
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a base station to transmit and for a User Equipment (UE) to receive repetitions of an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH). Time and frequency resources for EPDCCH repetitions are defined together with restrictions in time resources to provide UE power savings. Time and frequency resources are also defined for repetitions of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission and for repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. Methods and apparatus are also provided for the UE to transmit and for the base station to receive acknowledgement information in repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUCCH).
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a base station to transmit and for a UE to detect broadcast information when the UE operates in a Coverage Enhancement (CE) mode. The base station transmits repetitions of signaling conveying broadcast information in one or more subframes of each frame in a quadruple of frames. The transmission is intermittent in time. To detect the broadcast information, the UE blindly combines and decodes the repetitions of signaling assuming their existence. The base station informs the pattern for the intermittent transmissions of the signaling to UEs connected to the base station or to other base stations.

Methods and apparatus are provided for a User Equipment (UE) and a base station in communication with each other to determine parameters for a Random Access (RA) process. The base station informs the UE through a System Information Block (SIB) of a number of resource sets for RA preamble transmission by the UE. Each resource set is associated with a number of repetitions for a RA preamble transmission, with a maximum number of RA preamble transmissions, and with a number of repetitions the base station transmits a response to a RA preamble reception. The SIB also informs an association between a range of path-loss values and a number of RA preamble repetitions. The UE determines a number of repetitions for a first RA preamble transmission from its path-loss measurement.
摘要:
Provided are methods and apparatuses for a user equipment to decode over a first set of resources a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) of a first type and to decode over a second set of resources a PDCCH of a second type in a same transmission time interval, to perform a first search process for candidate PDCCHs of the first type over a first set of resources and to perform a second search process for candidate PDCCHs of the second type over a second set of resources, and to determine whether to include for data reception resources that are separately indicated for potential transmission of PDCCHs of the first or of the second type.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a User Equipment (UE) to transmit a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). Afirst Downlink Control Information (DCI) format with an aperiodic SRS request field indicating aperiodicSRS transmission with first values for aperiodic SRS transmission parameters, is received. A second DCI format with an aperiodic SRS request field indicating aperiodic SRS transmission with second values for the aperiodic SRS transmission parameters, is received. The first values for the aperiodic SRS transmission parameters are compared with the second values for the aperiodic SRS transmission parameters. An aperiodic SRS is transmitted when the first values are identical to the second values. Transmission of the aperiodic SRS is suspended when the first values are not identical to the second values.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for allocating code resources to ACK/NACK channel indexes, when UEs need ACK/NACK transmission in a wireless communication system in which a predetermined number of orthogonal cover Walsh codes is selected from among available orthogonal cover Walsh codes, at least one subset is formed, having the selected orthogonal cover Walsh codes arranged in an ascending order of cross interference, subsets are selected for use in first and second slots of a subframe, and the orthogonal cover Walsh codes of the subset selected for each slot and ZC sequence cyclic shift values are allocated to the ACK/NACK channel indexes.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving pilot symbols for demodulation of control channel information in the uplink of a wireless communication system are provided. When an Evolved Node B (ENB) expects to receive both the Channel Quality Information (CQI) and the Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative ACK (NACK) from a User Equipment (UE) in a certain subframe, if the UE transmits only the CQI channel, the ENB is prevented to detect the nonexistent ACK/NACK information from the CQI channel, thereby avoiding false alarm.
