    摘要: According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus provide a reduced search space for blindly decoding a message included in a signal received at a communication receiver, where the message has an unknown format. Improving blind detection efficiency in this manner offers numerous advantages, including but not limited to lower power consumption through reduced processing overhead, and lower power consumption through expanded sleep opportunities. As a non-limiting example, the communication receiver comprises a mobile station configured for operation according to Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards, as promulgated by the 3GPP for E-UTRA systems, where the mobile station is configured to reduce a search space of DCI message decoding by determining message format likelihoods and blindly decoding a received DCI message based on the message format likelihoods.

    摘要: Decoding a received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal that occupies a first set of subcarriers in a radio frequency spectrum includes ascertaining an interference model that represents interference occurring in the first set of subcarriers caused by a transmitted OFDM signal that occupies a second set of subcarriers in the radio frequency spectrum. A set of scaled soft values is produced that represents information conveyed by the received OFDM signal over the first set of subcarriers, wherein each scaled soft value in the set of scaled soft values corresponds to a respective one of the subcarriers in the first set of subcarriers, and wherein a scaling amount applied to each of the scaled soft values is based on a corresponding level of interference in said respective one of the subcarriers as indicated by the interference model. A decoding process is performed that generates detected data from the scaled soft values.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for estimating inter-cell interference levels for resource elements of a received Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal. In an exemplary method in a wireless receiver, a reference symbol interference levels is measured for each of a plurality of reference symbols in a received OFDM signal, and interference scaling factors are mapped to each of a plurality of resource elements of the received OFDM signal. Each interference scaling factor reflects the probability that the corresponding resource element or group of resource elements is subject to interference from an interfering OFDM signal. Interference levels for each of the resource elements are then estimated as a function of the measured reference symbol interference levels and the interference scaling factors.

    摘要: A method for detecting an Almost-Blank Subframe (ABS) configuration for an interfering macro cell of a heterogeneous network is implemented in a wireless terminal. For one or more resource blocks in a received signal, a first power metric is calculated as a function of channel response estimates determined for predicted cell-specific (or common) reference signal (CRS) resource element locations in a plurality of symbols. For the one or more resource blocks in the received signal, a second power metric is calculated as a function of channel response estimates determined for the predicted CRS resource element locations in a single one of the plurality of symbols. A difference between the first and second power metrics is compared to a threshold, and responsive to the comparison a determination is made as to whether the macro cell is operating in a Multicast and Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) mode or a non-MBSFN mode.

    摘要: Mechanism to receive control signals transmitted from a base station (210, 510, 910) to the user equipment (220, 520, 920) in a manner that minimizes power consumption on the user equipment (220, 520, 920) while still maintaining some acceptable level of performance is described. The user equipment (220, 520, 920) periodically measures the signal quality of component carriers used by the base station (210, 510, 910) and requests control signaling (anchor) carrier reselection. Either a single component carrier can be chosen if the single carrier has sufficient quality or multiple component carriers can be selected when the quality of the single quality is low. The anchor carrier reselection may also be triggered to manage the system as a whole. For fast moving user equipments (220, 520, 920), anchor carrier hopping pattern can be provided to increase robustness and reduce reselection signaling overhead.

    摘要: A terminal with transmitter and receiver operates in a multi-carrier communication system and receives at least two downlink carriers. One or more timing advance commands are received, each associated with a group of one or more uplink carriers, each group being associated with one or more of the received downlink carriers. For each downlink carrier associated with one of the groups of uplink carriers, one is selected as a reference downlink carrier; the reference downlink carrier timing is ascertained; and a transmission time period is ascertained based on the timing of the downlink reference carrier and an offset specified by the timing advance command associated with the group of uplink carriers. The transmission time period comprises a start time and a stop time. Transmission is initiated at an earliest transmission start time of the ascertained transmission time periods and is ceased at a latest ascertained stop time.
