摘要:
Discontinuous reception (DRX) operations for wireless communications implementing carrier aggregation are disclosed. Physical downlink control channel implementation for carrier aggregation is also disclosed. DRX methods are disclosed including a common DRX protocol that may be applied across all component carriers, an individual/independent DRX protocol that is applied on each component carrier, and hybrid approaches that are applied across affected component carriers. Methods for addressing the effects of loss of synchronization on DRX, impact of scheduling request on DRX, uplink power control during DRX, and DRX operation in measurement gaps are disclosed.

Techniques for component carrier-specific reconfiguration are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is capable of transmitting or receiving via multiple component carriers. The WTRU may perform component carrier reconfiguration on a component carrier basis to add, remove or replace a component carrier. Discontinuous reception (DRX) and/or discontinuous transmission (DTX) may be performed on at least one component carrier, wherein DRX and/or DTX patterns on the component carriers may not overlap each other. A random access procedure may be performed at the target cell on one component carrier while other component carriers are inactive. The component carrier-specific reconfiguration or handover of a component carrier or a channel may be implemented in coordinated multiple point transmission (CoMP), wherein a handover of a control channel, not a traffic channel, may be performed. Alternatively, a handover of a traffic channel may be performed.

Methods of mapping, indicating, encoding and transmitting uplink (UL) grants and downlink (DL) assignments for wireless communications for carrier aggregation are disclosed. Methods to encode and transmit DL assignments and UL grants and map and indicate the DL assignments to DL component carriers and UL grants to UL component carriers are described. Methods include specifying the mapping rules for DL component carriers that transmit DL assignment and DL component carriers that receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and mapping rules for DL component carriers that transmit UL grants and UL component carriers that transit physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) when using separate coding/separate transmission schemes.

摘要:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives a downlink subframe having multiple component carriers, each component carrier having control information encoded in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The WTRU performs a blind decoding of control information in a first PDCCH located within a first component carrier to obtain a location of a second PDCCH located within a second component carrier, where the location of the second PDCCH is relative to a location of the first PDCCH as control channel element offset. The WTRU decodes the second PDCCH at the obtained location.
摘要:
Techniques for configuring and switching a resource assignment mode for a plurality of component carriers are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) has a capability of supporting multiple resource assignment modes such that a resource assignment mode is configured for a plurality of component carriers that are allocated for the WTRU, and the WTRU attempts to decode a control channel based on the configured resource assignment mode. The resource assignment mode may be configured for the WTRU via higher layer signaling. The resource assignment mode may be specific to the WTRU, or specific to a component carrier or a group of component carriers. The resource assignment mode may be configured separately for a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier. The resource assignment mode includes a separate assignment mode with component carrier indication, a separate assignment mode without component carrier indication, or a joint assignment mode.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in carrier aggregated spectrums are disclosed. UCI may include, but is not limited to, Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Rank Indication (RI), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Acknowledge/Not Acknowledge (ACK/NACK) and Scheduling Request (SR). For symmetric carrier aggregation, uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) component carriers may be paired and use physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in each UL component carrier to send UCI for the corresponding DL component carrier. For asymmetric carrier aggregation, methods are provided for UCI transmission and resource allocation depending on component carrier configuration or assignment. Methods are provided for multiple and single component carrier configurations that may further provide backward compatibility.
