Abstract:
A communications apparatus is provided. A controller module generates a suggested sub-frame pattern describing suggested arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and schedules control signal and/or data transmissions according to the suggested sub-frame pattern. A transceiver module transmits at least a first signal carrying information regarding the suggested sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus. The peer communications apparatus does not schedule data transmissions in the almost blank sub-frame(s).
Abstract:
A communications apparatus is provided. In one implementation, the apparatus includes a processor, coupled to a transceiver. The transceiver receives one or more configuration messages carrying information regarding to a first sub-frame subset, a second sub-frame subset and a plurality of reporting parameters from a peer communications apparatus. The processor further includes a first processor logic unit, for obtaining the information regarding at least the first sub-frame subset, the second sub-frame subset and the reporting parameters configured by the peer communications apparatus, a second processor logic unit, for determining at least one reporting instance according to the reporting parameters for reporting a measurement result linked to the first sub-frame subset; and a third processor logic unit, for determining a measuring instance for measuring the power of a desired signal corresponding to the first sub-frame subset based on the reporting instance.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method for a user equipment (UE) includes obtaining, by the UE, a first search space configuration provided by a base station through remaining minimum system information (RMSI) or a handover (HO) command; and monitoring and receiving, by the UE, physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) in a random access channel (RACH) procedure according to the first search space configuration.
Abstract:
The embodiments of this invention propose methods of physical resource allocation for UL control channels including PUCCH and PRACH in adaptive TDD systems. In an adaptive TDD system, there are multiple types of UL-DL configuration, e.g. System configuration, UL-reference configuration (same to System configuration), DL-reference configuration (different from System configuration) and actual configuration. If legacy UE and eIMTA UE respectively follow System configuration and DL-reference configuration to feedback DL HARQ-ACK and corresponding PUCCH resources are implicitly determined by CCE index, PUCCH resource collision may happen, i.e. multiple PUCCHs are transmitted in single resource. The problem of PUCCH resource collision will cause PUCCH performance degeneration and needs to be resolved. Some solutions are proposed in the invention to resolve this problem.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method, base station, and user equipment (UE) for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in random access channel (RACH) procedure are provided. The UE may include a processor. The processor may obtains a first control resource set (CORESET) configuration for physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) in the RACH procedure and obtaining a first search space configuration for the PDCCHs in the RACH procedure from a base station to monitor and receive the PDCCHs in the RACH procedure.
Abstract:
A method for coordinating transmissions between different communications apparatuses in a communications system. The method obtains a sub-frame indicator carried in a first control signal transmitted in a control region of a first sub-frame received from an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the sub-frame indicator indicates resource allocation of one or more sub-frame following the first sub-frame. The method then determines whether a second sub-frame following the first sub-frame and received from the eNB is an almost blank sub-frame according to the sub-frame indicator. When the second sub-frame is not the almost blank sub-frame, obtaining information regarding a start position of a data region of the second sub-frame from a second control signal transmitted in a control region of the second sub-frame.
