Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating between access points using the same air interface as for serving wireless devices. Access points can communicate with one another over the air interface to exchange interference management messages related to negotiating and/or allocating resources among the access points or other messages. In addition, access points can prepare served wireless devices for time periods where the access points communicate with disparate access points over the air interface to mitigate confusion or radio link failure detection by the served wireless devices.

Techniques for centralized control of relay operation are described. In an aspect, a designated network entity (e.g., a base station or a network controller) may control the operation of relay stations within its coverage area. The network entity may select certain user equipments (UEs) to be relay UEs that can serve as relay stations for other UEs, e.g., based on pathloss between the UEs and a base station, the locations of the UEs, battery power levels of the UEs, fairness considerations, etc. The network entity may also select a specific relay UE to serve as a relay station for a client UE desiring to communicate with a base station, e.g., based on pilot measurements from relay UEs for the client UE. The network entity may also control transmission of discovery pilots by relay UEs and/or client UEs for relay detection.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate requesting blanking over control resources from one or more interfering eNBs or devices. An eNB, such as a macrocell, femtocell or picocell eNB, can transmit a downlink control blanking message to a UE directing the UE to perform blanking (e.g., for uplink control resources) or request the blanking from the interfering eNBs or devices (e.g., for downlink control resources). The downlink control blanking message can specify the desired control resources and/or information to determine the control resources. Thus, dynamic control blanking is provided such that blanking is requested to mitigate interference over control resources for the small scale eNB. The small scale eNB can subsequently communicate control data to the UE over the control resources; the control data can include a resource blanking message that similarly directs the UE to request blanking of general data resource from the interfering eNBs or devices.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting beacon symbols of a beacon message such that a sequence of symbols can satisfy a linear constraint over a field where the field elements can be identified with carriers. In this regard, a coding scheme can be applied to a beacon message; the coding scheme can produce a plurality of beacon symbols to transmit on given subcarriers. A receiving device of the beacon symbols can decode a beacon message by receiving less than the total number of symbols in a beacon message and determining the remaining symbol subcarriers based on the linear constraint. Thus, more efficient decoding of beacons is facilitated as well as resolving beacon ambiguity by figuring out which symbols satisfy linear constraints for the symbols, and resolving time and frequency shift by detecting an offset that would result in satisfaction of the linear constraint.

Techniques for transmitting and receiving data in a relay communication network are described. Stations in the relay network may be grouped into multiple depths. Packets may be transmitted in a pipelined manner, with stations at progressively higher depth sending transmissions of a packet in successive frames. In an aspect, a station may receive data with interference cancellation. The station may obtain a received signal containing transmissions of a first packet from stations at a first depth and transmissions of a second packet from stations at a second depth. The first and second stations may be downstream and upstream stations, respectively, or may be upstream stations at different depths. The station may estimate and cancel interference due to the transmissions of the first packet from the received signal to obtain an interference canceled signal. The station may then process the interference canceled signal for the second packet.

Systems and methods that designate a control attachment point(s) during transmission of data in a Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) system. The control attachment point is represented by an anchor cell to address control signaling and represent a User Equipment's (UE) interaction with the wireless communication system from a perspective of control (e.g., supplying/sending grants to the UE, transmitting/receiving ACKS on the downlink/uplink to the UE, control information (CQI), and the like.) The cells can further engage in backhaul transfer of information therebetween, and dynamic switching/change of anchor point based on criteria such as control loading, channel quality, and the like can further be implemented.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate creating antenna ports to correspond to two or more groups of user equipment (UEs). The subject innovation can organize two or more groups of user equipment and signal to each of the two or more groups a respective antenna port. The subject innovation can further communicate mapping information, a reference signal, or delay related to a linear combination in order to identify antenna ports. Based on such communicated information, the reference signal can be decoded in order to identify each antenna port.

摘要:
Techniques for performing cell detection with interference cancellation are described. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may detect for pilots from cells in a wireless network using interference cancellation. The UE may process a received signal to detect for pilots from one or more cells. The pilots may be common pilots transmitted with a reuse factor of one or low reuse pilots transmitted with a reuse factor greater than one. The UE may estimate the interference from a detected cell (e.g., the strongest detected cell) and may cancel the estimated interference from the received signal. The UE may then process the interference-canceled signal to detect for pilots from additional cells. The UE may be able to detect pilots from more cells, e.g., from weaker cells, by canceling the interference due to the pilots from the detected cells. This may be desirable for various applications such as positioning.
摘要:
Techniques for supporting communication in a dominant interference scenario are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a first base station and may observe high interference from and/or may cause high interference to a second base station. In one design, the first base station may use a first frequency band, which may overlap at least partially with a second frequency band for the second base station and may further extend beyond the second frequency band. The first base station may send at least one synchronization signal and a broadcast channel in a center portion of the first frequency band for use by UEs to detect the first base station. The second frequency band may be non-overlapping with the center portion of the first frequency band. The first base station may also communicate with at least one UE on the first frequency band.
