Abstract:
A method for uplink (UL) wireless backhaul communication at a wireless backhaul remote unit in a radio access network comprising receiving a configuration for radio frames and a transmission schedule through a downlink (DL) physical layer broadcast channel, wherein the transmission schedule comprises a transmission allocation for the remote unit, generating a UL data frame, wherein generating the UL data frame comprises performing forward error correction (FEC) encoding on a data bit stream to generate a plurality of FEC codewords, wherein performing the FEC encoding comprises performing Reed Solomon (RS) encoding on the data bit stream to generate a plurality of RS codewords, performing byte interleaving on the RS codewords, and performing Turbo encoding on the byte interleaved RS codewords to generate one or more Turbo codewords, wherein each Turbo codeword is encoded from more than one RS codeword, and transmitting the UL data frame according to the transmission allocation.
Abstract:
A transmission of information from a secondary to a primary node occurs in a plurality of N logical time durations. The transmission from the secondary to primary node in a wireless network is obtained using an orthogonal covering sequence and a second sequence. Embodiments of the present invention mitigate interference by calculating a first orthogonal covering (OC) index and a second OC Index from an indicator received from a serving base station (NodeB). A first index n1 is derived and a second index n2 is derived using the first index n1. A first orthogonal covering (OC) index and a first cyclic shift (CS) is determined using the derived index n1. A second OC and a second CS is derived using the derived index n2. A first slot of a subframe is generated using the OC indexed by the first OC index and the first CS and a second slot of the subframe is generated using the OC indexed by the second OC index and the second CS.
Abstract:
A method for allocating resources for a scheduling request indicator (SRI) is disclosed. An SRI cycle period for use by user equipment (UE) within a cell is transmitted from a NodeB in a cell to UE within the cell. The NodeB transmits a specific SRI subframe offset and an index value to the particular UE within the cell. The specific SRI subframe offset and the index value enable the UE to determine a unique combination of cyclic shift, RS orthogonal cover, data orthogonal cover, and resource block number for the UE to use as a unique physical resource for an SRI in the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
Abstract:
A detailed design of an LTE Link Adaptation function for LTE uplink is disclosed. A new approach for adapting SINR backoff in OLLA is used when serving non-time-sensitive radio bearers without target BLER constraint. A sub-optimal scheduler is also disclosed wherein the SINR measurements at the ILLA input are updated on each TTI for the UEs scheduled in that sub-frame for future UL transmission with a fresher interference measurement from the sub-frame preceding by 8 ms the actual transmission sub-frame. This allows for exploitation of a correlation peak of the interference resulting from HARQ retransmissions. A schedule incorporating these features improves upon, with a minor complexity increase, the spectral efficiency performance of a low-complexity baseline scheduler only based on SINR updates at SRS rate.
