    Abstract: An origination device (e.g., a base station) dual encodes a first set of data (1) according to a first set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a first communication link, and (2) according to a second set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a second communication link. The dual-encoded first set of data is transmitted to a signal forwarding device. The signal forwarding device decodes the dual-encoded first set of data, using decoding parameters that correspond to the second set of encoding parameters, to generate a single-encoded first set of data that is encoded according to the first set of encoding parameters. The signal forwarding device transmits a “single-encoded forwarded signal” to the destination device. The destination device decodes the single-encoded forwarded signal using decoding parameters that correspond to the first set of encoding parameters, which yields the first set of data.

    Abstract: An origination device (e.g., a base station) combines and encodes first user data and second user data, having similar QoS requirements, to generate a multiuser packet. In some cases, the origination device dual-encodes the multiuser packet. The multiuser packet is transmitted to one or more signal forwarding devices that each serve at least one of the users associated with the data contained in the multiuser packet. The signal forwarding device decodes the multiuser packet to obtain the first and second user data. The signal forwarding device transmits at least one portion of the multiuser packet, as single-encoded signals, to one or more appropriate destination devices (e.g., UE devices).

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device is scheduled to transmit an uplink data transmission to its serving base station. The uplink data transmission includes a special subframe that has a different subframe structure than a subframe structure used by at least one other UE device being served by the serving base station. For example, the special subframe includes a blanked portion of the first symbol of the special subframe and a higher Reference Signal symbol density when compared to the subframe structure used by other UE devices. A target base station receives and decodes the uplink data transmission, utilizing the features of the special subframe to acquire and estimate the uplink channel between the UE device and the target base station. After decoding the uplink data transmission, the UE device is handed over from the serving base station to the target base station.

    Abstract: A signal forwarding device receives a dual-encoded first set of data that is encoded according to first and second sets of encoding parameters. The signal forwarding device decodes the dual-encoded first set of data, using decoding parameters that correspond to the second set of encoding parameters, to generate a single-encoded first set of data that is encoded according to the first set of encoding parameters. The signal forwarding device transmits the single-encoded first set of data to the destination device, which decodes the single-encoded first set of data using decoding parameters that correspond to the first set of encoding parameters. If the decoding is unsuccessful, the destination device requests retransmission. The signal forwarding device decodes a stored copy of the single encoded first set of data, using decoding parameters that correspond to the first set of encoding parameters, and retransmits the first set of data to the destination device.
