Abstract:
Notifying served user equipments (UEs) of the presence or absence of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) symbols transmitted by neighboring base stations in the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) region of a subframe can be achieved through various of signaling techniques. The served UE may be notified by communicating a one or multi-bit indicator in a physical layer signaling channel of the serving cell, such as the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the subframe. Alternatively, the served UE may be notified through higher layer signaling.
Abstract:
A system and method for feeding back channel information are provided. A method for communications device operations includes generating feedback information, encoding the feedback information to produce a feedback payload, and transmitting the feedback payload to a communications server serving a communications device. The feedback information includes at least a first long term wideband channel statistics and a second long term wideband channel statistics.

Abstract:
A method for operating a communications controller includes defining a positive integer quantity of resource element groups from a resource block with a positive integer number N resource elements in each resource element group, the resource block having a total number of resource elements, the total number of resource elements consisting of available resource elements and reserved resource elements. The method also includes assigning a plurality of available resource elements to fill in each of the positive integer quantity of resource element groups with N available resource elements in each resource element group, and blocking any unassigned available resource elements from being used in a resource element group. The method further includes interleaving a plurality of control messages onto the positive integer quantity of resource element groups, and transmitting the positive integer quantity of resource element groups.

Abstract:
A method embodiment includes configuring, by a network device, a multiple point communication measurement reporting scheme. The multiple point communication measurement reporting scheme includes a multiple point communication measurement set, a List A, a List B, and measurement report triggering events. The measurement report triggering events includes a first event wherein a measurement result of an element in List A becomes better than a threshold, a second event wherein a measurement result of an element in List A becomes better than a measurement result of an element in List B by at least an offset, a third event wherein a measurement result of an element in List B becomes worse than a threshold, and/or a fourth event wherein a measurement result of an element in List B becomes worse than a measurement result of an element in List A by at least an offset.

Abstract:
A system and method for channel state information feedback in wireless communications systems are provided. A method for reporting channel information includes determining, at a user equipment, a channel information type for first channel information to be reported to a communications controller, determining the first channel information conditioned on previously reported channel information and on the channel information type, and reporting the first channel information, the channel information type, or a combination thereof, to the communications controller.
