Abstract:
User Equipment (UE) and base station (eNB) apparatus and methodology for radio resource management reporting. The UE receives reference signals from at least one antenna port of an eNB via a plurality of receive antennas of the UE. The UE performs received signal measurement of at least a portion of the reference signals for a plurality of eNB antenna port and UE receive antenna combinational groupings to produce enhanced received signal quality (eRSQ) measurements that represent spatial characteristics of the reference signaling as received by the UE. The UE may send a report to the eNB based on the eRSQ measurements, with the report being indicative of spatial multiplexing layer availability of the UE to be served by the eNB.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for transmission point indication in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) system. A user equipment (UE) may receive common reference signal (CRS) parameters associated with individual base stations of a CoMP measurement set. The UE may also receive a transmission point index corresponding to a first base station of the CoMP measurement set that is scheduled for communications with the UE. A mapping module of the UE may produce a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) mapping pattern based on the CRS parameters associated with the scheduled base station.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for handling signal quality measurements by a wireless device in a wireless network environment, particularly in a coordinated transmission environment. An apparatus may include computer-readable media having instructions and one or more processors coupled with the media and configured to execute the instructions to generate a power parameter corresponding to a power adjustment associated with a reference signal, provide the reference signal generated based in part on the generated power parameter to a wireless device, and provide the power parameter to transmission points operating in the coordinated transmission environment. Each of the transmission points may be configured to communicate the power parameter to the wireless device, and the wireless device may be configured to determine, based at least in part on the power parameter, a power characteristics associated with a channel in which the reference signal is provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments for providing fast modulation and coding scheme adaptation for LTE regardless of transmission using single-user multiple-input and multiple-output (SU-MIMO) or multiple-user multiple-input and multiple-output are generally described herein. In some embodiments, channel state information reference signals are sent to user equipment by a node. First channel quality indication feedback based on the channel state information reference signals is received from the user equipment. Physical downlink shared channel data and demodulation reference signals are transmitted using a first modulation and coding scheme based on the first channel quality indication feedback. Second channel quality indication feedback based on measurements performed by the user equipment on the demodulation reference signals is received by a node. Physical downlink shared channel data is transmitted using a second modulation and coding scheme based on the second channel quality indication feedback.
