Abstract:
A resource allocation method, a network device and a wireless system are disclosed. The method includes: sorting Resource Blocks (RBs) used by a terminal of a first system and a terminal of a second system according to a use situation of the RBs used by the terminal of the first system and the terminal of the second system; and allocating the sorted RBs. When some RBs are available to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) terminal, coexistence of an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) terminal and the LTE terminal is enabled, and compatibility between the LTE-A terminal and the LTE terminal is ensured.
Abstract:
A system and method for assigning backhaul resources is provided. A method for wireless relay network communications includes determining performance information regarding a plurality of relay nodes, allocating resource blocks in a subframe to relay nodes based on the information, and notifying relay nodes of the allocated RBs using a signaling message.
Abstract:
A communication system and a method of communicating backhaul data. The communication system can include a controller. The controller can dynamically select from a plurality of backhaul sites at least a first backhaul site to establish a backhaul communication link with an access point. The controller also can generate a control signal that indicates to the access point to beam steer a backhaul signal to the first backhaul site. The access point can include a phased array that dynamically beam steers the backhaul signal in azimuth and elevation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for pilot signal transmission is disclosed herein. In particular, a pilot transmission scheme is utilized where pilot sub-carrier bandwidth differs from data sub-carrier bandwidth. Because some user's data sub-carriers will no longer have the user's pilot sub-carriers adjacent to them, the set, or pattern of sub-carriers used by the pilot blocks changes at least once in a burst. Changing the pilot block pattern (the set of occupied pilot block sub-carriers) at least once in the burst serves to increase the frequency proximity of occupied data sub-carriers to occupied pilot sub-carriers in the burst.
Abstract:
A pilot transmission scheme is presented where during a first OFDM symbol period a first pilot sequence is transmitted over a first multiple sub-carriers on a first group of antennas. During a second OFDM symbol period, a second pilot sequence is transmitted over a second multiple sub-carriers on a second group of antennas. The first and the second groups of antennas only transmit one pilot sequence every subframe of M OFDM symbol periods.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing H-ARQ transmission is described herein. Bits received on a first transmission are stored and combined with the bits received on later transmissions thereby increasing the likelihood of a correct decoding on later transmissions. Additionally, a plurality of coding schemes (e.g., Convolutional Codes, Block Turbo Codes, Convolutional Turbo Codes, Low Density Party Check Codes, . . . , etc.) are utilized, with an information element being reserved to signal what form of H-ARQ is being utilized.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting control information to a wireless node includes determining, by a communications controller, a first resource assignment parameter according to a pseudo-random sequence derived from an identifier, and mapping, by the communications controller, using the first resource assignment parameter, a demodulation reference signal associated with the wireless node onto a first resource located in a data region of a subframe. The method also includes mapping, by the communications controller, modulated control information associated with the wireless node onto a second resource located in the data region of the subframe, and transmitting, by the communications controller, the subframe to the wireless node.

Abstract:
A system and method for reducing interference are provided. A method for communications controller operations in a multi-carrier system includes generating information for a broadcast channel, preparing the information for transmission, selecting a location for an unoccupied subcarrier from a plurality of available locations, and placing the prepared information into a plurality of contiguous subcarriers, where the plurality of contiguous subcarriers includes the unoccupied subcarrier and a plurality of other subcarriers. The method also includes transmitting the plurality of contiguous subcarriers.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a system for operating a communications controller and a user equipment in a wireless communications system is provided. The communications controller is configured to allocate a first set of subframes to a group of UEs for a DMC link, allocate a second set of subframes to a particular UE in the group of UEs, transmit a first message including information about the first set of subframes to the group of UE, and transmit a second message including information about the second set of subframes to the particular UE. The second set of subframes is a subset of the first set of subframes, and information about the second set includes subframes in which the particular UE may transmit to other UEs in the group of UEs. Subframes in the first set not in the second set are allocated for reception by the particular UE.
