Abstract:
An antenna port for an extended Physical Downlink Control CHannel (ePDCCH) transmission is determined based on at least an identifier for a leading extended Control Channel Element (eCCE) within the ePDCCH and an identifier for a user equipment (UE) to receive the ePDCCH transmission, and based on whether the ePDCCH transmission is localized or distributed. The determined antenna port is a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) port to which the UE is assigned. Symbols are mapped in sequence to resource elements (REs) and transmitted via the determined antenna port to the UE.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting Channel State Information Reference Symbol (CSI-RS) and data with partial muting of the CSI-RS are proposed. The method includes determining a CSI-RS pattern to be used among CSI-RS pattern candidates, determining a muting pattern for muting some resource elements constituting CSI-RS pattern candidates except for the determined CSI-RS pattern, mapping data symbols and CSI-RS to resource elements in a resource grid with rate patching in consideration of the CSI-RS pattern and muting pattern, and transmitting the data symbols and CSI-RS to a terminal.
Abstract:
A base station includes a transmit path circuitry to transmit an uplink grant in a DCI format to a subscriber station. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry to receive only UCI on a PUSCH from a subscriber station when the uplink grant includes a MCS of an enabled transport block (TB) with a value of 29, or a redundancy version of the PUSCH with a value of 1; a CSI request field with a non-zero value; and a total number of physical resource blocks allocated for the subscriber station, NPRB, with a value less than or equal to a threshold number of physical resource blocks, TPRB. TPRB is based at least partly upon one of a total number of CSI information bits to be transmitted on the PUSCH, Ntotal, and a number of DL CCs reported in a current CSI reporting, NCCs.
Abstract:
A telecommunications system is configured to perform a method for mapping synchronization signals. The method includes transmitting data, reference signals, synchronization signals and control elements to at least one of the plurality of subscriber stations. The method also includes configuring DMRS parameters to avoid a collision between the DMRS and at least one of the synchronization signals in a middle 6 resource blocks (RBs) of a system bandwidth.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting a symbol group in a mobile communication system. The method includes generating the symbol group to which an orthogonal sequence is applied; mapping the generated symbol group to an orthogonal frequency division multiple (OFDM) symbol and a multiple antenna array based on a symbol group index and a physical hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator channel (PHICH) group index; and transmitting the mapped symbol group. The generated symbol group is mapped to the OFDM symbol and the multiple antenna array in an alternating pattern in accordance with the symbol group index.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting control information in a base station for a wireless communication system. The method includes transmitting, to a terminal, information associated with a number of Control Channel Elements (CCEs) included in control channels, determining a set of control channel candidates based on an IDentifier (ID) of the terminal and the information associated with the number of CCEs; selecting at least one control channel candidate from among the set of control channel candidates; and transmitting the control information to the terminal through the selected at least one control channel candidate.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described for the transmission of Scheduling Assignments (SAs) from a base station to User Equipments (UEs) for data reception in the downlink or data transmission in the uplink of a communication system consisting of multiple Component Carriers (CCs). The SAs are separately coded and transmitted using elementary units (Control Channel Elements or CCEs). Locations of CCEs determine whether an SA is intended for a first CC or for a second CC. Further, the location of CCEs for an SA intended for a first CC is used to determine locations of CCEs for an SA intended for a second CC.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for forming Control Channel Elements (CCEs) from Resource Element Groups (REGs) that are located in one or more Physical Resource Block (PRB) pairs from a set of PRB pairs, for determining a first symbol in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and for determining whether the PDSCH includes all PRB pairs indicated by a respective PDCCH scheduling the PDSCH.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless network having two-dimensional antenna systems performs a method of codebook sampling. The method includes receiving from an eNodeB (eNB) an indication of a restricted subset M of vertical precoding matrices, wherein M is less than a total number of vertical precoding matrices N in a codebook, the codebook comprising a plurality of vertical precoding matrices and horizontal precoding matrices. The method also includes feeding back vertical precoding matrix indicators (V-PMI) to the eNB based on the restricted subset of vertical precoding matrices.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus report channel state information (CSI) feedback of a user equipment (UE) in a coordinated multipoint communication system. The method includes identifying, when downlink transmissions to the UE are configured with at least two CSI subframe subsets, an interference measurement resource within one of the CSI subframe subsets belonging to a CSI reference resource. The method also includes using the identified interference measurement resource to derive an interference measurement. The apparatus includes a controller configured to, when downlink transmissions to the UE are configured with at least two CSI subframe subsets, identify an interference measurement resource within one of the CSI subframe subsets belonging to a CSI reference resource. The controller is configured to use the identified interference measurement resource to derive an interference measurement.
