    摘要: Methods and apparatus for providing cross-cell signaling and/or coordination for interference mitigation in wireless communication networks are described. In one aspect, a UE associated with a serving eNB may receive control signaling from another non-serving eNB in a different cell. The control signaling may be consistent with a characteristic of the serving eNB and associated cell. In another aspect, multiple eNBs may coordinate transmission of DL resources to minimize collisions of control signaling resources.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure are related to identifying whether an apparatus (e.g., base station, access point, etc.) is transmitting using a CRS based transmission scheme or a UE-RS based transmission scheme. Such detection may be necessary for PDSCH interference cancellation (IC) of a neighboring cell since a UE may not know which transmission scheme is used by the neighboring cell. For instance, the UE may know the transmission scheme of the serving cell, but the UE may not know the transmission scheme of a neighboring non-serving cell. As such, aspects of the disclosure provide for a blind detection algorithm to identify or determine a transmission mode or transmission scheme of a neighboring cell to then apply interference cancellation (IC) to an interfering signal received from the neighboring cell.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for maintaining a time tracking loop (TTL) to increase an overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a signal. The signal includes a series of consecutive symbols, received via multiple signal paths with different delays in a subframe. When attempting to decode the signal, only part of a symbol for a signal path may be captured in a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window due to the multiple signal path delays, leading to inter-channel interference (ICI), inter-symbol interference (ISI), and/or power loss. The SNR may be increased by optimizing a FFT window position when decoding the signal. An optimal FFT window position may be based on a subframe type. Moreover, the SNR may be increased by performing a linear operation on samples of the symbol prior to performing the FFT.

    摘要: A frontend receiver of a user equipment (UE) is configured with multiple transform operations assigned to separate sets of cells. One set of cells includes the serving cell of the UE and at least one additional cell within a first offset range of the serving cell. Another set or sets of cells include additional interferer cells within another offset range of the serving cell. After tracking the common frequency/timing offsets of each set of cells the assigned transform operation for that set transforms the time domain samples into frequency domain symbols. The individual frequency/timing offsets for each cell within the set are then tracked.

    摘要: A method for communicating in an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) network using common reference signal (CRS) resources associated with different interference levels due to resource partitioning is disclosed. Signals are received from an eNodeB indicating a subset of CRS resources for radio link monitoring (RLM) and/or reference signal received power (RSRP) measuring. The subset of CRS resources includes the CRS resources expected to have lower interference from the interfering eNodeBs. RLM and/or RSRP measurements are performed based on the indicated subset.
