More particularly, techniques are provided herein for relay backhaul control channel assignment associated with hand in or hand out of mobile relays, access/backhaul resource partitioning for mobile relays, and management of quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a relay handover.
Abstract:
A system and method of managing adjustment of synchronization timing for handover of a mobile relay is disclosed. The method includes repositioning coverage of the mobile relay from a first network access point to a second network access point and adjusting a synchronization timing of the mobile relay in an asynchronous network of the wireless communication system.
Abstract:
Aspects are disclosed for operating a relay via an MBSFN-based backhaul link. Control resources are allocated, which include a first set of control resources and a second set of control resources. For some embodiments, a portion of the first set of control resources is concatenated with a portion of the second set of control resources to form a concatenation of resources whereas, in other embodiments, an indication scheme is implemented to provide an indication of a first or second allocation size respectively associated with the first and second set of control resources. At least one control signal is then transmitted which includes at least one of the concatenation or the indication. Other disclosed embodiments are directed towards configuring a user equipment to decode a control signal generated according to the aspects disclosed herein.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electrode structure for a drift tube in IMS comprising a ring electrode, for each of two surfaces of the ring electrode, at least a part adjacent to the inner radius is formed into a cone, and the angles formed between the cones and the axis of the ring electrode are different from each other. The electrode structure of the present invention can alleviate, even eliminate, the accumulation of space charges in the drift tube. Such structure is particularly suitable when the electric field in the drift tube is low in strength or a great number of ions pass through. Meanwhile, the structure allows a significant decrease in the size of the outer radius of the electrode, while the inner radius remains constant. In this way, it is possible to effectively reduce the outline size of the drift tube and thus make the IMS compact.
Abstract:
An array-based ion storage system and method are disclosed. The system comprises: an ion generation section; and an ion storage section comprising a first end electrode coupled to the ion generation section and formed as having a plurality of holes, a second end electrode formed as having a plurality of holes, an intermediate electrode formed as having a plurality of holes, a first insulator formed in the shape of a ring and sandwiched between the first end electrode and the intermediate electrode to insulate them from each other, and a second insulator formed in the shape of a ring and sandwiched between the intermediate electrode and the second end electrode to insulate them from each other. With the present invention, the ion storage section can be made thinner to facilitate consistency in ion extraction and reduce the spread of ion mobility spectrum peak. In addition, the first and second insulators each have a big hole, and thus the ions cannot bump onto the insulation material at both sides at the time of ion vibration or thermal movement in the storage space. Therefore, charge transfer and accumulation at the insulator and the subsequent discharge will not occur, suppressing instability of storage and loss of ions.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for network management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network management system comprises a receiver for receiving data from a plurality of entities, including base stations and/or subscriber handsets, a processor for generating a network map or a recommendation based on the received data, a display device for displaying the network map or recommendation, and a transmitter for transmitting instructions based on the recommendation.
Abstract:
Providing for distributed processing for a set of wireless communication devices to implement distributed, multi-antenna communication via one or more of the devices is described herein. By way of example, a relay link can be established between one or more wireless transceivers. The link can be utilized to distribute an indexing parameter to a remote transceiver. The indexing parameter can be employed to identify a set of index-specific instructions configured for a particular wireless node of a network. Based on the instructions and indexing parameter, such transceiver can locally compute and transmit, or receive and decode, a stream of traffic data for the multi-antenna communication. Thus, for instance, a P-P link between UTs can be employed to implement increased throughput and reduced interference benefits of multi-antenna communication for unplanned configurations of mobile devices.
Abstract:
Providing for fair resource sharing among wireless nodes in a wireless communication environment is described herein. By way of example, fairness can comprise establishing a set of resource sharing credits for wireless nodes. By expending credits, a node can borrow a resource of another node, to enable or enhance operation of the borrowing node. Credits for the borrowing node are decreased based on consumption of a shared resource, or credits for the lending node are increased based on such consumption, or both. Once an amount of credits expires, a node can be restricted from borrowing further resources until enough resources are lent to build up a suitable amount of credits. Accordingly, fairness can comprise correlating shared resource consumption with shared resource provisioning, to encourage participation in cooperative wireless communications.

Systems and methodologies are described that enable serving cell selection in a wireless network with a multiple antenna repeater operable to support MIMO communications. In one example, a repeater using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing on the downlink can be equipped to receive, by one or more receive antennas, one or more signals using one or more radio frequency (RF) isolation schemes. The repeater can further be equipped to amplify and delay the one or more signals using one or more combination schemes. Moreover, the repeater can be equipped to transmit, by one or more transmit antennas, the amplified and delayed one or more signals, wherein at least one of the one or more receive antennas or the one or more transmit antennas includes two or more antennas.
