摘要:
A particular kind of component carrier that may be used as a secondary cell in an LTE system is a new type carrier that has reduced or eliminated legacy control signaling such as the omission of CRSs. Alternative techniques are described for performing timing and frequency synchronization in the downlink between an eNB and a UE when CRSs are not present in a component carrier. These techniques involve using either channel state information reference signals or UE-specific reference signals.

In accordance with some embodiments, in a time division duplex system, the transmission direction may be changed dynamically, for example in response to instantaneous traffic conditions. Particularly in some embodiments an eNodeB or base station may, in response to instantaneous traffic conditions, change the direction of transmission in certain subframes. In some embodiments this can be done in a way which is backwards compatible with prior generations of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio systems.
摘要:
Technology for synchronization of uplink transmission with multiple timing advances in a wireless communication environment is disclosed. Additional resource allocation messages for additional timing advances are addressed to a user equipment specific search space. A number of band decodes needed to find a resource allocation message used to access an additional timing advance can be reduced by padding the resource allocation message. A number of blind decodes used to find the resource allocation message can also be reduced by restricting the control channel candidates in which the resource avocation can be embedded in terms of the control channel element aggregation level, or levels, associated with acceptable control channel candidates.

Disclosed is a User Equipment device configured to select a suitable acknowledgement timing configuration in a time division duplex-frequency division duplex (TDD-FDD) carrier aggregation (CA) enabled wireless network, comprising establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a connection to a primary serving cell (PCell) and a secondary serving cell (SCell) of a base station, the PCell having a first TDD or first FDD configuration, the SCell having a second FDD or second TDD configuration, receiving, by the UE, downlink data through the PCell and SCell, categorizing a type of downlink data subframe in use by the SCell, selecting, by the UE, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing configuration based on the type of downlink data subframe for use by the SCell, and transmitting acknowledgement information associated with the downlink data according to the selected hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing configuration on PCell. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
Devices and methods of reducing blind decoding attempts of user equipment (UE) suing carrier aggregation are generally described. The UE may determine at least one subframe in a modification period to monitor for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) formed in accordance with a Discontinuous Transmission Downlink Control Information (DTX DCI) format. The DTX DCI format may indicate whether the serving cell is in a DTX or non-DTX state. The UE may determine the DTX state of each serving cell from the DTX DCI format and monitor an enhanced PDCCH of each serving cell in the non-DTX state to provide a scheduling assignment for the UE, without monitoring each serving cell in the DTX state. The UE may receive higher layer signaling that indicates a repetition period and subframe offset for DTX DCI format transmissions or a bitmap of the DTX DCI format transmissions for subframes within each modification period.

Technology for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource mapping corresponding to an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) is disclosed. One method can include a node mapping a PUCCH resource nPUCCH(1) corresponding to an ePDCCH for PUCCH resource hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback. The PUCCH resource nPUCCH(1) can be determined using a lowest PRB index including at least one enhanced control channel element (eCCE) of ePDCCH resources and a total number of eCCE in one physical resource block (PRB).

Disclosed in some examples is a method for providing a HARQ response in an LTE network for a PUCCH format 1b. The method includes receiving one or more downlink assignments of a bundling window over a wireless downlink control channel; setting a reception status for each sub-frame of a downlink data channel in the bundling window based on whether the sub-frame on the downlink data channel was associated with a particular one of the received downlink assignments and based upon whether the sub-frame was successfully received; setting a reception status of sub-frames of the downlink data channel in the bundling window that did not have a corresponding downlink assignment to a predetermined value; and transmitting a response, the response based upon the reception statuses set by the response module.
摘要:
Device-to-device (D2D) communications between user equipment (UE) allows two UEs in a long-term evolution (LTE) network to communicate directly with each other without the need to first send their communications to a network (such as via an evolved node B). In order to communicate in a D2D mode, the UEs first need to discover each other. One method of allowing the UEs to discover each other involves the use of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). After a network determines that certain UEs would benefit from D2D communication, the UEs can be set up to send and receive discovery signals using the PUCCH.
摘要:
A Second Synchronous Signal (SSS) for a 3GPP LTE downlink signal is generated in such a way that a legacy User Equipment (UE) can determine whether the downlink signal comprises a legacy downlink signal or a New Carrier Type (NCT) downlink signal, which is unavailable to a legacy UE. One exemplary embodiment provides that a first binary sequence and a second binary sequence are generated in which the first and second binary sequences are part of the SSS for the downlink signal. The first binary sequence is multiplied by a first scrambling sequence, and the second binary sequence by a second scrambling sequence in which the first and second scrambling sequences are selected to indicate that the downlink signal is a new carrier type downlink signal. Other exemplary embodiments provide that an order of the first and second scrambling sequences indicates whether the downlink signal is a NCT downlink signal.
