摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for operating in a first RAN at a working frequency, determining a priority of measurement tasks enabled by the first RAN, and dynamically scheduling the tasks according to the priority. For certain aspects, the first RAN may be a TD-SCDMA network. The measurement tasks are intended to measure at least one parameter of a serving cell in the first RAN on a primary frequency, at least one cell in the first RAN on at least one frequency other than the primary frequency, one or more cells in at least one RAN other than the first RAN (e.g., a GSM network) or any combination thereof. This dynamic assignment allows the UE to make scheduling decisions on which frequencies and RANs to measure, as well as how often these frequencies and RANs are measured, thereby providing for more efficient use of idle slots over conventional haphazard scheduling.

For range expansion, a determination to enter range expansion may be made based on a signal strength differential for user equipment (UE) communications between a first class of base stations and a second class of base stations. If the signal strength differential is beyond a certain threshold, range expansion may be implemented. In range expansion, a signal is transmitted, on a resource coordinated with at least one of the first class of base stations, from one of the second class of base stations to the UE which could experience dominant interference from one of the first class of base stations if coordination were not performed. Transmission power may be reduced from one of the first class of base stations on that resource. The second signal may be transmitted within the region of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for facilitating indicating and detecting control region sizes. A multi-carrier communication between a wireless terminal and a base station is facilitated by a first carrier having a first control region size and a second carrier having a second control region size. Embodiments are disclosed in which control region sizes are ascertained from a control signal, wherein the control is generated by either scrambling an aspect of the control signal based on the second control region size, or relating the second control region size with the first control region size. Other disclosed embodiments for ascertaining control region sizes include a reverse interleaver embodiment, wherein a set of modulation symbols is mapped beginning from a last data symbol and ending with a first available data symbol.

Techniques for cross-subframe and cross-carrier scheduling of uplink and downlink transmissions in a multi-carrier wireless communication system are disclosed. A base station can include cross-subframe, carrier indication (xSF/CIF) information in a PDCCH message to signal to a user equipment (UE) which subframes and/or component carriers pertain to control information carried therein. The UE may utilize the xSF/CIF information to determine to which subframes and/or component carriers the control information is to be applied.

An apparatus and method for designing a relay backhaul channel in a wireless communication system are provided. At least one relay node utilized for communication with respective user devices and at least one relay backhaul channel for conducting in-band half-duplex communication with the at least one relay node are identified. The relay backhaul channel may be an FDM channel, a TDM/FDM channel, or a joint R-PDCCH/R-PDSCH channel. The relay channel is used for communicating with the at least one relay node. The supportable ranks of the R-PDSCH channel may depend on the number of resources reserved for demodulation reference signals in the R-PDCCH region.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate indicating a loss of channel quality on a component carrier of a plurality of component carriers. A UE can monitor configured component carriers to determine channel qualities associated therewith. The UE can transmit carrier quality information that includes the channel qualities of the plurality of component carriers. In addition, the UE can identify a component carrier experiencing a loss of channel quality and notify a base station of the component carrier with poor channel conditions. In one aspect, the UE can incorporate additional information into a scheduling request. In addition, the UE can generate a CQI report that contains the carrier quality information. Further, the base station, when a loss of channel quality occurs, can retry transmission on different carriers. Moreover, the base station can employ information provided by the UE when selecting a component carrier for a transmission.
摘要:
Techniques for performing association and resource partitioning in a wireless network with relays are described. In an aspect, resource partitioning may be performed to allocate available resources to nodes and access/backhaul links of relays. In one design, a node computes local metrics for a plurality of possible actions related to resource partitioning. The node receives local metrics for the possible actions from at least one neighbor node and determines overall metrics for the possible actions based on the computed and received local metrics. The node determines resources allocated to a set of nodes and resources allocated to the access and backhaul links of at least one relay based on the overall metrics for the possible actions. In another aspect, association involving relays may be performed by taking into account the performance of the relays. In yet another aspect, association and resource partitioning may be performed jointly.
