Abstract:
Systems, base stations, terminals, and methods for group-selective channel feedback in a wireless communication system are described. In one signal measurement method for a base station supporting Multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO), the base station allocates a group identifier to a terminal group for performing and reporting signal measurements simultaneously. When the base station transmits control information including the group identifier, each one of terminals belonging to the terminal group performs signal measurement, generates signal measurement feedback, and simultaneously transmits the signal measurement feedback to the base station.
Abstract:
In legacy systems such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) releases 8 to 10, the control channel is transmitted using the first few Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a subframe. The limited control channel capacity will impact the system performance in future releases as more and more User Equipments (UEs) will be scheduled in a subframe with technologies such as MulitUser-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission being enhanced or introduced. A new Enhanced Control CHannel (E-CCH) is necessary to be designed, which will use the resource in the Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) in the legacy systems. The E-CCH will support UE-specific DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) based transmission and receiving. However, the configuration of DMRS for E-CCH is necessary to be known to UE in prior. This invention discloses multiple methods in which DMRS is configured for E-CCHs and respective eNB and UE behaviors.

Abstract:
An Interference Measurement Resource (IMR) allocation method and apparatus for allocating resources for efficient interference measurement in a downlink in a system supporting a New Carrier Type (NCT) is provided. The interference measurement configuration method of a base station transmitting subframes including, or not including, Cell-specific Reference Signals (CRS) in a wireless communication system includes determining whether a terminal supports a New Carrier Type (NCT) subframe, allocating, when the terminal supports the NCT subframe, Interference Measurement Resources (IMR) to the terminal at Resource Elements (REs) where other signals are not mapped in the subframe, transmitting information on the allocated IMR to the terminal, and transmitting the subframe including the allocated IMR to the terminal.
