摘要:
Aspects describe channel estimation in an OFDM system. Baseline DFT-based channel estimation can be performed and scaling can be applied to mitigate distortion in the DFT-based estimations. In some aspects, baseline DFT-based channel estimation can be performed and tones for which DFT-based estimate is deemed unreliable can have MMSE based processing applied locally. If orthogonal sequence is deemed excessive, orthogonal sequence cancellation can be applied prior to the MMSE based processing.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for signaling to expanded capability UEs that may limit the interruption of legacy UEs. According to certain aspects, a base station (e.g., an eNB) may generate and transmit one or more signals containing information that is recognizable by at least one expanded capability UE and identified as invalid by at least one legacy UE. An expanded capability UE may receive such signaling and identifying supplemental information in the signaling, while a legacy UE may regard the signaling as invalid.

Various aspects disclosed are directed to improvements to channel estimation through more efficient cancelation of neighboring common reference signals (CRS). Cancelation of CRS from other cells allows the user equipment (UE) a better opportunity for accurately detecting the reference signal of the current cell. Alternative aspects have a recursive element that uses previous estimates as the basis for the current channel estimate. The various aspects of the present disclosure generally have two alternative embodiments: (1) initializing the channel estimation for all cells with a previous channel estimate and cancellation of reference signals of non-target cells to accurately update channel estimate of the target cell; and (2) initializing the channel estimate for all cells with a previous channel estimate and cancelation of reference signals of all cells to accurately estimate residual channel estimate of the target cell and update its channel estimate.
摘要:
User equipment (UE) associated with synchronous networks operate in a synchronous mode while UEs associated with asynchronous networks operate in an asynchronous mode. When operating in a synchronous mode, a UE can significantly improve performance of synchronization signal detection, data decoding, and tracking loop management by using the interference cancellation (IC) techniques that are not available in an asynchronous mode of operation. Obtaining synchronization indicators and determining the synchronization status of the current network by UE is disclosed. The determination may be based on the synchronization indicator, whether detected through signal detection, signal measurements, signal analysis, or the like.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate controlling interference in a heterogeneous wireless communication environment. A Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) transmission from an interfering base station can be punctured based upon a puncturing pattern as a function of a cell identifier (ID) and a transmit time. Puncturing can be effectuated by applying power control. Thus, a punctured symbol or subframe can have a reduced transmit power or a transmit power set to zero. Further, the puncturing pattern can be defined on a subframe basis or on a symbol basis.
摘要:
Interference on pilot signals and on data tones can be mismatched. Different types of interference estimates perform differently based on how the mismatch occurs. The resulting interference estimate may thus be inaccurate. Interference estimates based on pilot signals and also on data tones can both be evaluated for reliability. The more reliable of the two can then be selected. If the data tones estimate is selected, the estimate can be calculated from covariance matrices or from traffic-to-pilot ratios.
摘要:
Channel estimation is performed in a wireless network through cell/antenna pair ranking and iterative soft cancellation of pilot signals. Cell classification and ordering may be ranked and grouped for purposes of improving performance by dedicating hardware resources to higher priority received signals. A metric may be computed to rank the pairs. One such metric is reference signal (RS) power. Pairs may also be grouped into groups of pairs. Groups may be ordered by time-frequency resource and designated as serving-cell groups or non-serving cell groups. Higher priority pairs may be assigned a higher number of iterations. Higher priority groups may be processed first. Pairs which fall below a certain power threshold may be assigned no iterations. Iterations are distributed among hardware blocks to improve processing efficiency. Iteration numbers and hardware assignments may be modified to reach a desired complexity constraint.
摘要:
When enabled with common reference signal interference cancellation, a user equipment (UE) may still compute a channel state feedback value with consideration of any canceled interfering neighboring signals. When the neighboring cells are determined to be transmitting data during the time for which the channel state feedback value is being computed, the UE is able to derive the channel state feedback value considering those canceled interfering signals. The UE determines whether each neighboring cell is transmitting during the designated time either by obtaining signals that indicate the transmission schedule of the neighboring cells or by detecting the transmission schedule, such as based on the power class of the neighboring cells. If the UE determines that the neighboring cells are transmitting data during this time period, the UE will compute the channel state feedback value including consideration of the canceled interfering signals.
摘要:
Communications by base stations in wireless communication networks may be coordinated in a manner to improve performance by mobile devices experiencing interference from non-serving base stations. In particular, base station communications may be coordinated to improve the performance of interference cancellation by mobile devices. If a user equipment (UE) experiencing interference is capable of interference cancellation, then the base stations may coordinate to increase interference to that user equipment so as to improve that UE's ability to perform interference cancellation. Base stations may also coordinate to reduce interference for a UE, regardless of the UE's ability to perform interference cancellation. Mobile device performance improvements may also be achieved by coordinating scheduling of resources by the non-serving base stations, by using communication formats compatible with interference cancellation, by spatial coordination.
