Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses, systems, and methods for initialization of pseudo noise (PN) sequences for reference signals and data scrambling. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a fixed value; and initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with a compressed value. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a fixed value; initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and shift the PN sequence by another part of the initialization parameters. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with another part of the initialization parameters. The embodiments may lead to a more efficient hardware design.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include devices, methods, computer-readable media and system configurations for reference signal generation and resource allocation. In various embodiments, a wireless communication device may include a control module, which may be operated by a processor and configured to transmit to a user equipment (“UE”) device, over a wireless communication interface, a parameter specific to the UE device; wherein the parameter is usable by the eNB to generate a user equipment-specific reference signal (“UE-RS”) to be sent to the UE device. The parameter may be usable by the UE device to identify the UE-RS to facilitate demodulation of multiple-input, multiple-output communications. In various embodiments, a control module may be configured to store, in memory, priority rules, and to determine a UE-RS resource allocated to another UE device based on a UE-RS resource allocated to the UE device and the priority rules.
Abstract:
An enhanced NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of Channel State Information (CSI) measurement and reporting using reduced bandwidth are generally described herein. The UE is preconfigured with a resource configuration information or the configuration information is transmitted to the UE from the eNB. The configuration information indicates a narrowband region on which to monitor for and receive physical downlink control and data channels and perform measurements for CSI computation. The region has a reduced bandwidth that is supported by the UE and is free from subbands outside of the region. The UE takes measurements of downlink transmissions using the assigned resources. The measurements are limited to subbands included within the region. The UE calculates the CSI based on an unrestricted time interval within subframes of the region and a restricted frequency interval free from physical resource blocks outside the region. The UE reports a region-specific wideband CSI that includes at least a region-specific wideband Channel Quality Indicator to the eNB.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a conventional physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted in a first region of a physical downlink control channel structure utilized by a remote radio head that has been assigned a cell identifier that is common to one or more other remote radio heads within the cell, and an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) is transmitted in a second region of the physical downlink control channel structure.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to apparatus for wireless interference mitigation within a first User Equipment (UE). The apparatus comprises at least one channel estimator for estimating a first channel transfer function associated with a first received signal designated for the first UE, and for estimating a second channel transfer function associated with a second received, interference, signal. A symbol estimator is responsive to the at least one channel estimator to process at least the first received signal to produce a symbol estimation. A demodulator, which is responsive to the channel estimator, demodulates the symbol estimation to an output representing a received data unit corresponding to the symbol estimation. The demodulator has a processing unit arranged to demodulate the symbol estimation using the first channel transfer function, the second channel transfer function and a respective modulation scheme for at least the first received signal.
Abstract:
Wireless device, method, and computer readable media are disclosed for determining which channel status information (CSI) report of a user equipment (UE) to drop from a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) packet. The method may include determining that a first CSI report and a second CSI report are to be sent in the PUCCH, where the first CSI report has a first reporting type and a first CSI sub-frame set, and the second CSI report has a second reporting type and a second CSI sub-frame set. The method may include determining to drop the first CSI report if the first CSI sub-frame set has a second lower priority than the second CSI sub-frame set. The determination to drop may be further based on a CSI processor index, serving cell index, and the CSI report priority.
Abstract:
Uplink communication techniques for non-ideal backhaul scenarios are described. In one embodiment, for example, user equipment (UE) may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive an uplink (UL) communication process configuration message identifying a configured UL communication process for the UE, the UL communication process configuration message comprising a cell identifier and one or more configuration information elements (IEs), each configuration IE comprising configuration information for UL communications on the part of the UE, the logic to send a UL message based on the configuration information comprised in at least one of the configuration IEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a central processing unit and methods for supporting coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmissions in a 3GPP LTE network with non-ideal backhaul links are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the CPU may be arranged for scheduling and assigning resources for subordinate enhanced node Bs (eNBs) over the backhaul links for CoMP transmissions. The scheduling may include an additional number of HARQ processes to compensate, at least in part, for backhaul link latency.
Abstract:
Technology for periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is disclosed. One method can include a user equipment (UE) generating a CSI report with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) first reporting type and a CSI report with a PUCCH second reporting type; and dropping a CSI report with the PUCCH first reporting type of a serving cell when the CSI report with the PUCCH first reporting type has a collision with the CSI report with PUCCH second reporting type of the serving cell. The PUCCH first reporting type can have a lower priority level than the PUCCH second reporting type.
Abstract:
Embodiments of providing enhanced interference measurements for CSI feedback are generally described herein. In some embodiments, CSI-IM resources are used by UE to perform interference measurements. The serving cell determines a hopping pattern for varying a position of the determined CSI-IM resources in subframes transmitted to the served UE. The determined CSI-IM resources and the determined CSI-IM resources hopping pattern are transmitted to the served UE. The serving node transmits a zero-power (ZP) CSI-RS. The serving node receives an interference measurement from the served UE based on CSI-IM and ZP CSI-RS provided to the served UE from the serving cell. Collisions between the CSI-IM of the serving node and CSI-IM of the non-serving nodes are minimized by the determined CSI-IM resources hopping pattern.
