    摘要: In a wireless communication system, interference on data tones is estimated by detecting data transmissions from interferers. An overall interference covariance matrix is estimated as a function of scalar traffic to pilot ratio (TPR) estimates, residual interference covariance estimates, and covariance of channel estimates of dominant interferers. The interference estimates are refined as a function of reliability based on a ratio of power received from a serving cell and power received from a dominant interferer.

    摘要: Communication in a dominant interference scenario may be supported by performing inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC). According to certain aspects of ICIC, resource coordination/partitioning may be performed to allocate resources to a serving Node B located near the vicinity of a strong interfering Node B. The interfering Node B may avoid transmitting on the allocated/protected resources, but transmissions from the interfering Node B on resources not allocated to the serving Node B (i.e., unprotected) may cause significant interference on cell-specific reference signal (CRS) tones of the serving Node B. Therefore, if the CRS tones of the unallocated/unprotected resources are used, performance degradation may result to various operations of the serving Node B. Therefore, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a UE receiver in utilizing resource partitioning information (RPI) for performing CRS processing in a heterogeneous network (HetNet).

    摘要: Techniques for reliable channel decoding in a wireless network are provided. In one aspect, a wireless device receives system information over a physical broadcast channel of a downlink transmission. The wireless device decodes the physical broadcast channel of a current radio frame using a plurality of hypotheses until the decoding passes a cyclic redundancy check. Thereafter, the wireless device compares system information from the current radio frame with information obtained from a previous radio frame. The information from the previous radio frame may include one or more network parameters which may be stored in a memory of the wireless device. In some aspects, the comparison may be performed over a plurality of radio frames. Based at least in part on a result of the comparing, the wireless device may selectively reject system information from one or more of the radio frames.

    摘要: In a system of MIMO communications in a wireless network, a number of wireless units are logically divided into a plurality of user groups, through operation of a semi-orthogonal user selection sub-system. For example, the user selection sub-system may implement a heuristic user selection algorithm based on near-orthogonality. Each user group is assigned a discrete transmission channel, which may be orthogonally defined in terms of frequency, time, or code. Data is transmitted over the channels (e.g., from network base stations) in a coherently coordinated manner, according to a zero-forcing beamforming operation. The system may be configured for operation in a time/frequency selective manner, e.g., over time/frequency selective fading channels. The wireless units may be allocated to the time/frequency slots based on prioritization of channel strength and considerations of fairness, in conjunction with the application of a semi-orthogonal user selection algorithm.

    摘要: Providing for improved tracking and correction of timing in wireless communications is disclosed herein. By way of example, a first algorithm can be employed to track timing of a wireless signal, based on one dimension of the signal. Additionally, a second algorithm based on a different dimension of the signal can be employed to verify the timing and reduce errors in timing analysis. Various signal dimensions can be employed for the analysis, including cyclic prefix, frequency, channel impulse response, or the like, or a combination thereof. Additionally, different channels of the wireless signal can also be analyzed by the first algorithm and the second algorithm. Furthermore, the second algorithm can be selected to reduce deficiencies identified in the first algorithm, to improve overall timing analysis, reduce undetected timing errors or false errors, and improve timing correction.

    摘要: A method for communicating in an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) network using common reference signal (CRS) resources associated with different interference levels due to resource partitioning is disclosed. Signals are received from an eNodeB indicating a subset of CRS resources for radio link monitoring (RLM) and/or reference signal received power (RSRP) measuring. The subset of CRS resources includes the CRS resources expected to have lower interference from the interfering eNodeBs. RLM and/or RSRP measurements are performed based on the indicated subset.

    摘要: Communication in a dominant interference scenario may be supported by performing inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC). Resource coordination/partitioning may be performed to allocate resources to a serving Node B located near the vicinity of a strong interfering Node B. The interfering Node B may avoid transmitting on the allocated/protected resources, possibly except for a common reference signal (CRS). A UE can then communicate with the serving Node B on the protected resources in the presence of the interfering Node B and may observe no interference (possibly except for the CRS) from the interfering Node B. When CRS tones of an interferer may collide with control/data tones of a serving cell, CRS interference cancellation (CRS IC) or puncturing of interfered resource elements (REs) may be appropriate. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques, where the UE may dynamically switch between CRS IC and RE puncturing based on certain parameters.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for maintaining a time tracking loop (TTL) to increase an overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a signal. The signal includes a series of consecutive symbols, received via multiple signal paths with different delays in a subframe. When attempting to decode the signal, only part of a symbol for a signal path may be captured in a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window due to the multiple signal path delays, leading to inter-channel interference (ICI), inter-symbol interference (ISI), and/or power loss. The SNR may be increased by optimizing a FFT window position when decoding the signal. An optimal FFT window position may be based on a subframe type. Moreover, the SNR may be increased by performing a linear operation on samples of the symbol prior to performing the FFT.
