Abstract:
The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for implementing power control for uplink orthogonal and non-orthogonal resources for an uplink channel, e.g. for PUCCH or PUCSH, when CoMP is utilized in a wireless network (e.g., LTE).
Abstract:
Resources for reference signalling on at least one component carrier of a plurality of aggregated component carriers can be determined by a station. Information indicative the at least one component carrier and the associated resources is then communicated to another station for configuration of the other station. A trigger is then sent for reference signalling, and in response to the trigger, at least one reference signal is sent from the other station using the indicated at least one component carrier and resources.
Abstract:
A method configures a communication between a base station, a first user equipment adapted to operate with a first system bandwidth and a second user equipment adapted to operate with a second system bandwidth. The first system bandwidth is broader than the second system bandwidth. The base station, the first user equipment and the second user equipment are located within a cellular network system. The method includes providing first common channels or signals within the first system bandwidth and providing second common channels or signals within the second system bandwidth, wherein a part of the first common channels or signals and a part of the second common channels or signals are superpositioned. The method further includes configuring at least one of the common channels or signals of the part of the first common channels or signals to be used by the first user equipment and the second user equipment.
Abstract:
A base station determines a first set of PUCCH resources to use for a first set of UEs to send acknowledgment information to the base station for a first group of DL subframes. The first set of PUCCH resources starts at a first index. The base station determines a second set of PUCCH resources to use for a second set of UEs to send acknowledgment information to the base station for a second group of DL subframes. The second set of PUCCH resources starts at a second index. The UEs in the first set only use the first set of PUCCH resources. The UEs in the second set use the first and second sets of PUCCH resources. For an UL reception, acknowledgement information is received from the first UEs using the first set of PUCCH resources and from the second UEs using the first and second sets of PUCCH resources.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus including at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: allocate at least one specific uplink resource for uplink shared channel data to at least one device operable at decreased transmission power and/or bit rate, wherein the at least one specific uplink resource is at least one frequency resource and/or at least one time resource, and wherein the at least one specific uplink resource includes a plurality of reference symbols, and if a plurality of devices are allocated, separate the devices on the at least one specific uplink resource by multiplexing, wherein the multiplexing includes code division multiplexing.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate handling of uplink communications. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from an uplink coverage extension for unlicensed band operation. A method can include configuring a first interlace having a first starting physical resource block. The method can also include configuring a second interlace having a second starting physical resource block offset from the first physical resource block. The method can further include transmitting or receiving a signal based on a combination of the first interlace and the second interlace. The combination can include at least one cluster but less than two clusters in each measurement interval.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving initial acknowledgement resource information at a user device from a base station. The initial acknowledgement resource information is associated with a subset of acknowledgement resources. The method includes determining in dependence on the initial acknowledgement resource information which of the subset of acknowledgement resources is to be used. The user device transmits an acknowledgement on the determined resource.
Abstract:
A method including receiving at a wireless communication device first and second scheduling information indicative of attributes related to a data transmission. The first scheduling information including information indicative of contents attributes of the data transmission, and the subsequently received second scheduling information being indicative of time attributes of the data transmission.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising controlling receiving, at a node, subframe type configuration information, said subframe type configuration information defining at least one subframe type of a group of subframes to be used in a secondary cell, said secondary cell configured to provide at least one of licensed-assisted access, licensed shared access and co-primary sharing access and using said subframe type configuration information to cause the node to operate in accordance with that configuration in the secondary cell.
Abstract:
A method comprises receiving in a first subframe of a burst from a base station a downlink transport block for which an acknowledgement is required. A first uplink channel in which an acknowledgement of said transport block to be provided is prepared. The first uplink channel is independent of transmission information. The first prepared uplink channel is transmitted with the acknowledgement in a later burst.
