    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate scheduling over multiple hops in a wireless communication network. Radio resources can be partitioned into sets of sub-frames that can be allocated statically and/or dynamically. Statically allocated radio resources can be reassigned over time based on the loading on each hop and/or throughput imbalance. In addition, dynamic assignment of sub-frames to each hop can be based on traffic or channel conditions. Moreover, the radio resources can be dynamically allocated in a distributed scheme, wherein a base station controls the scheduling of resources, or a centralized scheme, wherein a relay station controls the scheduling of resources. Furthermore the allocation of radio resources can be transparent or explicit. In the transparent case, the access terminal listens directly to the base station, and the relay station does not transmit control information, such as DL or UL assignments. Conversely, when the allocation of resources is explicit the relay station does transmit control information.

    摘要: Techniques for selecting a serving base station for a terminal in a wireless communication network are described. In one design, multiple candidate base stations for the terminal may be identified, with each candidate base station being a candidate for selection as the serving base station for the terminal. The multiple candidate base stations may include base stations with different transmit power levels and/or may support interference mitigation. One of the multiple candidate base stations may be selected as the serving base station. In one design, the serving base station may be selected based on at least one metric for each candidate base station. The at least one metrics may be for pathloss, effective transmit power, effective geometry, projected data rate, control channel reliability, network utility, etc. The selected candidate base station may have a lower SINR than a highest SINR among the multiple candidate base stations.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate requesting blanking over control resources from one or more interfering eNBs or devices. An eNB, such as a macrocell, femtocell or picocell eNB, can transmit a downlink control blanking message to a UE directing the UE to perform blanking (e.g., for uplink control resources) or request the blanking from the interfering eNBs or devices (e.g., for downlink control resources). The downlink control blanking message can specify the desired control resources and/or information to determine the control resources. Thus, dynamic control blanking is provided such that blanking is requested to mitigate interference over control resources for the small scale eNB. The small scale eNB can subsequently communicate control data to the UE over the control resources; the control data can include a resource blanking message that similarly directs the UE to request blanking of general data resource from the interfering eNBs or devices.

    摘要: Techniques for relaying transmissions in a wireless communication network are described. In one design, a relay may receive at least one assignment for a packet, which may be sent to the relay or intercepted by the relay. The relay may receive at least one transmission of a packet sent from a transmitter to a receiver. The relay may process the at least one transmission to decode the packet and may generate at least one additional transmission of the packet after correctly decoding the packet. The relay may send the at least one additional transmission of the packet to the receiver. The transmission(s) and the additional transmission(s) may be HARQ transmissions with different redundancy information for the packet. The transmitter may send transmissions until an acknowledgement (ACK) is received from the receiver or the relay. The relay may send additional transmissions until an ACK is received from the receiver.

    摘要: Techniques for selectively transmitting a power decision pilot are described. The power decision pilot may be indicative of the transmit power to use for data transmission in a future time interval. The power decision pilot may be transmitted when sufficiently beneficial for channel quality estimation or omitted otherwise. Whether or not to transmit the power decision pilot may be determined based on system type (e.g., heterogeneous or homogeneous system), the presence or absence of a dominant interferer, whether a reduce interference request is received, etc. For example, a base station may transmit a power decision pilot if it causes high interference to a non-served terminal, if a served terminal observes high interference from a neighbor base station, if the base station receives a reduce interference request from a non-served terminal, etc. The power decision pilot may be transmitted if a determination is made to transmit the pilot or omitted otherwise.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate configuring a sounding reference signal transmission in a wireless communication environment. A UE can employ coordinated multi-point transmission and/or reception such that multiple cells collaborate to transmit data to the UE and/or receive data from the UE. To support the coordinated multi-point transmission and/or reception, the UE can transmit a sounding reference signal that is configured to enable reliable reception of the sounding reference signal by members of a cooperating set. In addition, configuration of the sounding reference signal can be coordinated to enable more efficient transmission and utilization of the sounding reference signal. Configuration of the sounding reference signal can be based upon information exchanged between the multiple cells. Moreover, the multiple cells can coordinate to set and control a transmit power of the sounding reference signal.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate generation and processing of control signaling to support uplink network multiple-in-multiple-out (N-MIMO) communication in a wireless communication system. As described herein, respective network nodes associated with an uplink N-MIMO framework can generate channel state information (CSI) corresponding to an uplink channel from a designated network user to the respective nodes. Generated CSI can subsequently be communicated to an uplink anchor node for the network user in order to facilitate rate assignment, scheduling, and/or other operations with respect to the network user. As described herein, CSI generated and reported by respective cells can include channel profiles, carrier/interference profiles, estimated supported uplink rates, or the like. As additionally described herein, supplemental information such as observed interference levels, demodulation indicators, or the like can be communicated to an anchor node and utilized in rate assignment and/or scheduling.

    摘要: Techniques for managing interference in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, reduce interference requests and interference indicators may be used for interference management to enable operation in scenarios with dominant interferers. In one design, a terminal may receive a reduce interference request from a first base station requesting lower interference on specified time-frequency resources. The terminal may also receive an interference indicator conveying the interference observed by a second base station. The terminal may determine its transmit power based on the reduce interference request and the interference indicator. For example, the terminal may determine an initial transmit power based on the reduce interference request (or the interference indicator) and may adjust the initial transmit power based on the interference indicator (or the reduce interference request) to obtain its transmit power. The terminal may transmit data to a serving base station at the determined transmit power.

    摘要: Techniques for transmitting and receiving data with spatial interference mitigation in a wireless communication network are described. In one design, a cell may receive precoding information from a first user equipment (UE) communicating with the cell and spatial feedback information (SFI) from a second UE not communicating with the cell. The cell may select a precoding matrix based on the precoding information and the SFI. The precoding matrix may steer a transmission toward the first UE and away from the second UE. The cell may send a reference signal based on the precoding matrix, send a resource quality information (RQI) request to the first UE, receive RQI determined by the first UE based on the reference signal, and determine a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the RQI. The cell may then send a data transmission to the first UE with the precoding matrix and in accordance with the MCS.
