摘要:
A method and apparatus for control channel transmission and reception is provided herein. In particular, the use of a partitioned and structured control channel is provided that leverages the benefits of common control while maintaining favorable aspects of dedicated control. During operation, control information is distributed over a number of partitions (201). Each Pi is encoded (607) with monotonically non-increasing reliability level. Control information for a given remote unit can be distributed on one or several partitions, from P1 to Pk, where Pk is encoded with the lowest reliability level that can be decodable by the remote unit at an acceptable error rate.

Received data packets are channel-encoded prior to fragmentation so that large data packets, which would not otherwise fit within the available frame resources, are transmitted by fragmenting the channel-encoded physical layer packet. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ) is then utilized to ensure reliability.

A method for providing a low-feedback scheme for link-quality reporting based on the EESM technique is provided herein. During operation, a node will analyze the current channel conditions and determine a non-linear approximation of the carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR). The non-linear approximation is sent to a communication unit as a channel-selectivity report, causing the communication unit to utilize the report to assist with modulation and coding selection.

Communications sourced by a remote unit (14) that is already within reception range of a base site (10) can nevertheless be further facilitated through allocation of one or more relay resources (15, 16). Such relay resources, properly employed, then serve to effectively increase the quality of service for the facilitated communication. This, in turn, can permit the use of, for example, increased data rates for communications from a relatively low power remote unit.

A system and method for relaying transmissions in wireless communications is provided. A method for combined relay node operation includes determining an operating mode of the combined relay node, where the combined relay node includes a repeater and a relay. The method also includes if the operating mode is repeater on mode, amplifying and forwarding received signals, and storing subframes, where subframes are demodulated and decoded versions of the received signals. The method further includes if the operating mode is repeater off mode, amplifying and forwarding a control zone of signals received while the operating mode is repeater off mode, and transmitting subframes stored while the operating mode is repeater on mode.

A base station (e.g., an evolved Node B) determines whether the physical broadcast channel (PBCH), reference signals (SCH) and common reference signals (CRS) are transmitted (or awaiting transmission) on a secondary component carrier (Scell) with the cell. The determination information is transmitted to a user equipment (UE) to inform the UE that the Scell transmissions do not include PBCH/SCH/CRS. As a result, the resource elements (REs) normally used to carry system information in the PBCH/SCH/CRS can be dynamically assigned (or reassigned) to the data channel. In this manner, the physical downlink shared channel (PBSCH) bandwidth can be increased by utilizing those resource elements that are normally reserved/assigned to the PBCH/SCH/CRS.

A resource allocation method, a network device and a wireless system are disclosed. The method includes: sorting Resource Blocks (RBs) used by a terminal of a first system and a terminal of a second system according to a use situation of the RBs used by the terminal of the first system and the terminal of the second system; and allocating the sorted RBs. When some RBs are available to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) terminal, coexistence of an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) terminal and the LTE terminal is enabled, and compatibility between the LTE-A terminal and the LTE terminal is ensured.
摘要:
A communication system and a method of communicating backhaul data. The communication system can include a controller. The controller can dynamically select from a plurality of backhaul sites at least a first backhaul site to establish a backhaul communication link with an access point. The controller also can generate a control signal that indicates to the access point to beam steer a backhaul signal to the first backhaul site. The access point can include a phased array that dynamically beam steers the backhaul signal in azimuth and elevation.
摘要:
A method in a wireless communication network (100) wherein information is communicated in a frame structure wherein each frame includes multiple sub-frames, including grouping at least two wireless communication terminals in a group, assigning the group to less than all sub-frames constituting a communication frame, and assigning a radio resource assignment control channel of one or more assigned sub-frames to the group. The control channel is used to assign radio resources to one or more terminals of the group.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for pilot signal transmission is disclosed herein. In particular, a pilot transmission scheme is utilized where pilot sub-carrier bandwidth differs from data sub-carrier bandwidth. Because some user's data sub-carriers will no longer have the user's pilot sub-carriers adjacent to them, the set, or pattern of sub-carriers used by the pilot blocks changes at least once in a burst. Changing the pilot block pattern (the set of occupied pilot block sub-carriers) at least once in the burst serves to increase the frequency proximity of occupied data sub-carriers to occupied pilot sub-carriers in the burst.
