Abstract:
This invention measures the propagation delay τ1 between the user equipment and a first cooperating unit and the propagation delay τ2 between the user equipment and a second cooperating unit. These propagation delays are used to compute a timing advance amount to the user equipment to enable coordinated multi-point reception. In a first embodiment one cooperating unit receives a function of the propagation delay, computes the timing advance amount and transmits a timing advance command to the user equipment. In a second embodiment a central unit performs these operations.
Abstract:
A method of mapping control information in a wireless communication system is disclosed (FIG. 5). The method includes forming a subframe (FIG. 3) having a bandwidth and having plural regions (302-306). A base station (eNB) determines a communication mode with a remote user equipment. The base station maps control information specific to the user equipment into a first region of the subframe (508). The base station also maps control information common to plural user equipments into a second region of the subframe (512). The subframe is transmitted to the plural user equipments (412, FIG. 4).
Abstract:
A method of operating a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes establishing communications with a remote transceiver. A subframe configuration including static and flexible subframes is determined and transmitted to the remote transceiver. A channel state information (CSI) report is received from the remote transceiver in response to the subframe configuration.

Abstract:
A wireless transmission system included at least one user equipment and a base station. The base station is operable to form a downlink control information block, modulate the downlink control information, precode the modulated downlink control information, and transmit the precoded, modulated downlink control information on at least one demodulation reference signal antenna port to the at least one user equipment. The precoded, modulated downlink control information is mapped to a set of N1 physical resource block pairs in a subframe from an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol T1 to and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol T2.
Abstract:
A method of operating a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes configuring a user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation with N serving cells, where N is a positive integer. The UE is scheduled to receive downlink data from M of the N serving cells at a first time, where M is a positive integer less than or equal to N. The UE provides uplink control information (UCI) for only the M serving cells.
