The present invention relates to an apparatus and a corresponding method for mapping error correction code encoded time-domain data of at least two mapping input data streams (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) onto a time-domain mapping output data stream (Q) having a frame structure, comprising a data input (102) for receiving said at least two mapping input data streams (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) each being segmented into data blocks (D1, D2, . . . , DN) carrying error correction code encoded data, a data mapper (104) for mapping the data blocks (D1, D2, . . . , DN) of said at least two mapping input data streams (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) onto frames of said mapping output data stream (Q), each frame comprising a number of frame intervals (F1, F2, . . . , FM), wherein the data mapper (104) is adapted for mapping the data blocks (D1, D2, . . . , DN) onto said frame intervals such that each frame interval (F1, F2, . . . , FM) carries sequentially arranged data blocks (D1, D2, . . . , DN) from various mapping input data streams (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) and that within a frame the mapping of data blocks (D1, D2, . . . , DN) from the various mapping input data streams (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) onto frame intervals (F1, F2, . . . , FM) is different from frame interval to frame interval, and a data output (110) for outputting said mapping output data stream (Q).
Abstract:
A method may include transmitting, by an optical device, a first set of channels at a first transmission power. The first set of channels may be attenuated during transmission by a filter associated with a wavelength selective switch. The method may further include transmitting, by the optical device, a second set of channels at a second transmission power. The second set of channels may be attenuated during transmission by the filter associated with the wavelength selective switch. The first set of channels and the second set of channels may be included in a super-channel. The first transmission power may be selected based on a first signal quality factor resulting from attenuation, by the filter, of the first set of channels. The second transmission power may be selected based on a second signal quality factor resulting from attenuation, by the filter, of the second set of channels.
Abstract:
An optical multi carrier signal has a modulation format and has many individual carrier signals. Parameters of the signal are controlled by receiving an indication of individual carrier transmission performance of the individual carrier signals, and selecting parameter values for the individual carrier signals, the parameter values comprising both a carrier FEC overhead and a carrier bandwidth for the modulation format. Selection is made according to the indicated individual carrier transmission performance and according to an overall spectral efficiency of the multi carrier signal. The selected parameter values are output for control of the optical multi carrier signal. By selecting values for both parameters rather than either one, better optimisation can be obtained since they are interdependent. The control can have better granularity than changing modulation format, and can make better use of bandwidth or improve the overall capacity.

The present invention relates to a method in a UE served by a network node, a method in the network node, the UE, and the network node. The network node is applying dynamic TDD with flexible subframes. The method comprises receiving (900) a first configuration message from the network node indicating a TDD reference configuration, and determining (910) in which subframe to signal HARQ information based on the TDD reference configuration. The method further comprises receiving (920) a second configuration message from the network node indicating a set of DL subframes that may comprise explicit signaling messages, monitoring (930) the indicated set of DL subframes, and receiving (940) an explicit signaling message in response to monitoring. The explicit signaling message designates a subframe in which the UE shall receive a DL signal. The method also comprises preparing (950) to receive the DL signal in the designated subframe.

A base station and method for use in a wireless system are provided. The method includes receiving, by a base station, one or more service data unit (SDUs) from a core network node; receiving, by the base station, a control message including respective length information of the one or more SDUs from the core network node; and processing, by the base station, the one or more SDUs, based on the length information included in the control message. The control message is transmitted after the one or more SDUs are transmitted from the core network node.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for rate prediction in a wireless communication system having fractional frequency reuse are disclosed. A wireless communication system implementing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) can implement a fractional frequency reuse plan where a portion of carriers is allocated for terminals not anticipating handoff and another portion of the carriers is reserved for terminals having a higher probability of handoff. Each of the portions can define a reuse set. The terminals can be constrained to frequency hop within a reuse set. The terminal can also be configured to determine a reuse set based on a present assignment of a subset of carriers. The terminal can determine a channel estimate and a channel quality indicator based in part on at least the present reuse set. The terminal can report the channel quality indicator to a source, which can determine a rate based on the index value.
Abstract:
A 10GBASE-T circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a physical (PHY) integrated circuit and a media access control (MAC) integrated circuit. The PHY couples to a data transfer medium and carries out data transfers at a PHY data rate. The MAC integrated circuit controls access to the date transfer medium and couples to the PHY via a bidirectional link operating at a MAC data rate. Rate control logic detects the PHY data rate, and adjusts the MAC data rate to the PHY data rate. Changes to the PHY and MAC data rates may be made at rates higher than 1 Gbps.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed that can be performed in at least one network node which provides wireless communications service for user equipment nodes (UEs). The method includes detecting uplink interference at an interfered network node. Responsive to the uplink interference, an uplink transmission having a defined configuration is initiated from a UE, which is served by a serving network node. The uplink signal is detected using the defined configuration at the interfered network node. The UE is identified responsive to the detected uplink signal as being a contributor to the uplink interference. An uplink transmission by the UE and/or by another UE served by the serving network node is controlled to reduce uplink interference.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus controls a transport format for retransmission of data packets transmitted uplink to a receiving apparatus via at least one data channel using an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol. A transmitter transmits an uplink data packet via the data channel to the receiving apparatus, and a receiver receives first information along with second information from the receiving apparatus. The first information is used for determination whether to perform a retransmission of the uplink data packet at the transmission apparatus, and the second information indicates a transport format for the retransmission. The transmitter transmits the retransmission from the transmission apparatus to the receiving apparatus according to the transport format indicated in the second information element using a transmission timing based on the ARQ protocol.
