A base station is provided. The base station comprises a downlink transmit path comprising circuitry configured to transmit a plurality of reference signals in two or more resource blocks. Each resource block comprises S OFDM symbols. Each of the S OFDM symbols comprises N subcarriers, and each subcarrier of each OFDM symbol comprises a resource element. The base station further comprises a reference signal allocator configured to allocate the plurality of reference signals to selected resource elements of the two or more resource blocks according to a reference signal pattern. A same pre-coding matrix is applied across the two or more resource blocks.

A mobile station includes a transmission chain capable of communicating via an uplink transmission to at least one base station in a Multiple Input Multiple Output wireless network. The mobile station includes a plurality of transmit antenna and a transmitter coupled to the plurality of transmit antenna. The transmitter includes a layer mapper that maps data and uplink control information to at least one layer. The mapping is performed prior to Discrete Fourier Transform precoding such that the data and uplink control information are multiplexed and interleaved. The transmitter is configured to simultaneously transmit the data and uplink control information on at least one of a plurality of transmission layers.

A base station that communicates with a plurality of subscriber stations in a wireless communications network is configured to allocate downlink physical channel resources in asymmetric carrier systems. The base station includes a transmitter configured to allocate a set of Physical Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Indicator Channel (PHICH) resources in a downlink carrier. The transmitter can inform, via an uplink grant, a subscriber station regarding one or more PHICH resources from the allocated set of PHICH resources. The base station also includes a receiver that can receive a data communication from the subscriber station within PRBs in a number of uplink carriers that correspond to PRB indices included in the uplink grant. The transmitter can transmit an Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement on the allocated PHICH resources in the downlink carrier such that a PHICH resource is defined by the PRB index and at least one offset value.

A base station comprising an allocator configured to allocate a plurality of dedicated reference (DR) signals to selected resource elements. In the even-numbered time slot in a first resource block, a first group of DR signals are: i) allocated to a first group of adjacent resource elements; and ii) allocated to a second group of adjacent resource elements. In the contiguous odd-numbered time slot in the first resource block, the first group of DR signals are allocated to a third group of adjacent resource elements. In the even-numbered time slot in a second resource block, the first group of adjacent DR signals are allocated to a fourth group of resource elements. In the contiguous odd-numbered time slot in the second resource block, the first group of DR signals are: i) allocated to a fifth group of adjacent resource elements; and ii) allocated to a sixth group of adjacent resource elements.

Systems and methods are disclosed for use in a wireless communication system including a base station configured to identify unused PRBS. This base station includes a communication unit that is in communication with at least one subscriber station and a processor configured to identify at least one PRB as unused. Upon determining that at least one PRB is unused, the base station transmits information related to the unused PRBs to the at least one subscriber station through a control message.

Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving multi-user control channels through a data channel region in a wireless communication system using multiple antennas. Further provided is a definition of a new search space for control channel candidates. In the transmitting method, a base station forms control channels for a plurality of user equipment each of which is composed of at least one resource block, performs a mapping for the control channels by dividing a space of the same transmission region in a data channel region of a sub-frame, and then multiplexes the control channels with data channels in the data channel region of the sub-frame and to transmit the multiplexed control channels.

A mobile station for use in a wireless network that operates according to the Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) standard is operable to transmit an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station in response to a triggering grant received from the base station. The bandwidth on which the mobile station transmits the aperiodic SRS depends on a type of the triggering grant. The type of the triggering grant is one of a downlink grant, an uplink multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) grant, and an uplink single-input, multiple-output (SIMO) grant.
摘要:
Channel State Information (CSI) is reported by a subscriber station to a base station. The CSI is reported periodically for at least two physical uplink control channels (PUCCH). In case of a collision between a report for a first PUCCH and a report for the second PUCCH, each of the report types is partitioned into one of a number of classes, which include: a first class for rank indicator related report types and wideband (WB) W1 report types; a second class for WB report types or WB channel quality indicator report types; and a third class for subband related report types or W1 report types. A priority rule assigns a priority to each of the classes. The CSI feedback reports are transmitted according to the priority rule such that the report type included in a higher class is transmitted and the report type included in the lower class are dropped.

A base station can communicate with a plurality of subscriber stations in a Multi-User (MU) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The base station includes a transmitter and plurality of antenna configured to transmit control information. The base station can transmit a resource block to a first subscriber station. The resource block includes at least two downlink reference signal (DRS) patterns. The base station can assign a first DRS pattern for use by the first subscriber station. The base station informs the subscriber station regarding the assignment by reserving a state in a downlink grant. In response, the subscriber station can utilize the first DRS pattern as a pilot resource element and, optionally, avoid other DRS patterns.

A base station includes a transmit path circuitry to transmit an uplink grant to a subscriber station. The uplink grant indicating a first MCS value for a first codeword transmission and a second MCS value for a second codeword transmission. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry configured to receive a MIMO uplink subframe from the subscriber station, the MIMO uplink subframe having a first subset of layers used for the first codeword transmission and a second subset of layers used for the second codeword transmission. ACK/NACK information and RI information are repeated on both the first and second subsets of layers, and CQI is spatially multiplexed on either the first subset or the second subset of layers. If the first MCS value is different from the second MCS value, the CQI is spatially multiplexed onto the subset of layers having a higher MCS value.
