摘要:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for separating control transmissions and data transmissions within the coverage area of a plurality of transmission/reception points or points that are geographically displaced, the plurality of points comprising a macro node and a plurality of remote radio heads (RRHs) coupled to the macro node. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions in the macro node/RRH configuration may allow UEs to be associated with one set of transmission points for data transmissions and the same set or a different set of transmission points for common control signaling. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions may also allow for faster reconfiguration of antenna ports used for UE data transmission compared with reconfiguration via a handover process.

Techniques for sending control information in a manner to improve reliability are described. In an aspect, control information may be sent on multiple control channels, which may be independently configured and operated, in order to improve reliability. In one design, a base station may send signaling to instruct at least one UE to receive control information on both a first control channel (e.g., a Physical Downlink control Channel (PDCCH)) and a second control channel (e.g., a Relay PDCCH (R-PDCCH)). The base station may send control information for the at least one UE on the first and second control channels, e.g., in different time and/or frequency regions of a subframe. In another aspect, control information may be sent on a control channel in multiple subframes with bundling to improve reliability. A user equipment (UE) may perform the complementary processing to recover the control information sent by the base station on multiple control channels or with bundling.

Techniques for performing peer discovery to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) communication are disclosed. In an aspect, a proximity detection signal used for peer discovery may be generated based on one or more physical channels and/or signals used in a wireless network. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may generate a proximity detection signal occupying at least one resource block based on a SC-FDMA modulation technique. In another design, the UE may generate a proximity detection signal occupying at least one resource block based on an OFDMA modulation technique. The UE may generate SC-FDMA symbols or OFDMA symbols in different manners for different physical channels. In yet another design, the UE may generate a proximity detection signal including a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal. For all designs, the UE may transmit the proximity detection signal to indicate its presence and to enable other UEs to detect the UE.
摘要:
User equipment (UE) associated with synchronous networks operate in a synchronous mode while UEs associated with asynchronous networks operate in an asynchronous mode. When operating in a synchronous mode, a UE can significantly improve performance of synchronization signal detection, data decoding, and tracking loop management by using the interference cancellation (IC) techniques that are not available in an asynchronous mode of operation. Obtaining synchronization indicators and determining the synchronization status of the current network by UE is disclosed. The determination may be based on the synchronization indicator, whether detected through signal detection, signal measurements, signal analysis, or the like.
摘要:
Providing for improved error control signaling in wireless communications is disclosed herein. By way of example, multiple transmissions can be conducted for a HARQ process prior to a scheduled feedback signal on the HARQ process, causing a receiving device to combine the multiple transmissions, rather than treat them as separate transmissions. In this manner, multiple transmissions can be employed to increase overall receive energy, without violating maximum transmit power constraints in a wireless communication. Further, these multiple transmissions can be configured based on prevailing signal strength at the receiving device, or based on processing capabilities of the receiving device, providing flexible protocols that can accommodate advanced as well as legacy UEs in wide range of wireless conditions.

Methods, systems, apparatus and computer program products are provided to improve the reliability of data reception. In one provided embodiment, a communication signal is parsed by a communication device to identify repeat request identifiers. The device determines an inter-arrival time of two instances of the same identifier and processes the communication signal based on a comparison between the inter-arrival time and a predetermined time. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the disclosed subject matter. Therefore, it is to be understood that it should not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate responding to overload indicators in a wireless communication environment. A non-serving base station can send an over-the-air (OTA) overload indicator (OI) and a backhaul OI. A UE can receive the OTA OI from the non-serving base station, generate a report based upon the OTA OI, and send the report to a serving base station. The serving base station can receive the report from the UE, and generate a power control command for the UE based at least in part upon the report. Moreover, the serving base station can generate the power control command for the UE further based upon the backhaul OI received from the non-serving base station. For example, the UE can be configured to ignore the OTA OI. By way of another example, the serving base station can cause the non-serving base station to inhibit sending the backhaul OI.
摘要:
Devices and methods are provided for implementing an over-the-air (OTA) broadcast of an overload indication to reduce interference levels at neighboring node(s). In one embodiment, the method involves receiving the OTA broadcast of the overload indication from a neighboring node. The method further involves performing transmit power control based upon the received overload indication to reduce Interference over Thermal (IoT) noise at the neighboring node (e.g., by adjusting the transmit power spectral density). Such a method may be performed, for example, by an access terminal or a small base node.
