Some embodiments provide a method for channel estimation in a wireless device. According to the method, the wireless device obtains (1010) an indication that a set of antenna ports, or antenna port types, share at least one channel property. The wireless device then estimates (1020) one or more of the shared channel properties based at least on a first reference signal received from a first antenna port included in the set, or having a type corresponding to one of the types in the set. Furthermore, the wireless device performs (1030) channel estimation based on a second reference signal received from a second antenna port included in the set, or having a type corresponding to one of the types in the set, wherein the channel estimation is performed using at least the estimated channel properties.

In one aspect of the teachings herein, a transmitter transmits synchronization signals according to one or more defined transmission characteristics that enable a receiver to distinguish the type of transmitter and/or the type of carrier used to convey the synchronization signals. Different types of transmitters reuse at least some of the same synchronization signal sequences and generation algorithms, but use different transmission parameters to impart one or more recognizable characteristics to the transmitted synchronization signals. In turn, an appropriately configured receiver “knows” which characteristics are associated with which transmitter and/or carrier types. For example, wireless devices operating in a wireless communication network transmit device-generated synchronization signals that reuse at least some of the same sequences used by network base stations for the transmission of network synchronization signals. However, device-generated synchronization signals are transmitted using a relative positioning or mapping that characteristically differs from that used for network synchronization signals.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, a network node, and a computer program product for transmitting D2D synchronization signals. According to the method, D2D synchronization signals are received from a first network node. A hop number of the D2D synchronization signals is determined based on radio resources of the D2D synchronization signals. Whether to transmit the D2D synchronization signals to a second network node is determined based on the hop number.

There is disclosed a method for operating a D2D enabled UE for a cellular communication network. The method comprises performing a cell search in an out of coverage condition of the UE, wherein performing a cell search is based on a first measurement configuration during a first phase, and based on a second measurement configuration during a second phase, wherein the first measurement configuration pertains to a carrier whose sidelink is preconfigured for ProSe operation in out of network coverage operation.The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.

Systems and methods for signaling a pattern of cyclic shifts and orthogonal cover codes for use by a wireless device in multi-layer transmissions are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes receiving a signal that includes B bits for identifying a reference signal. Each of several available reference signals are defined by a cyclic shift and an orthogonal cover code. Further, the method includes using the B bits to identify the cyclic shift and orthogonal cover code according to pre-determined tables that map each value of the B bits to a pattern of cyclic shift and orthogonal cover code combinations for a multi-layer transmission scheme. The patterns for the multi-layer transmission scheme include first and second patterns based on the same cyclic shifts, but where some, but not all, of the cyclic shifts in the first pattern are associated with the same corresponding orthogonal cover codes in the second pattern. In addition, the method includes transmitting each of the one or more spatially multiplexed data streams using a corresponding reference signal for each data stream.

A method in a wireless device (900) of transmitting uplink reference signals from the wireless device (900) in a wireless communication network (100) to enable network-centric measurements comprises obtaining power control information defining a time-dependent power control setting for said uplink reference signals. The method also comprises determining transmit power values for the uplink reference signals according to the time-dependent power control setting, to provide uplink reference signals of different transmit power values at different time instants. The method further comprises transmitting the uplink reference signals with the determined transmit power values according to the time-dependent power control setting.
摘要:
A base station initializes pseudo-random sequence generators on which wireless devices base generation of uplink reference signals. The base station determines a first sequence from a first subset of possible initialization sequences for a sequence generator of a first device, and determines a second sequence from a second subset of possible initialization sequences for a sequence generator of a second device. The range of this second subset spans at least the range of the first subset. The base station further encodes the first sequence as a first set of two or more parameters, and encodes the second sequence as a second set of one or more parameters. This second set includes at least one parameter not included in the first set, and comprises fewer bits than the first set. The base station initializes the sequence generators by transmitting the first and second sets of parameters to the devices.
