    摘要: A method for improving channel estimation in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A wireless signal that includes a plurality of multipath components is received. N channel estimates are then obtained, where N is any positive integer greater than one. Each channel estimate of the N channel estimates corresponds to a different multipath component of the plurality of multipath components. The effects of interference between the plurality of multipath components on the N channel estimates is then reduced.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for control signaling and channel selection in cognitive Long Term Evolution (LTE). In one example, there is provided a method, operable by a mobile entity, that involves receiving, on a licensed channel, broadcasted channel usage information regarding at least one unlicensed channel used by one or more network nodes. The method further involves: performing a cell search procedure based at least in part on the channel usage information to select a given network node among the one or more network nodes; determining at least one random access parameter to be used in establishing wireless communication with the given network node, the at least one random access parameter being associated with a characteristic of the user device and determining a preferred downlink channel.

    摘要: A low complexity List Viterbi algorithm (LVA) for decoding tail biting convolutional codes (TBCCs) has lower complexity than a solution of running the LVA algorithm for all states. In one aspect, a low complexity LVA-TBCC process includes finding a list of states from a single Viterbi algorithm and finding a list of potential codewords for each state in the state list using the LVA. A cyclic redundancy check may prune out false solutions. The disclosed method may be applied to many communication systems to improve error performance similar to LTE downlink PBCH decoding enhancements.

    摘要: In release 8 of the LTE standard (“Rel-8”), a control channel and its associated data channel for downlink may be found in the same subframe. However, decoding of the control channel may be difficult if there is strong interference from different cells (e.g., due to interference from strong/dominant interfering cells). Communication in a dominant interference scenario may be supported by performing inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC). For example, cells may partition subframes to avoid interference. For some embodiments, allocating resources for a downlink data channel on one subframe may come from a PDCCH on a different subframe, which can be referred to as a cross-subframe assignment. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide subframe-specific search spaces that may be used when there is at least one cross-subframe assignment in a subframe.

    摘要: Efficient apparatus and method for Zadoff-Chu (“Chu”) sequence generation avoids additional processing and hardware complexity of conventional quadratic generating formula followed by Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) with a reference signal generator that produces both a Zadoff-Chu sequence and its DFT. In the wireless communication system (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) system), Chu sequences are extensively used, especially in the uplink (UL). Because of the single carrier operating mode, transmitting a Chu sequence in principle involves a succession of generating that sequence, performing a DFT operation and then an IFFT operation. Assuming that the sequence length is N, the initial sequence generation requires 2N multiplications and the DFT requires more than N log 2(N) multiplications. Given the frequent processing of Chu sequences, this would represent a complexity burden. The invention makes it possible to perform the sequence generation and DFT steps without any multiplication operation, except for possibly calculating certain initial parameters.

    摘要: Decision metrics used to decode wireless communication payloads are combined for successive frames to improve decoding of the later received frames. A bitwise payload difference between successive frames is encoded in the same manner the payloads are encoded. Decision metrics determined for the earlier received frame are combined with the encoded payload difference to generate adjusted decision metrics. The adjusted decision metrics are combined with decision metrics determined for the later received frame. The combined decision metrics are decoded to generate a payload for the later received frame. If the decoding is not successful the combined decision metrics are carried forward and the process is repeated based on the payload difference between the following frames.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the disclosure relate to performing cross-subframe control channel signaling for wireless communications. A method may be provided for signaling downlink control channel resource allocations and/or physical control format indications in a subframe different from the subframe in which a downlink data transmission may be performed. In one aspect, the method may include transmitting PDCCH and/or PCFICH during a first subframe to allocate resources for a PDSCH during a second subframe and transmitting the PDSCH during the second subframe.
