摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate controlling interference in a heterogeneous wireless communication environment. A Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) transmission from an interfering base station can be punctured based upon a puncturing pattern as a function of a cell identifier (ID) and a transmit time. Puncturing can be effectuated by applying power control. Thus, a punctured symbol or subframe can have a reduced transmit power or a transmit power set to zero. Further, the puncturing pattern can be defined on a subframe basis or on a symbol basis.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for signaling to expanded capability UEs that may limit the interruption of legacy UEs. According to certain aspects, a base station (e.g., an eNB) may generate and transmit one or more signals containing information that is recognizable by at least one expanded capability UE and identified as invalid by at least one legacy UE. An expanded capability UE may receive such signaling and identifying supplemental information in the signaling, while a legacy UE may regard the signaling as invalid.

Techniques for reporting channel information are described. In one aspect, a plurality of channel information reporting modes are available to a user equipment (UE) for reporting channel information for coordinated multi-point (CoMP) data transmission. The UE may determine a first channel information reporting mode to use, determine first channel information related to at least one cell in a CoMP measurement set of the UE, and send the first channel information in accordance with the first channel information reporting mode to one or more cells in the CoMP measurement set. The UE may also determine a second channel information reporting mode to use, determine second channel information related to multiple cells in the CoMP measurement set, and send the second channel information in accordance with the second channel information reporting mode. A plurality of channel feedback configurations may be supported, including a single-stage, a two-stage, and/or a one-shot channel configurations.

Methods and apparatus in a wireless communication system are described for receiving and processing transmit power control commands, where, for example, the response to the transmit power control commands is conditionally decoupled from at least one of a transmit bandwidth parameter, a transport format parameter and a power stepsize limit. 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.

Techniques for computing and reporting channel quality indication (CQI) are described. In an aspect, a plurality of CQI computation methods may be supported, and each CQI computation method may indicate how CQI should be computed. One CQI computation method may be selected for use. CQI may then be computed and reported in accordance with the selected CQI computation method. In an exemplary design, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a selected method for computing CQI, which may be chosen based on the UE capability and/or other factors. The selected method may specify (i) CQI computation for a specific codeword among a plurality of codewords or (ii) CQI computation by averaging signal quality across a plurality of layers used for transmission. The UE may compute CQI in accordance with the selected method, send the CQI to a base station, and receive data sent by the base station based on the CQI.
摘要:
Techniques for transmitting data using a combination of explicit cyclic delay and implicit cyclic delay are described. A transmitter may perform first processing for cyclic delay diversity (or explicit cyclic delay processing) based on a first set of cyclic delay values known to a receiver. The transmitter may perform precoding based on a precoding matrix either before or after the explicit cyclic delay processing. The transmitter may perform second processing for cyclic delay diversity (or implicit cyclic delay processing) based on a second set of cyclic delay values unknown to the receiver. The transmitter may perform both explicit and implicit cyclic delay processing for data and may perform only implicit cyclic delay processing for pilot. One entity may select the first set of cyclic delay values and inform the other entity. The transmitter may autonomously select the second set of cyclic delay values without informing the receiver.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate applying cyclic delay diversity (CDD) and precoding to wireless transmissions. In particular, data vectors to be transmitted to a number of receive antennas of a receiver can be transformed to a virtual antenna domain. CDD can be applied to this domain followed by precoding to allow the benefits of precoding to remain though CDD is applied. In this regard, the resulting signals can be transmitted without pouring transmission energy into null spaces unreachable by receiving devices.
摘要:
Obtaining a timing reference in wireless communication is facilitated when desiring to communicate with a weak serving base station (such as an evolved NodeB) in the presence of a stronger interfering base station. The user equipment (UE) may track a stronger interfering base station's timing, or the UE may track a timing that is derived by a composite power delay profile (PDP) from multiple base stations. The composite PDP may be constructed by adjusting individual base station PDPs according to a weighting scheme. The timing obtained in such a manner may be used for estimation of the channel of the interfering base station and cancelling interfering signals from the base station. It may also be used to estimate the channel of the serving base station after adding a backoff. The UE may track a stronger interfering base station's frequency, or the UE may track a composite frequency.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for providing cross-cell signaling and/or coordination for interference mitigation in wireless communication networks are described. In one aspect, a UE associated with a serving eNB may receive control signaling from another non-serving eNB in a different cell. The control signaling may be consistent with a characteristic of the serving eNB and associated cell. In another aspect, multiple eNBs may coordinate transmission of DL resources to minimize collisions of control signaling resources.
摘要:
Techniques for sending a MIMO transmission using a combination of cyclic delay diversity and precoding are described. A set of delays (e.g., zero delay, small delay, and large delay) for cyclic delay diversity and a set of precoding matrices may be supported. In one design, a Node B may select a delay specifically for a UE or for a set of UEs served by the Node B. In another design, a UE may evaluate different combinations of precoding matrix and delay, determine the combination with the best performance, and send this combination of precoding matrix and delay to the Node B. The Node B may perform precoding with the precoding matrix and then processing for cyclic delay diversity based on the selected delay. Alternatively, the Node B may perform processing for cyclic delay diversity based on the selected delay and then precoding with the precoding matrix.
