A method and system for fractional frequency reuse in a communication network. A plurality of fractional frequency reuse modes for wireless communication are defined in which each of the modes are associated with a corresponding group of wireless communication tones assigned to one of a plurality of power levels. Communication with at least one mobile terminal in a first region is established using a fractional frequency reuse mode from the plurality of fractional frequency reuse modes. A coverage problem with communication with at least one of the mobile terminal in the first sector is detected. A base station associated with a second region is notified to change communication within the second region to a different fractional frequency reuse mode from the plurality of fractional frequency reuse modes.

In order to minimize the control signaling overhead associated with transmitting CQI data from mobile stations to base stations in wireless communication networks supporting MU-MIMO, the CQI during MU-MIMO operation is estimated based on SU-MIMO CQI data, mobile station geometry data, and mobile station PMI (Precoding Matrix Index) data. More particularly, the base station maintains and updates a knowledge pool that correlates geometry data and learned impact of interfering precoder data to degradation of CQI values responsive to switching from SU-MIMO operation to MU-MIMO operations. Then, when the base station switches from SU-MIMO operation to MU-MIMO operation, it consults the knowledge pool to predict the degradation in CQI and subtracts them from the known, pre-switching SU-MIMO CQI feedback data for each relevant mobile station to predict the post-switching MU-MIMO CQIs for that mobile station.

Methods, base stations and access terminals for uplink signalling are provided. Resource request channel characteristics such as location in time-frequency, sequence, time slot, are assigned to each access terminal to distinguish their resource requests from the resource requests of other access terminals. Access terminals make requests using a resource request on a resource request channel having the assigned characteristics. The base station can then determine which access terminal transmitted the resource request based on the resource request channel characteristics of the resource request channel upon which the resource request was received. The base station then transmits a response to the request which may for example be a new resource allocation, a default allocation or a renewal of a previous allocation.

A bandwidth of the wireless communication network is divided into a plurality of zones at the base station. Resource blocks are provided at the base station to receive data symbols transmitted in the wireless communication network.

A permutation is performed on the physical basic channel unit to form a logical basic channel unit. A channel is provided to communicatively couple the base station and the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal may send an access grant message and a user identification to the base station to transmit data in the logical basic channel unit.

A method and system are provided having an uplink control structure and a pilot signal having minimal signal overhead for providing channel estimation and data demodulation in a wireless communication network. The uplink control structures enable mobile terminals to communicate with corresponding base stations to perform various functions including obtaining initial system access, submitting a bandwidth request, triggering a continuation of negotiated service, or providing a proposed allocation re-configuration header. A dedicated random access channel is provided to communicatively couple the base station and the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can select a random access signaling identification. A resource request is received at the base station to uplink resource information from the mobile terminal and an initial access information request is received from the mobile terminal to configure the base station connection. Pilot signals with varying density configurations are provided to include low density symbol patterns for multiple contiguous resource blocks and high density symbol patterns for single resource blocks.

A method for implementing coordinated multi-point transmission and reception in a multi-carrier network system including a first serving network node and a second cooperating network node is disclosed. The method includes the steps of configuring a first transmission channel. The first transmission channel is established on the first serving network node. The method includes configuring a second transmission channel. The second transmission channel is established on the second cooperating node. The method includes transmitting control information using the first transmission channel. The control information allocates a resource on the second transmission channel and the second transmission channel is not established on the first serving network node.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems and methods are provided for enabling network MIMO among base stations (BSs) and a mobile station (MS). A BS configure a network MIMO zone based on an indication of at least one other BS eligible for network MIMO. The network MIMO zone is defined by resources having at least time and frequency dimensions allocated for master transmission under control of the BS, or slave transmission under control of the other BS eligible for network MIMO. The BS can transmit data on the network MIMO zone to the MS. Where there is no data to transmit to the MS, the BS may transmit data on the network MIMO zone to another MS. To configure the network MIMO zone, the BS may look up in a table combinations of the eligible BSs associated with the indication.
