摘要:
Communication in a dominant interference scenario may be supported by performing inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC). According to certain aspects of ICIC, resource coordination/partitioning may be performed to allocate resources to a serving Node B located near the vicinity of a strong interfering Node B. The interfering Node B may avoid transmitting on the allocated/protected resources, but transmissions from the interfering Node B on resources not allocated to the serving Node B (i.e., unprotected) may cause significant interference on cell-specific reference signal (CRS) tones of the serving Node B. Therefore, if the CRS tones of the unallocated/unprotected resources are used, performance degradation may result to various operations of the serving Node B. Therefore, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a UE receiver in utilizing resource partitioning information (RPI) for performing CRS processing in a heterogeneous network (HetNet).

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.

In one aspect, a method to enhance coverage in a heterogeneous wireless network wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes generating a reference signal indicating a plurality of transmit antenna ports and generating modulation symbols. Modulation symbols are assigned to each of the plurality of transmit antenna ports, in accordance with a spatial diversity coding scheme for the plurality of transmit antenna ports. At least one of the modulation symbols assigned to at least one of the plurality of transmit antenna ports is muted prior to transmission in accordance with the spatial diversity coding scheme. The non-muted modulation symbols and the reference signal are transmitted on the other of the plurality of transmit antenna ports.
摘要:
A method of wireless communication includes generating a list of cells for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) decoding. The method also includes allocating memory for decoding and cancelling a subset of cells from the generated cell list. The method further includes storing information related to subsets of cells from the generated list in the allocated memory during different time periods. The allocated memory is sufficient for attempting, at each time period, decoding of each subset of cells and cancelling of decoded cells in each subset. The method further includes cycling through the generated cell list by processing each subset of the cell list during the different time periods.
摘要:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to identifying whether an apparatus (e.g., base station, access point, etc.) is transmitting using a CRS based transmission scheme or a UE-RS based transmission scheme. Such detection may be necessary for PDSCH interference cancellation (IC) of a neighboring cell since a UE may not know which transmission scheme is used by the neighboring cell. For instance, the UE may know the transmission scheme of the serving cell, but the UE may not know the transmission scheme of a neighboring non-serving cell. As such, aspects of the disclosure provide for a blind detection algorithm to identify or determine a transmission mode or transmission scheme of a neighboring cell to then apply interference cancellation (IC) to an interfering signal received from the neighboring cell.
摘要:
A method for communicating in an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) network using common reference signal (CRS) resources associated with different interference levels due to resource partitioning is disclosed. Signals are received from an eNodeB indicating a subset of CRS resources for radio link monitoring (RLM) and/or reference signal received power (RSRP) measuring. The subset of CRS resources includes the CRS resources expected to have lower interference from the interfering eNodeBs. RLM and/or RSRP measurements are performed based on the indicated subset.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate creating a unified format that can accommodate various MIMO modes. The unified format can employed with a single payload size that includes uplink control information for each available MIMO mode. By packaging the payload with uplink control information related to each MIMO mode, the uplink control information can be utilized with any suitable or available MIMO mode.
摘要:
In a system of MIMO communications in a wireless network, a number of wireless units are logically divided into a plurality of user groups, through operation of a semi-orthogonal user selection sub-system. For example, the user selection sub-system may implement a heuristic user selection algorithm based on near-orthogonality. Each user group is assigned a discrete transmission channel, which may be orthogonally defined in terms of frequency, time, or code. Data is transmitted over the channels (e.g., from network base stations) in a coherently coordinated manner, according to a zero-forcing beamforming operation. The system may be configured for operation in a time/frequency selective manner, e.g., over time/frequency selective fading channels. The wireless units may be allocated to the time/frequency slots based on prioritization of channel strength and considerations of fairness, in conjunction with the application of a semi-orthogonal user selection algorithm.
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.
