摘要:
A method of configuring user equipment in a wireless communication network to operate to receive a dynamically changing coordinated multipoint transmission from one or more transmission point in said network, a computer program product and network control node operable to perform that method. The method comprises: determining, for the user equipment, a set of two or more transmission points from which the user equipment may receive a transmission and allocating them to a coordinated multipoint transmission measurement set associated with the user equipment; allocating a set of modes of operation of the transmission points in the coordinated multipoint transmission measurement set for communication with the user equipment; associating a codepoint to each mode in the allocated set of modes of operation of the set of transmission points to form a codebook; and informing the user equipment of the codebook. Aspects and embodiments described recognise that without significantly increasing the number of bits required in a downlink control information message, dynamic switching among some preselected or preconfigured coordinated multipoint transmission schemes can be efficiently supported within a network. The configuration of code points interpreted by user equipment may be set on a user equipment by user equipment basis and can be preconfigured by RRC signalling semi-statically.

A method may include determining a metric for at least one physical resource block of a wireless cellular network in at least a one cell. Each physical resource block may include a set of frequencies, and/or the metric may be based on interference on the at least one physical resource block in the at least one cell. A determination of whether the metric violates a metric threshold may be made, and an overload indicator may be sent to at least one other cell if the metric violates the metric threshold.

The present invention provides a method for mitigating outages in wireless communication systems using feedback for control channels formed by aggregating groups of resource blocks or resource elements, the method. One embodiment of the method includes generating control channel feedback at user equipment. The control channel feedback is generated using one or more measurements performed on signals received at the user equipment over a downlink control channel at a current aggregation level. The method also includes transmitting the control channel feedback over an uplink channel and using this information for the optimal implementation of Cell range expansion by the network.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for controlling service quality of data communications in a wireless network in which quality of service control for voice over internet protocol packets is provided on a downlink shared channel. A method is provided for a wireless communications between at least a first and a second service user. The method comprises prioritizing transmission of voice over internet protocol packets for the first and second service users over a shared downlink channel based on a first end-to-end delay that the first service user experiences relative to a second end-to-end delay that the second service user experiences. For example, such a priority adaptation may provide quality of service control for voice over internet protocol over a high-speed downlink packet access channel based on an end-to-end delay that a mobile-to-mobile user may be currently experiencing relative to a mobile-to-land user. In this way, a scheduler at a base station of a communications system may maximize use of voice over internet protocol capacity while maintaining an acceptable level of end-to-end delay for different users of mobile stations.

Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method and apparatus for virtual sectorization using an active antenna array. Embodiments of the apparatus include a transmitter for providing signals to an active antenna array. The signals cause the active antenna array to transmit a first reference signal to a first sector indicated to user equipment within the first sector by a sector identifier. The signals also cause the active antenna array to transmit a plurality of second reference signals into a corresponding plurality of second virtual sectors that overlap the first sector. The apparatus also includes a scheduler for scheduling transmission to user equipment based on feedback generated by the user equipment using the first reference signal or the second reference signals.

The invention proposes a method of and apparatus for a pre-coded physical downlink control channel reference signal and blind decoding. In a design of the reference signal, the demodulation reference signal is used for demodulating physical downlink control channel signaling, wherein the physical downlink control channel signaling is embedded in a physical downlink shared channel, an the demodulation reference signal is included in a control channel element. In a method for a user equipment to perform blind decoding, the user equipment obtains blind decoding indication information from a base station, the blind decoding indication information including an indication of a search space in which the user equipment performs the blind decoding, wherein the search space includes a control channel element of a traditional physical downlink control channel and further includes a control channel element of a pre-coded physical downlink control channel; and performs blind decoding for the number of searches indicated by the blind decoding indication information in the search space indicated by the blind decoding indication information, according to the blind decoding indication information.

The present invention provides a method of transforming pre-coded signals for transmission over an air interface in a MIMO wireless communication system. Embodiments of the method may include applying, at a transmitter, a transform matrix and a pre-coding matrix to a signal prior to transmitting the signal using a plurality of antennas deployed in a first antenna configuration. The pre-coding matrix is selected from a codebook defined for a second antenna configuration deployed in a non-scattering environment. The transform matrix is defined based on the first antenna configuration and a scattering environment associated with the transmitter.
