Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ) scheduling and coordination in a wireless communication system. As described herein, a network node capable of cooperation with other nodes for communication to respective users can coordinate a cooperation strategy across nodes based on a H-ARQ protocol to be utilized for a given user. In the case of a synchronous H-ARQ protocol, communication can be scheduled as described herein such that initial transmissions to a user are conducted cooperatively and re-transmissions are conducted without inter-node cooperation. In the case of a H-ARQ protocol utilizing persistent assignments, transmission intervals can be calculated and utilized based on application latency requirements, backhaul link latency, or other factors. In the case of an asynchronous H-ARQ protocol, repeat transmissions can be coordinated in a similar manner to initial transmissions or conducted without inter-node cooperation based on latency sensitivity of an associated application.

Techniques for generalized pilot interference cancellation in a communications receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, a residual pilot is cancelled from a post-traffic cancellation signal following initial first-pass pilot cancellation. Residual pilot cancellation is achieved by adding the first-pass cancelled pilot as earlier stored in memory back to the post-traffic cancellation signal, and pilot filtering the resulting signal to generate an improved pilot interference estimate. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, an arbitrary number of iterations may be applied to generate the pilot interference estimate by successively storing each generated pilot interference estimate in memory.

A hybrid class B channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) scheme is discussed which configures one cell-common beamformed CSI-RS resource for beam tracking and another UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS resource for CSI feedback. The cell-common beamformed CSI-RS resource may be transmitted at a longer periodicity and shared by user equipments (UEs) in the cell. The beamforming may be cycled over a set of predefined weights transparent to UE. The UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS may be transmitted at a shorter periodicity and can be activated dynamically to allow resource sharing among multiple UEs. The UEs will report a CSI for the cell-common beamformed CSI-RS resource which provides a quality indicator for the associated cell-common beam and is utilized by the base station to determine the precoding weight for the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS resource. Both resources can be configured with different parameter sets, such as number of ports, codebook type, and CSI reporting parameters.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for dynamic frozen polar codes, for example, for control channels. An exemplary method may be performed at the encoder. The method generally includes encoding a stream of bits using a polar code. The encoding includes selecting a first set of channel indices for encoding information bits. The encoding includes selecting a second set of the channel indices smaller than a channel index for a first information bit for encoding fixed frozen bits. The encoding includes selecting remaining channel indices for dynamic frozen (PCF) bits having values based on one or more of the information bits. The method includes transmitting the encoded stream of bits.

For communication utilizing polar codes, a hybrid automatic repeat request algorithm utilizing incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR) may provide increased throughput by including new data, not based on an original transmission, in a HARQ retransmission. The number of retransmitted bits and new information bits in each HARQ retransmission may be controlled in order to manage a tradeoff between increased throughput and a decreased block error rate (BLER).

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In order to exchange data over a given wireless communication network, a wireless device may first perform a cell acquisition procedure (e.g., to determine cell-specific information such as timing and frequency offsets, bandwidth, control channel formatting, etc.). In some systems, aspects of the timing information may be conveyed with scrambling codes applied to a master information block (MIB). Physical broadcast channel (PBCH) payloads, including MIB transmissions, may be jointly encoded with synchronization signal indices. Bursts of MIB transmissions may thus be decoded without blind decoding while maintaining error protection and low latency that may be necessary to obtain critical system information within the MIB.

A method and system for improving the reception of uplink transmissions in a heterogeneous wireless communication system includes a high-power node such as a macro-cell and a low-power node such as a femto-cell or pico-cell. To address an uplink imbalance where a nearby low-power node power controls a UE such that uplink transmissions of an HSDPA control channel are poorly received at the serving cell, an RNC can instruct the UE to boost its uplink transmit power, remove the UE from soft handover, or disable power control of the UE by the low-power node. To address inter-cell interference, the RNC can limit the UE transmit power and/or enable the victim cell to suppress the interference. Further, a common control channel can be used to power control UEs outside of the convention set of UEs available for power control.

Techniques for supporting distributed MIMO are described. For multi-user distributed MIMO, a cell directs its transmit power toward a UE while reducing interference to UE(s) in neighbor cell(s). For single-user distributed MIMO, multiple cells concurrently send transmissions to a UE. In an aspect, a UE sends channel estimates for serving and non-serving cells to support multi-user distributed MIMO. Each cell may use the channel estimates to select UEs for data transmission and determine precoding vectors to use for data transmission to the selected UEs. In another aspect, a UE sends CQI information for serving and non-serving cells to support single-user distributed MIMO. Each cell may use the CQI information to select UEs for data transmission and determine modulation and coding schemes to use for the selected UEs. In yet another aspect, a UE determines CQI information for a serving cell by taking into account interference nulling by non-serving cells.
