摘要:
Methods, systems, apparatus and computer program products are provided to facilitate the configuration and allocation of control information associated with transmissions of a wireless communication system. In systems that utilize multiple component carriers, cross-carrier signaling may be used to carry the control information associated with one component carrier on a different component carrier. By allowing control information messages to share their allocated search spaces, the number of decoding attempts needed to obtain control information can be kept within desirable limits while improving scheduling and resource allocation flexibility. 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.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for allocating resources for Physical Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Indicator Channel (PHICH).
摘要:
A wireless communication network distributes resources for a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) over multiple carriers in accordance with a constraint that limits a number of blind decoding actions required by user equipment (UE). Distribution can entail segregating UE-specific and common search spaces to different monitored carriers. Distribution can entail segregating aggregation levels to different monitored carriers. Distribution can entail segregating a number of decoding candidates for a given aggregation level to different monitored carriers. The distribution can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal, and can be UE-based or per cell-based. The distribution can be static, semi-static or hop with time.
摘要:
Techniques for adjusting transmit power of component carriers in a multi-carrier wireless communication system are disclosed. A base station may determine a plurality of associations relating to one or more component carriers configured for use by a user equipment. The user equipment may receive downlink control information from the base station including one or more power control commands and may adjust a transmit power of its component carriers based on the associations. The user equipment may be notified of the associations either implicitly or explicitly.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitates communicating Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH) information to a user equipment (UE) in which the PCFICH information is specific to a particular component carrier. The PCFICH information for each component carrier can be communicated via an anchor component carrier in order to reduce decoding each PCFICH information for each component carrier. In particular, the PCFICH information can be decoded for an anchor component carrier and PCFICH information for additional carriers can be included in a Multi-Carrier (MC) grant of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
摘要:
Techniques for supporting communication on multiple carriers are disclosed. In one design, a user equipment (UE) is configured with a base carrier and a dependent carrier linked to the base carrier. Data transmission on the dependent carrier is scheduled via a scheduling carrier, which is different from the dependent carrier. The UE receives a scheduling grant on the scheduling carrier and determines whether the scheduling grant is for the base carrier and/or the dependent carrier. The UE communicates (e.g., sends or receives data) on the base carrier and/or the dependent carrier based on the scheduling grant. The scheduling grant may be (i) a separate grant carrying scheduling information for only one carrier, (ii) a common grant carrying scheduling information for both carriers, (iii) a joint grant carrying separate scheduling information for each carrier, or (iv) a composite grant that may be a separate grant, a common grant, or a joint grant.
摘要:
Techniques for supporting communication with carrier extension are described. In one design, a base carrier and at least one segment available to a user equipment (UE) for communication may be determined. At least one operating parameter for the UE may be determined based on a composite bandwidth of the base carrier and the at least one segment. The UE may communicate based on the at least one operating parameter, which may include a resource block group (RBG) size and/or a bitmap used for resource allocation on the downlink, a gap used for resource allocation with frequency hopping on the downlink, a number of hopping bits used for resource allocation with frequency hopping on the uplink, a subband size and/or a number of bandwidth parts used for channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, a sounding reference signal (SRS) bandwidth and/or a SRS configuration for SRS transmission on the uplink, and/or other operating parameters.
摘要:
The described apparatus and methods may include a controller configured to generate a grant for at least one carrier for transmission on one of a plurality of carriers, and generate feedback for transmission on the one of the plurality of carriers.

摘要:
Systems, methods and apparatus for facilitating discontinuous reception are provided. An example of a first method can include providing one or more discontinuous reception cycles respectively corresponding to one or more inactivity periods. During respective awake periods of the one or more discontinuous reception cycles, data can be received on respective ones of one or more frequency carriers. The number and type of the one or more frequency carriers on which data is received can be determined based on the one or more inactivity periods. Further, in some embodiments, in addition to providing discontinuous reception on selected frequency carriers, data can be received according to continuous reception on other frequency carriers, such as the anchor carrier.
