摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) or cooperative multipoint (CoMP) communication in a wireless communication system. As described herein, multiple cells, such as a serving cell and an auxiliary cell, can cooperate to conduct communication with one or more associated terminals. In one example described herein, an associated core network can exchange data and/or control signaling with a single cell communicating with a given terminal, which can then tunnel respective data and/or control signaling to other cell(s). By doing so, CoMP communication can be made transparent to the core network and can be achieved without requiring changes to the network. As further described herein, a terminal can exchange Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) assignments and/or other information exclusively with the serving cell in addition to or in place of other information exchanged with a serving cell and/or an auxiliary cell.

Techniques for transmitting data with short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a serving base station may send a message to a terminal to trigger short-term interference mitigation. In response, the terminal may send a message to request at least one interfering base station to reduce interference on at least one resource. Each interfering base station may determine a transmit power level to be used for the at least one resource and may send a pilot at this transmit power level. The terminal may estimate the channel quality of the at least one resource based on at least one pilot received from the at least one interfering base station. The terminal may send information indicative of the estimated channel quality to the serving base station. The serving base station may send a data transmission on the at least one resource to the terminal.

Techniques for transmitting data with short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a first station (e.g., a base station or a terminal) may send a first message to at least one interfering station to request reduction of interference on at least one resource. The first station may send the first message in anticipation of receiving data on the at least one resource. An interfering station may receive the first message from the first station and may reduce interference on the at least one resource by reducing its transmit power and/or by steering its power in a direction different from the first station. The first station may thereafter receive data from a second station on the at least one resource. The techniques may be used for data transmission on the forward and reverse links.

A hierarchical cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is provided that enables CRC appending and detection. A message that includes a first message portion and a second message portion is transmitted to two or more receivers. The receivers are not aware of the first message portion. One of the receivers can be aware of the second message portion of the message. Each portion of the message can be encoded with a CRC in order to provide protection. The receiver that is aware of the second message portion is provided a higher level of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) protection than the receivers that are not aware of the second message portions.

Techniques for transmitting data with persistent interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. A station (e.g., a base station or a terminal) may observe high interference and may send a request to reduce interference to interfering stations. The request may be valid for a time period covering multiple response periods. Each interfering station may grant or dismiss the request in each response period, may dismiss the request by transmitting at full power, and may grant the request by transmitting at lower than full power. The station may receive a response from each interfering station indicating grant or dismissal of the request by that interfering station in each response period. The station may estimate SINR based on the response received from each interfering station and may exchange data with another station based on the estimated SINR. Persistent interference mitigation may reduce signaling overhead and improve resource utilization and performance.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate blanking on portions of bandwidth utilized by communicating devices that are dominantly interfered by a disparate device in wireless communications networks. The portions of bandwidth can relate to critical data, such as control data, and one or more of the communicating devices can request that the dominantly interfering device blank on one or more of the portions. The communicating devices can subsequently transmit data over the blanked portions free of the dominant interference. Additionally, the dominantly interfering device can request reciprocal blanking from the one or more communicating devices.

Techniques for transmitting and detecting for overhead channels and signals in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, a base station may blank (i.e., not transmit) at least one overhead transmission on certain resources in order to detect for the at least one overhead transmission of another base station. In one design, the base station may (i) send the overhead transmission(s) on a first subset of designated resources and (ii) blank the overhead transmission(s) on a second subset of the designated resources. The designated resources may be resources on which the overhead transmission(s) are sent by macro base stations. The base station may detect for the overhead transmission(s) from at least one other base station on the second subset of the designated resources. In another aspect, the base station may transmit the overhead transmission(s) on additional resources different from the designated resources.

Techniques for sending control information in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, a hierarchical control channel structure may be used, a first group of control channels may be sent in a low reuse segment, and a second group of control channels may be sent in a non-reuse segment. In another aspect, a first control channel is sent in the low reuse segment and is used to configure a second control channel sent in the non-reuse segment so that the second control channel can be reliably received in dominant interference scenarios. In one design, a first base station sends a first message on a first control channel to a user equipment (UE). The UE sends a second message to an interfering base station to request it to reduce interference to a second control channel. The first base station sends control information on the second control channel to the UE.
