Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling reference signal (RS) transmission between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in a wireless communication system. A method includes transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including RS request information. The RS request information includes one or two binary elements based on a DCI format. If an RS transmission triggered by the RS request information is to occur in a same subframe as another RS transmission previously configured to the UE from the base station, the UE transmits the RS triggered by the RS request information.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communications. Configuration information including a resource start offset and information for a transmission type of an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) are transmitted. Downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted to a user equipment (UE) using at least one antenna port of a base station on the EPDCCH using at least one of control channel elements (CCEs). A resource of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is determined based on a first CCE of the at least one of CCE, information in the DCI, and the resource start offset in the configuration information, if the transmission type of the EPDCCH is distributed transmission. A hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) signal is received on the determined resource.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for User Equipment (UE) to concurrently transmit Uplink Control Information (UCI) and data information to a Node B. The Node B can configure the UE to transmit UCI together with data information in a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) or separate from data information in a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH). The UE may also determine whether to transmit UCI together with data information in the PUSCH or separate from data information in the PUCCH based on criteria involving a ratio of PUSCH resources for UCI transmission over the total PUSCH resources, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for the data information, an absolute power difference between PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions, whether the PUSCH transmission uses frequency hopping, and/or whether spatial multiplexing is used for the data transmission.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for a User Equipment (UE) to receive a first type of a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) or a second type of a PDCCH in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) are provided whereby the first type of PDCCH and the second type of PDCCH convey respective Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats containing Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits scrambled with a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). The method includes receiving by the UE a first bitmap associated with a number of TTIs equal to the first bitmap size, wherein each element of the first bitmap indicates whether a TTI is of a first type or of a second type, decoding by the UE only PDCCH of the first type if the TTI is of the first type, and decoding by the UE only PDCCH of the second type if the TTI is of the second type.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting, by a user equipment, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) are provided. The method includes identifying a transmission power of the HARQ-ACK based on transmission power control information in first downlink control information for a primary cell; identifying, for a time division duplexing (TDD), a resource for transmission of the HARQ-ACK based on transmission power control information in second downlink control information with a downlink assignment index (DAI) value greater than 1; and transmitting the HARQ-ACK to a base station based on the resource on the primary cell.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for a User Equipment (UE) to receive control information. A Downlink Control Information (DCI) format to be monitored is identified. An aggregation level is identified based on the identified DCI format. Control information is received based on the identified aggregation level.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting data, acknowledgement information and a channel quality indicator (CQI). The method includes multiplexing the CQI and the data mapping a reference signal on a middle symbol in a slot; multiplexing the acknowledgement information and the multiplexed CQI and data by puncturing the CQI or the data; and transmitting the reference signal, and the multiplexed acknowledgement information, CQI and data, wherein the reference signal is transmitted on the middle symbol in the slot, wherein the acknowledgement information is transmitted on two symbols in the slot, which are directly adjacent to the middle symbol, and wherein the CQI and the data are on symbols in the slot except for the middle symbol.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting and receiving references signals. A method includes receiving a first parameter and a second parameter, which are cell specific parameters; receiving a third parameter, which is a UE specific parameter; receiving a cyclic shift indicator (CSI) indicating a cyclic shift for a sequence and an orthogonal covering code; acquiring the reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), based on the third parameter and the CSI; and transmitting the reference signal on the PUSCH. Sequence hopping and group sequence hopping are disabled for the reference signal, regardless of values of the first parameter and the second parameter, if the third parameter indicates that the sequence hopping and the group sequence hopping are disabled. The sequence hopping includes hopping between two sequences in a group, and the group sequence hopping includes hopping among different groups.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving information symbols in a communication system are provided. A method includes determining a channel quality indicator (CQI); determining two acknowledgement bits in response to data reception; generating a first symbol based on the CQI; generating a second symbol based on the two acknowledgement bits; and transmitting the first symbol and the second symbol. A first code is applied to the second symbol, if the two acknowledgement bits have a first value, a second code is applied to the second symbol, if the two acknowledgement bits have a second value, a third code is applied to the second symbol, if the two acknowledgement bits have a third value, and a fourth code is applied to the second symbol, if the two acknowledgement bits have a fourth value.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a User Equipment (UE) configured to have multiple cells in a DownLink (DL) of a Time Division Duplex (TDD) communication system so as to determine a power of an acknowledgement signal that the UE transmits in a control channel and to determine a number of acknowledgement information bits that the UE multiplexes with data information bits in a data channel. A transmission power of the control signal is determined based on DL Assignment Index (DAI) Information Elements (IEs) in DL Scheduling Assignments (SAs) that the UE detects through multiple transmission time intervals and through the multiple configured DL cells. The number of acknowledgement information bits in the data channel is determined based on a DAI IE of an UpLink (UL) SA associated with the transmission of the data channel.
