摘要:
Techniques for sending hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for stransmissions received via a plurality of aggregated component carriers are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receive a plurality of codewords via a plurality of component carriers and decodes the codewords. The component carriers are grouped into a plurality of groups, and the WTRU may generate a bundled positive/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for each group of component carriers. The WTRU may be assigned a plurality of uplink control channel resources and may implement a channel selection scheme for indicating the ACK/NACKs. The WTRU selects one of the uplink control channel resources, and sets the HARQ feedback based the ACK/NACKs or bundled ACK/NACKs in a way that a different uplink control channel resource is selected and HARQ feedback bits are set differently based on the ACK/NACKs or bundled ACK/NACKs. Each physical uplink control channel (PUCCHs) may be mapped to a particular antenna.

A method and apparatus are described for allocating resources for an enhanced physical hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) channel (E-PHICH). A subset of an enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) may be allocated for use by the E-PHICH. The E-PDCCH may be defined by at least one of enhanced resource element groups (eREGs) and enhanced control channel elements (eCCEs). Each eCCE may be formed by grouping a plurality of eREGs. Each eREG may contain at least one resource element (RE). Alternatively, a subset of eREGs may be allocated as E-PHICH resources. E-PDCCH physical resource block (PRB) pairs may be selected as a resource for the E-PHICH. An indication of the number of the eCCEs may be broadcast to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU).

A method and apparatus for selecting or reselecting a home Node-B (HNB), (i.e., a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell), among cells having colliding physical layer signals are disclosed. Once the identity (ID) of an HNB is determined, measurements needed to support cell selection or reselection are performed. A broadcast channel that broadcasts an HNB ID is detected and synchronized to, and information obtained from the broadcast channel is forwarded to a non-access stratum (NAS). The broadcasted HNB ID is checked against an HNB white-list provided by the NAS to determine whether the HNB is suitable for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU selects the HNB to camp on, or changes from a cell currently serving the WTRU to the HNB if it is determined to be more suitable than the current serving cell.

Methods and systems for transmitting uplink control information and feedback are disclosed for carrier aggregation systems. A user equipment device may be configured to transmit uplink control information and other feedback for several downlink component carriers using one or more uplink component carriers. The user equipment device may be configured to transmit such data using a physical uplink control channel rather than a physical uplink shared channel. The user equipment device may be configured to determine the uplink control information and feedback data that is to be transmitted, the physical uplink control channel resources to be used to transmit the uplink control information and feedback data, and how the uplink control information and feedback data may be transmitted over the physical uplink control channel.

Methods and apparatus for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions are disclosed. A base station may precode wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-specific reference signals and data that are transmitted to a WTRU using a randomly selected precoder. The precoder may be selected based on a predefined precoder selection sequence or by the base station. A different precoder may be applied to different resource blocks (RBs). In addition, a large delay cyclic delay diversity (CDD) or discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading may be applied on the WTRU-specific reference signals and the data. For heterogeneous deployed antennas, spatial diversity gain is achieved by dynamically scheduling resources between transmission points. A hopping scheme may be applied across the transmission points as the resources are dynamically partitioned between the transmission points. A different randomly selected precoder may be applied to each RB transmitted from a different transmission point.

Embodiments contemplate methods and devices that may select uplink (UL) transmission resources for transmitting uplink control information (UCI). A determination may be made that UCI should be transmitted. A physical channel resource for transmission of the UCI may be selected and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WRTU) may transmit the UCI over a physical uplink channel capable of supporting multiple component carriers using the selected physical channel resource. The selection of the physical channel resource may include at least one of: selecting a pre-determined UL component carrier (CC) for uplink transmission on a physical uplink control shared channel (PUSCH) upon a PUSCH resource being available in a subframe, or, selecting a pre-determined UL CC for uplink transmission on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) capable of UCI transmission in the subframe upon a PUSCH resource not being available in the subframe.

摘要:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives a downlink transmission from an eNodeB including a plurality of spatial layers transmitted to a plurality of WTRUs paired for multi-user MIMO. The WTRU decodes the downlink transmission based on a corresponding WTRU-specific reference signal. WTRU-specific reference signals are multiplexed using a frequency and code division multiplexing. WTRU-specific reference signals for different sub-group of antenna ports are multiplexed onto different subcarriers in a frequency domain and the WTRU-specific reference signals of the same sub-group of antennas ports are multiplied by an orthogonal cover code. The resource elements used for the WTRU-specific reference signals on antenna ports in one sub-group may be muted on antenna ports in another sub-group. A WTRU may transmit the uplink demodulation reference signal without precoding. The number of resource blocks allocated for the demodulation reference signal may be greater than the number of resource blocks allocated for the payload.
