    摘要: A broadband cellular network (BCN) provides a user equipment (UE) access to TVWS resources. The BCN authorizes the UE to access TVWS resources by conveying a mobile device identifier received from the UE, and a cell identifier associated with the UE's coverage area, to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-certified Database and receiving, from the Database, and storing an FCC ID associated with the UE and a set of available TVWS resources. The BCN then conveys, to the UE via a broadband cellular technology, a channel resource information element (CRIE) that includes the cell identifier and identifies the set of available TVWS resources. Subsequently, the BCN re-authorizes the UE to access TVWS resources based on the stored FCC ID and without re-conveying the mobile device identifier to the Database. The BCN further utilizes broadband cellular technology procedures to provide a “virtual” contact verification signal (VCVS) to the UE.

    摘要: A wireless communication device receives at least a section of a subframe from a base station in a wireless communication system. The subframe includes transmission resources multiplexed onto subcarriers of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols. A first set of OFDM symbols includes a reference signal and at least a second set of OFDM symbols includes information other than the reference signal (e.g., channel-coded data). The wireless device determines which OFDM symbols of the subframe constitute the first set of OFDM symbols based on an identifier associated with a base station that transmitted the subframe. The wireless device may then process the reference signal from the OFDM symbols that are determined to be the first set of OFDM symbols. The wireless device may also determine which OFDM symbols of the subframe constitute the second set of OFDM symbols and process non-reference signal information from OFDM symbols of the second set.

    摘要: A base station communicates a positioning reference signal (PRS) to wireless communication devices over a downlink in a wireless communication system by encoding a PRS into a first set of transmission resources, encoding other information into a second set of transmission resources, multiplexing the two sets of resources into a subframe such that the first set of resources is multiplexed into at least a portion of a first set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols based on an identifier associated with the base station and the second set of resources is multiplexed into a second set of OFDM symbols, and transmitting the subframe. Upon receiving the subframe, a wireless device determines which set of transmission resources contains the PRS based on the identifier associated with the base station that transmitted the subframe and processes the set of resources containing the PRS to estimate timing (e.g., time of arrival) information.

    摘要: A base station, which includes a processor and a transmitter, communicates a reference signal to wireless communication devices in a wireless communication system. The processor encodes the reference signal into a first set of transmission resources, encodes other information into a second set of transmission resources, and multiplexes the two sets of transmission resources into a subframe, such that the first set of transmission resources is multiplexed into at least a portion of a first set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols based on an identifier associated with the base station and the second set of transmission resources is multiplexed into a second set of OFDM symbols. The transmitter transmits the subframe to the wireless devices. According to one embodiment, transmission resources for carrying the reference signal may be allocated according to a predetermined allocation, a semi-static allocation, a dynamic allocation, and/or an allocation based on higher layer signaling.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus' of determining radio link quality are disclosed. According to various implementations, information indicating the time-frequency blocks to be monitored by a UE to enable the UE to locate a control channel is determined. The UE receives configuration information regarding resources used by a channel state information reference signal. It also receives configuration information regarding an interference measurement resource, as well as a channel state information reference signal. The channel state information reference signal uses the channel state information reference signal resources. A synchronization condition is determined based on the time frequency blocks to be monitored by the UE, the received channel state information reference signal and the interference measurement resource. The determined synchronization condition is sent to a higher layer.
