摘要:
Mechanism to receive control signals transmitted from a base station (210, 510, 910) to the user equipment (220, 520, 920) in a manner that minimizes power consumption on the user equipment (220, 520, 920) while still maintaining some acceptable level of performance is described. The user equipment (220, 520, 920) periodically measures the signal quality of component carriers used by the base station (210, 510, 910) and requests control signaling (anchor) carrier reselection. Either a single component carrier can be chosen if the single carrier has sufficient quality or multiple component carriers can be selected when the quality of the single quality is low. The anchor carrier reselection may also be triggered to manage the system as a whole. For fast moving user equipments (220, 520, 920), anchor carrier hopping pattern can be provided to increase robustness and reduce reselection signaling overhead.

A terminal with transmitter and receiver operates in a multi-carrier communication system and receives at least two downlink carriers. One or more timing advance commands are received, each associated with a group of one or more uplink carriers, each group being associated with one or more of the received downlink carriers. For each downlink carrier associated with one of the groups of uplink carriers, one is selected as a reference downlink carrier; the reference downlink carrier timing is ascertained; and a transmission time period is ascertained based on the timing of the downlink reference carrier and an offset specified by the timing advance command associated with the group of uplink carriers. The transmission time period comprises a start time and a stop time. Transmission is initiated at an earliest transmission start time of the ascertained transmission time periods and is ceased at a latest ascertained stop time.

In one embodiment, a method of scheduling transmissions for a base station in a multi-carrier wireless communication network comprises scheduling initial transmissions of data packets for one or more users on a first carrier, without reserving scheduling capacity on the first carrier for retransmissions. Doing so increases the scheduled capacity of the first carrier for initial transmissions. The method further includes scheduling retransmissions, as needed, for given ones of the data packets on one or more second carriers. The method allows more traffic to be scheduled on the first carrier, meaning that multi-carrier transmissions are less frequently needed to convey all of the traffic targeted to one or more receivers. Those receivers therefore spend more time operating with a reduced receiver bandwidth (as compared to the bandwidth required for receiving more than one carrier), which reduces operating power.

According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus provide a reduced search space for blindly decoding a message included in a signal received at a communication receiver, where the message has an unknown format. Improving blind detection efficiency in this manner offers numerous advantages, including but not limited to lower power consumption through reduced processing overhead, and lower power consumption through expanded sleep opportunities. As a non-limiting example, the communication receiver comprises a mobile station configured for operation according to Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards, as promulgated by the 3GPP for E-UTRA systems, where the mobile station is configured to reduce a search space of DCI message decoding by determining message format likelihoods and blindly decoding a received DCI message based on the message format likelihoods.

Embodiments herein relate to a method in a transceiver (400) for enabling control of interference cancelling in the transceiver (400). The transceiver (400) is in a first decoding mode. The transceiver (400) stores a received signal comprising a data block. The transceiver (400) decodes the received signal using the first decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block. When an event is triggered, the transceiver (400) retrieves the stored signal. The transceiver (400) decodes the retrieved signal using a second decoding mode, thereby obtaining the data block. The transceiver (400) controls the interference cancelling in the transceiver (400), based on the data block decoded using the first decoding mode and the data block decoded using the second decoding mode.
摘要:
In one or more aspects, the method and apparatus presented herein consider corresponding uplink resource allocations when allocating ARQ signal powers. In particular, in at least one embodiment, more power is allocated to the acknowledgment (“ack”) signal(s) corresponding to user equipment (UE) transmissions that involve larger allocations of uplink resources. For the example context of an LTE network, an eNodeB “boosts” its ack signaling power for acknowledging UE transmissions associated with larger uplink bandwidth allocations. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE is configured to bias its ARQ signal evaluations, to bias its ack/nack decision determinations to favor the ack decision, at least for those acks associated with transmissions that used greater resource allocations.

The present invention comprises methods and arrangements for selecting a CQI value based on an estimated or actual transport block size. This is achieved according to an embodiment by mapping the SIR value to a CQI value based on an indication of the expected transport block size to be received by the receiver.
摘要:
A user equipment (UE) located in an extended-range area of a neighbor base station cell in a communication network, such as a low-power cell in a heterogeneous network, can inform its serving base station, such as a macro cell overlying the low-power cell, of the UE's capability of canceling interference from other cells' transmissions. That capability information enables the serving cell to decide based on more information whether range extension of the neighbor cell is beneficial for a number of UEs, and can result in more efficient radio resource utilization.

A method of determining a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) includes descrambling a control channel, decoding control messages included in the control channel wherein the decoded control messages include control bits and received cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits, generating a CRC from the decoded control bits, determining the RNTI from the generated CRC and received CRC and utilizing the RNTI for decoding subsequent subframes.
