A communications apparatus is provided. A controller module generates a suggested sub-frame pattern describing suggested arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and schedules control signal and/or data transmissions according to the suggested sub-frame pattern. A transceiver module transmits at least a first signal carrying information regarding the suggested sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus. The peer communications apparatus does not schedule data transmissions in the almost blank sub-frame(s).

A channel interleaver comprises a novel constellation-based permutation module. The channel interleaver first receives a plurality of sets of encoded bits generated from an FEC encoder. The encoded bits are distributed into multiple subblocks and each subblock comprises a plurality of adjacent bits. A subblock interleaver interleaves each subblock and outputs a plurality of interleaved bits. The constellation-based permutation module rearranges the interleaved bits and outputs a plurality of rearranged bits. The rearranged bits are supplied to a symbol mapper such that a plurality of consecutively encoded bits in the same set of the encoded bits generated from the FEC encoder is prevented to be mapped onto the same level of bit reliability of a modulation symbol. In addition, the plurality of adjacent bits of each subblock is also prevented to be mapped onto the same level of bit reliability to achieve constellation diversity and to improve decoding performance.

A method of uplink power control in a wireless OFDMA system is provided. A serving base station first configures a fast feedback channel by transmitting a feedback allocation message to a mobile station. The mobile station then reports downlink channel information via the allocated fast feedback channel. Based on the reported downlink channel information, the serving base station estimates uplink channel quality and thereby detects a channel variation and generates an uplink power adjustment message that delivers a power offset to adjust the transmitting power level of the mobile station. In one novel aspect, the uplink power adjustment message also comprises feedback allocation information that re-configures the fast feedback channel without extra signaling overhead. In addition, the novel power adjustment message eliminates redundant information such that it is transmitted via a minimum resource unit without requiring extra resource.

Sounding mechanism for LTE-A systems under carrier aggregation is provided. A UE receives an uplink or downlink grant transmitted from an eNB over a primary carrier in a multi-carrier LTE-A system. The UE determines indicated carrier(s) and detects a triggering condition for aperiodic sounding transmission in the grant. The UE then selects UE-specific sounding reference signal (SRS) parameters. Finally, the UE transmits an aperiodic SRS (ap-SRS) over the indicated carrier(s) using the selected UE-specific SRS parameters. In one embodiment, the uplink or downlink grant is transmitted via a PDCCH carrying various DCI formats. Each DCI format contains a carrier indicator field (CIF) that indicates which carrier is used for ap-SRS transmission if cross-carrier scheduling is enabled. In another embodiment, DCI format 3/3A is transmitted via a PDCCH carrying a plurality of information fields, each field indicates if the UE should enable ap-SRS in a particular carrier.
摘要:
Two preamble partition schemes are provided for flexible network deployment and efficient utilization of limited cell identification resources in a wireless network. In a soft partition scheme, the entire preamble sequences are partitioned into several configurable non-overlapping subsets, and each subset is associated with a corresponding cell type. In a hybrid partition scheme, a combination of fixed and configurable subsets is used for preamble partition. The partitioning information is carried in a broadcasting channel broadcasted from base stations to mobile stations. In one embodiment, after a mobile station performs scanning and synchronization with a first base station, it derives the cell type of the first base station from cell identification and partitioning information. The mobile station completes ranging and network entry with the first base station if the cell type is preferred, and starts to perform scanning and synchronization with a second base station if the cell type is non-preferred.

A method of power control message indexing is provided in a wireless Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) network. A base station configures fast feedback channels (FFBCHs) and mobile stations report downlink channel information via the configured FFBCHs. Based on the received channel information, the base station estimates uplink channel quality and detects any channel variation. In response to uplink channel variation, the base station delivers power offsets to adjust the transmit power levels of the mobile stations. In one advantageous aspect, the power control commands for mobile stations are aggregated and the indexing scheme of the power control commands is implicitly based on the configured FFBCHs. For example, if a FFBCH is located at a first location in an uplink frame, then a following power control command in response to the FFBCH is located at a second location in a downlink frame, the second location is located after the first location with a predefined fixed delay time.
