Abstract:
A method (300, 500) and apparatus (200) that transmits and/or receives positioning reference signals in a wireless communication network using a mixture of cyclic prefix types. The method may include configuring (320) subframes in the wireless communication network as multicast broadcast single frequency network subframes. The method may include configuring (330) subframes in the wireless communication network as positioning subframes including positioning reference signals. The method may include determining (340) whether all of the positioning subframes are multicast broadcast single frequency network subframes. The method may include generating (350) extended cyclic prefix positioning reference signals for all of the positioning subframes if all of the positioning subframes are multicast broadcast single frequency network subframes.
Abstract:
A method, a user communication device, and a base station are disclosed. A transceiver 302 may receive a serving transmission from a serving base station. A processor 304 may make a status determination of an autonomous muting status of a neighbor base station based on the serving transmission.
Abstract:
A method, a user communication device, and a base station are disclosed. A network interface 260 may synchronize a serving positioning reference transmission 116 with the coordinated network 100. A transceiver 240 may send the serving positioning reference transmission 116 in a set of positioning subframes. A processor 210 may mute the serving positioning reference transmission 116 according to a muting pattern optimized to allow the user communication device 102 to receive a maximum number of neighbor positioning reference transmissions 118 for the set of positioning subframes.
Abstract:
A method (300) and apparatus (200) for signaling uplink scheduling information is disclosed. The method may include determining (320) whether an enhanced general packet radio service 2-B mobile device and an enhanced general packet radio service non-2-B mobile device are assigned to a same uplink time slot. The method may also include limiting (330) downlink communications to Ap and B radio link control block families when sending packet data to the enhanced general packet radio service 2-B mobile device, if the enhanced general packet radio service 2-B mobile device and the enhanced general packet radio service non-2-B mobile device are assigned to the same uplink time slot.
Abstract:
A method, a mobile system, and a user device for determining a delay spread are disclosed. A memory 306 may store a compound test value based on a multiburst history. The multiburst history may be a set of power delay profile decisions. A processor 304 may create a short power delay profile channel estimate and a long power delay profile channel estimate. The processor 304 may select a chosen power delay profile channel estimate based on the compound test value.
Abstract:
A method, a network base station, and a user communication device for transmitting data on an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access carrier are disclosed. A network base station 106 may have a common antenna set 110 to transmit on a subcarrier via a first effective channel able to be constructed based on at least one common reference symbol. The network base station 106 may have a dedicated antenna set 112 to transmit on a subcarrier via a second effective channel able to be estimated based on at least one dedicated reference symbol. The user equipment device 102 may demodulate a data transmission using the at least one common reference symbol and the at least one dedicated reference symbol.
