Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reporting of channel quality indication in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) wireless systems.
Abstract:
Discontinuous reception (DRX) operation may be utilized to maintain connection with user equipment (UE) by increasing the effective control channel transmission periodicity. UEs may be configured with a compatible control channel transmission periodicity such that multiple UEs may share a resource in a time-division-multiplexed manner using DRX offsets and periodicity, effectively extending control channel transmission periodicity through resource overloading.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided for separating control transmissions and data transmissions within the coverage area of a plurality of transmission/reception points or points that are geographically displaced, the plurality of points comprising a macro node and a plurality of remote radio heads (RRHs) coupled to the macro node. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions in the macro node/RRH configuration may allow UEs to be associated with one set of transmission points for data transmissions and the same set or a different set of transmission points for common control signaling. Separating control transmissions and data transmissions may also allow for faster reconfiguration of antenna ports used for UE data transmission compared with reconfiguration via a handover process.
Abstract:
In a wireless communications system wherein control-less subframes share a common carrier with subframes that include control signaling, a method performed by a base station may include receiving a first indication from a network entity to maintain a designated set of subframes on a common carrier devoid of designated downlink control signals. The method may further include providing a second indication in a wireless transmission to a mobile entity, the second indication enabling identification of subframes in the designated set (i.e., the control-less subframes) by the mobile entity. In turn, identification of control-less subframes by the mobile entity prior to decoding the subframes may enable a more efficient control of blind decoding operations at the mobile entity and reduce blind decoding operations required for the mobile entity to decode downlink control information.
Abstract:
Techniques for acknowledging data transmissions in a multi-carrier wireless communication network are disclosed. In one aspect, a UE determines a number of acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) bits for a data transmission on one more component carriers (CCs) based on information obtained from a grant. The grant may be a downlink grant or an uplink grant, and the information obtained may include a number of CCs scheduled for data transmission and/or identifiers of the scheduled CCs. The UE may determine the number of ACK/NACK bits for acknowledging the data transmission based on the number of scheduled CCs and the identifier of each scheduled CC.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for indicating downlink assignments to a user equipment (UE). According to certain aspects, the techniques generally involve generating a downlink assignment index (DAI) indicating a number of assigned downlink transmissions for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate using multiple component carriers and transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) containing the DAI to the user equipment (UE) in a frequency division duplexing (FDD) subframe in which uplink and downlink transmissions may take place at the same time on different carrier frequencies.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus maintains at least one PHR trigger for triggering communication of a PHR for a plurality of component carriers. In addition, the apparatus communicates the PHR for at least one of the component carriers upon the at least one PHR trigger being triggered. The communicated PHR may be an aggregated PHR that includes power headroom information on the PCC and activated SCCs. The communicated PHR may further include an index associating information in the PHR to a corresponding component carrier. The communicated PHR may further include information indicating use of a PUSCH reference for computing the PHR for the at least one of the component carriers on which there is no PUSCH transmission.
