Abstract:
Technology for decreasing latency for contention based scheduling request (SR) transmission is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can process, for transmission to an enhanced node B (eNB), a DeModulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) that is randomly selected from a set of configured DM-RS sequences or configured by the eNB. The UE can select an SR transmission resource as a function of a DM-RS sequence index or cell identification (ID) based on a predefined mapping rule. The UE can process, for transmission to the eNB, a SR message having a buffer status report (BSR) and UE identification (UE-ID) information on the selected SR transmission resource.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments herein relate to an interleaver based on usable tones of a resource allocation. The interleaver is selected according to the number of usable tones and may be selected for each resource allocation to accommodate the variance in usable tones. The selected codebit interleaver or symbol interleaver may be a block interleaver in which bits are sequentially read in row by row and read out column by column, such that any unfilled entries in the block interleaver are skipped.
Abstract:
Techniques for resource block allocation in a multi-user MIMO High Efficiency WLAN system are provided. Specifically, teachings that when taken alone or together, provide a device or a group of devices with an improved resource allocation for the reduction of usable tone waste, are presented. The present disclosure includes a system that provides a user with a technique allocating data tones prior to the encapsulation unit or overhead tones on a resource block unit. Further, the total allocated bandwidth can be reduced prior resource allocation to overcome modulation and coding scheme downgrading caused by severe puncturing. Alternatively, only band edge basic resource blocks are reduced to account for overhead tones which largely reside on band edges.
Abstract:
Technology for an eNodeB to communicate with a user equipment (UE) using an extended control channel within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The eNodeB multiplexes DM-RSs for different antenna ports on an OFDM symbol and transmits the OFDM symbol using an extended PDCCH (xPDCCH).
