摘要:
Techniques for sending control information to support operation on multiple component carriers (CCs) are disclosed. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with multiple CCs for carrier aggregation. The multiple CCs may be associated with different uplink-downlink configurations and may have different downlink subframes and uplink subframes. In one aspect, uplink control information (UCI) for a secondary CC (SCC) may be sent on a primary CC (PCC) based on a UCI transmission timeline for the PCC (and not based on a UCI transmission timeline for the SCC). For example, a downlink grant for the SCC may be sent based on a downlink grant transmission timeline for the PCC. In another aspect, uplink grants for an SCC may be sent on the PCC based on an uplink grant transmission timeline for the PCC (and not based on an uplink grant transmission timeline for the SCC).

摘要:
Techniques for supporting communication on multiple carriers are disclosed. In one design, a user equipment (UE) is configured with a base carrier and a dependent carrier linked to the base carrier. Data transmission on the dependent carrier is scheduled via a scheduling carrier, which is different from the dependent carrier. The UE receives a scheduling grant on the scheduling carrier and determines whether the scheduling grant is for the base carrier and/or the dependent carrier. The UE communicates (e.g., sends or receives data) on the base carrier and/or the dependent carrier based on the scheduling grant. The scheduling grant may be (i) a separate grant carrying scheduling information for only one carrier, (ii) a common grant carrying scheduling information for both carriers, (iii) a joint grant carrying separate scheduling information for each carrier, or (iv) a composite grant that may be a separate grant, a common grant, or a joint grant.
摘要:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for determining and reporting channel information feedback for multi-carrier operation. In one aspect, channel information feedback parameters may be determined jointly across component carriers, and channel information feedback reports may be generated and reported individually per component carrier.

Techniques for supporting fallback operation in a multi-carrier communication system are described. In one aspect, a UE may determine at least one first downlink control information (DCI) format to monitor on a first carrier. The UE may monitor for the first DCI format(s) on the first carrier to detect DCI sent to the UE. The UE may receive a reconfiguration message related to communication on a plurality of carriers by the UE with cross-carrier signaling, and may determine at least one second DCI format to monitor on the first carrier based on the reconfiguration message. The UE may monitor for the first DCI format(s) and the second DCI format(s) on the first carrier after receiving the reconfiguration message.

Systems and methods for resource allocation for an uplink control channel for a user equipment (UE) using multiple transmit antennas in a wireless communication network are disclosed. A plurality of orthogonal resources for use by the UE on the uplink control channel is selected. Control information is transmitted from the UE on the uplink control channel on the plurality of orthogonal resources with transmit diversity.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate selecting an uplink carrier for random access within a wireless environment having multiple carriers. Selection of an uplink carrier for random access can be randomly selected from a set of available uplink carriers. Additionally, the uplink carrier for random access can be selected based upon which uplink carrier is paired with an anchor carrier. Further, the uplink carrier for random access can be identified based upon a bandwidth related to the user equipment (UE). Reference signals can also be employed in order to identify an uplink carrier to perform random access.
摘要:
The described aspects include methods and apparatus for aggregating carriers over a backhaul link between a relay and an evolved Node B (eNB). A first set of subframes of at least a first carrier of a plurality of carriers configured for communicating with an eNB over a backhaul link can be determined. A second set of subframes of at least a second carrier of the plurality of carriers configured for backhaul link communications is also determined, wherein the second set of subframes are different from the first set of subframes. Data received over a plurality of access link carriers can then be communicated to the eNB over the first carrier and the second carrier based at least on the first set of subframes and the second set of subframes.
摘要:
Techniques for sending ACK/NACK information in a multi-carrier wireless communication network are disclosed. In one aspect, a plurality of ACK/NACK transmission techniques are selectively employed by a multi-carrier user equipment (UE) to reduce the number of bits of ACK/NACK information to send and/or increase the number of payload bits available for sending the ACK/NACK information. The ACK/NACK transmission techniques may include an orthogonal sequence reduction technique, a channel selection technique, a spatial bundling technique, a carrier bundling technique, and/or a subframe bundling technique. The ACK/NACK transmission techniques may be prioritized based on the number of carriers on which data transmissions are received, a payload size available for carrying ACK/NACK information, and/or other factors. The multi-carrier UE can utilize different ACK/NACK transmission techniques in connection with different subsets of its configured carriers.
摘要:
A wireless communication system implementing Carrier Aggregation (CA) allows activation and deactivation of certain component carriers. Transmit power on an uplink component carrier being reactivated may be controlled by predetermining appropriate power control parameters to be used upon reactivation. The predetermined power control parameters may depend on a last known power control state of the deactivated component carrier or may be reset to apply an initial low power state.
