摘要:
A media converter is coupled to an optical link terminal and a plurality of coax network units in a cable plant. The media converter receives packets from the optical link terminal via an optical link. The packets include first packets addressed to coax network units on the cable plant and second packets addressed to network units outside of the cable plant. The media converter forwards the first packets to the coax network units on the cable plant via one or more coax links, such that the first packets are forwarded to each coax network unit on the cable plant, and discards the second packets.

A coax line terminal includes a first media access controller (MAC) corresponding to a first group of coax network units and a second MAC corresponding to a second group of coax network units. The coax line terminal also includes a first physical media entity (PME), coupled to the first MAC, to generate signals for transmission in a first frequency band, and a second PME, coupled to the first and second MACs, to generate signals for transmission in a second frequency band. The coax line terminal further includes a PME multiplexer to control access of the first and second MACs to the second PME.
摘要:
A coax line terminal coupled to a plurality of coax network units by a coax plant uses time-division duplexing to communicate with the coax network units. In the coax line terminal, a control signal is repeatedly asserted and de-asserted. When the control signal is de-asserted, data are transmitted from the coax line terminal to the plurality of coax network units on a specified frequency band. When the control signal is asserted, transmission of the data ceases and data are received from respective coax network units on the specified frequency band.

A media converter is to be coupled to an optical line terminal via an optical link and to a plurality of coax network units via coax links in a cable plant. The media converter includes an optical physical-layer device to receive and transmit optical signals via the optical link and a coax physical-layer device to receive and transmit electrical signals via the coax links. The media converter also includes an implementation of an optical-coax convergence layer to schedule transmissions of electrical signals from the plurality of coax network units by allocating coax resources among the plurality of coax network units in accordance with resource allocation for the optical link.
摘要:
Techniques are discussed herein identify transmission strategies and to communicate those identified transmission strategies in a transparent communication environment. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may identify a new transmission strategy for a downlink channel different from a current transmission strategy for the down link channel. The UE may transmit a channel state information (CSI) message that includes an indication of the new transmission strategy identified by the UE. In some examples, a base station may identify the new transmission strategy for the downlink channel. The base station may transmit a codebook subset restriction (CSR) indicator that includes an indication of the new transmission strategy identified by the base station. In some examples, the UE may modify its feedback strategy based on the new transmission strategy.

摘要:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for conveying downlink control information (DCI). According to certain aspects, the DCI comprises at least a first field that indicates both a rank indication (RI) and a number of enabled transport blocks (TBs) and at least a second field that indicates either a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for an enabled TB if the first field indicates more than one TB is enabled or information other than the MCS if the first field indicates a single TB is enabled.
摘要:
A wireless communication network distributes resources for a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) over multiple carriers in accordance with a constraint that limits a number of blind decoding actions required by user equipment (UE). Distribution can entail segregating UE-specific and common search spaces to different monitored carriers. Distribution can entail segregating aggregation levels to different monitored carriers. Distribution can entail segregating a number of decoding candidates for a given aggregation level to different monitored carriers. The distribution can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal, and can be UE-based or per cell-based. The distribution can be static, semi-static or hop with time.
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:
The described aspects include methods and apparatus for communicating control information in a carrier aggregation configuration that uses multiple radio access technologies (RAT). A first resource assignment related to a first carrier corresponding to a first RAT can be received, as well as, a second resource assignment related to a second carrier corresponding to a second RAT. The first carrier and the second carrier are aggregated for communicating data in a wireless network. In addition, resources can be determined for communicating first RAT control data for the first RAT over an uplink carrier based at least in part on the first resource assignment. Second RAT control data can then also be communicated in containers and/or using timing for control data of the first RAT over at least a portion of the resources.
