Abstract:
In a telecommunication system, a method of controlling and implementing uplink transmission schemes specifically for user equipment having multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) capability, comprising: initializing said scheme at a network element; forwarding a message from said network element to said terminal indicating said scheme; transmitting uplink signals according to said scheme. It may comprises selecting a pre-coding arrangement such as a Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator or other scheduling grant information.

Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: transmitting a value from an access node towards an apparatus, where the value is indicative of a size of a first portion of an uplink resource block, where the uplink resource block is shared among a plurality of apparatus, where the first portion is specified for transmission of a first type of signaling to the access node, where a second portion of the uplink resource block is specified for transmission of a second type of signaling to the access node; and receiving at least one transmission using at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and a controller to control not only cellular radio connections in a cell of a cellular communication system but also direct device-to-device communication links established between terminal devices within the cell. Particularly, the controller selects portion of the terminal devices to function as relay terminals for the other terminals to enable relayed communication links between the terminal devices and the base station through the relay terminals. The relay terminals link device-to-device connections to the cellular radio connections between the relay terminals and the base station.
Abstract:
A method provides information to a UE specifying a UL-DL configuration to be applied to the UE. The information is indicative of: (a) a signaling time at which a UL-DL configuration signaling for a new UL-DL configuration is to take place, and (b) an application time at which the new UL-DL configuration is to be applied. This method complements UL-DL configuration signaling by providing more reliable reception of UL-DL configuration information. This indication is performed with smaller signaling overhead compared to conventional schemes and with reasonable complexity on both the UE side and an eNB side.
