摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices for utilizing flexible bandwidth carriers for small cells are provided. Bandwidth scaling factor(s) for a small cell may be determined. A flexible bandwidth carrier may be generated for the small cell utilizing the bandwidth scaling factor. Some embodiments provide assistance with active hand-in due to more available PN offsets in the flexible bandwidth domain. Some embodiments enhance small cell discovery with high bandwidth scaling factor beacon-like small cells with little more power than that corresponding to the same power spectral density for normal bandwidth small cell. Some embodiments reduce the interference caused by small cell to macrocell users using an adaptive bandwidth scaling factor for small cells based on number of users supported and their traffic demand, to control the extent of overlap the macrocell has with small cell and the interference to macrocell mobiles. Some embodiments utilize self-configuration for small cells utilizing flexible bandwidth channels.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for providing services, such as voice services, within flexible bandwidth systems. In general, the scaling of one or more aspects of a flexible bandwidth system may be compensated for through altering one or more aspects within a code domain. The tools and techniques may include scaling spreading factors (with rate matching tuning in some embodiments), multi-code transmission, code rate increases, AMR codec rate adjustments, and/or higher order modulation. Subframe decoding approaches for the reception scheme may also be utilized. These tools and techniques can be flexibly implemented on the mobile device and/or base station side. Some embodiments may also minimize the latency introduced by the transmission and/or reception process. Flexible bandwidths systems may utilize portions of spectrum that may be too big or too small to fit a normal bandwidth waveform.

Methods, systems, and devices for separating signaling data and traffic data onto separate carriers for wireless communications systems are provided. Some embodiments utilize flexible bandwidth that may utilize portions of spectrum that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform through utilizing flexible waveforms. Flexible bandwidth systems may lead to reduced data rate on the signaling or other channels. Separating the signaling and the data traffic into different flexible bandwidth carriers so that assigned resources can be customized to different traffic patterns may address this issue. In some embodiments, the signaling data is received and/or transmitted over a first carrier separate from any other traffic data. For example, the signaling data may be received and/or transmitted over the first band carrier without any other traffic data. The traffic data and/or network data associated with the signaling data may be received and/or transmitted over a separate, second carrier.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for dynamically adapting the bandwidth of flexible bandwidth carriers. Adapting the bandwidth of a flexible bandwidth carrier may be achieved through changing the scale factor of the flexible bandwidth signal. Information such as traffic patterns, interference measurements, etc., may be utilized to determine the adapted scaling factors. In macrocellular deployments, for example, dynamically adjusting the bandwidth of a flexible bandwidth system may be utilized in order to increase network capacity, mitigate interference caused to other carriers, avoid adjacent carrier interference, and/or save energy on the network. Traffic pattern and other information may also be utilized to dynamically adjust uplink and downlink bandwidths of a flexible bandwidth carrier, either jointly or independently.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for making scaling adjustments with respect to a fractional subsystem in a wireless communications system. To handle the effects of scaling associated with fractional bandwidth systems, different adjustments may be made to maintain certain quality of service (QoS) requirements, for example. Scaling adjustments may include identifying a scaling factor for the fractional subsystem and a parameter and/or a timer associated with the fractional subsystem. An adjustment associated with the parameter and/or timer may be determined based on the scaling factor. The adjustment may be applied with respect to the parameter and/or timer for at least a portion of the fractional subsystem or another portion of the wireless communications system.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for utilizing scaling factors and/or fractional bandwidth and waveforms for wireless communication. Scaling factors may be utilized to relate aspects of one subsystem with aspects of another subsystem. Embodiments may utilize portions of spectrum that may not be big enough to fit a standard waveform. Scaling factors may be utilized to generate fractional waveforms to fit these portions of spectrum. A fractional subsystem may be generated with respect to a normal subsystem or other fractional subsystem through dilating, or scaling, time, frequency, state, or other aspects of the fractional subsystem with respect to time, frequency, state, or other aspects of the normal subsystem or the other fractional subsystem. The fractional subsystem may be aligned with a normal system at different times and/or different frequencies. Scaling information may be utilized to perform measurements on another subsystem, perform handoffs to another subsystem, perform reselection, align, etc.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for coordinating forward link blanking and/or power boosting in wireless communications systems. Some embodiments include two or more bandwidth systems. The bandwidth of one bandwidth system may overlap with the bandwidth of another bandwidth system. This overlap may create interference. Coordinating forward link blanking and/or power boosting may aid in reducing the impact of this interference. Some embodiments utilize flexible bandwidth and/or normal bandwidth systems. Flexible bandwidth systems may utilize portions of spectrum that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform, though some embodiments may utilize flexible waveforms that utilize more bandwidth than a normal waveform.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices for increasing reverse link throughput by coordination of multiple wireless systems using reverse link blanking are provided. Some embodiments involve utilizing the bandwidth of one carrier bandwidth that partially overlaps with the bandwidth of another carrier bandwidth. This overlap may create interference. Different indicators may be utilized to prompt a device, such as a mobile device, to coordinate reverse link transmission blanking on at least one of the carrier bandwidths to increase throughput for the other overlapping carrier bandwidth. For example, a base station may transmit such an indicator to the mobile device to prompt the transmission blanking. Some embodiments also include increasing transmission power for the overlapping carrier bandwidth during the transmission blanking of other carrier bandwidth. Some embodiments utilize flexible carrier bandwidths systems that may utilize portions of spectrum that may not be big enough to fit a normal bandwidth waveform.
