摘要:
Downlink control information, DCI, messages used for signaling downlink resource grants are employed for triggering sounding reference signal transmission in the uplink. An index of the uplink component carrier that should be used for the transmission is derived from SIB-2 linking between the downlink component carrier targeted by the downlink DCI message and one of the uplink component carriers configured for the mobile station, when the linking is available. In some cases the downlink component carrier targeted by the downlink DCI message is identified by a carrier identification field in the downlink DCI. Variants of the disclosed techniques involve a default uplink component carrier, which is used in the event that the SIB-2 based allocation is not possible or desired. The default uplink component carrier can be statically defined or semi-statically signaled by Radio Resource Control, RRC, signaling.

A technique for generating a reference signal for use in a communication system in which for reference signal generation multiple base sequences are defined is presented. A method implementation of the technique comprises generating a first reference signal sequence from a first base sequence and a second reference signal sequence from a second base sequence. A reference signal is generated that comprises the first reference signal sequence and the second reference signal sequence. The first reference signal sequence occupies a first spectral fragment of the reference signal, and the second reference signal sequence occupies a second spectral fragment of the reference signal. The second spectral fragment and the first spectral fragment do not overlap.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the power efficiency of a precoded OFDM signal is improved by a method in a network node 210, e.g. a mobile terminal, for adapting a signal for multi-antenna transmission. The network node 210 is comprised in a wireless communications network 200. In a first step 404, the network node 210 receives 404 at least a first parameter being related to the transmit power requirements of the network node 210. In some embodiments, the at least first parameter is a power control command. The network node 210 then receives, 408, a second parameter indicating a precoder W. In a further step 416, the network node 210 determines a modified precoder Ŵ, having the same dimensions as W, using the precoder W and the at least first parameter; Then, the network node 210 adapts, 418, the signal for multi-antenna transmission using the modified precoder Ŵ.

According to the present invention, a receiving node of a telecommunications network (20) (e.g. a radio base station (20) in uplink, or a mobile terminal (24) in downlink) transmits a single acknowledgement message to a transmitting node (e.g. a mobile terminal (24) in uplink, or a radio base station (22) in downlink) in respect of signals received over a plurality of frequency-aggregated carriers (component carriers) (10) between the transmitting and receiving nodes. If all signals are decoded correctly in the receiving node, a positive acknowledgement message (ACK) is sent to the transmitting node; if not all signals are decoded correctly, a negative acknowledgement message (NACK) is sent, or no acknowledgement message is sent. In this way, a single acknowledgement message can be sent for signals received over multiple carriers. The acknowledgement message can have the same format as legacy standards (for example, as specified in Release 8 of the 3GPP specifications), providing compatibility with existing equipment. The number of messages is also reduced compared with the straightforward approach of transmitting individual acknowledgement messages per component carrier.
摘要:
The invention is a method and apparatus for signaling uplink control information in a mobile communication network using carrier aggregation. The signaling mechanism allows the transmission, on a single uplink component carrier, of control information associated with a downlink transmission on multiple aggregated downlink component carriers. Semi-statically reserved resources for the transmission of control information on the uplink component carrier may be dynamically shared by user terminals that are assigned multiple downlink component carriers for downlink transmissions. Implicit or explicit resource indication can be used in combination with dynamic resource indication.

The present disclosure relates to signalling of reference signals for Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) transmission schemes. A method embodiment for generating reference signals for use between a mobile terminal 10 and an access node 20 in a cellular communication network 100 comprises receiving, by the mobile terminal 10, a cyclic shift set indicator; selecting, from a group of cyclic shift sets, a cyclic shift set based on the received cyclic shift set indicator, each cyclic shift set comprising at least two parameters each indicating a cyclic shift; and generating, based on at least two parameters of the selected cyclic shift set, at least two orthogonal reference signals for at least two layers of a Single User Spatial Multiplexing transmission scheme to be simultaneously transmitted. A further method embodiment comprises selecting, from a plurality of groups of cyclic shift sets, a group of cyclic shift sets based on at least one of a transmission rank, being the number of layers to be simultaneously transmitted, and a number of configured antennas of the mobile terminal 10.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for generating, transmitting, and processing error control information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The error control information is designed so that the probability of a NACK-to-ACK error in transmission is lower than the probability for an ACK-to-NACK error. Multiple ACK/NACK bits are transmitted along with one or more side information bits that indicate the relative quantities of ACK values and NACK values among the ACK/NACK bits. In an exemplary method for generating error control information in a communication device, a plurality of ACK/NACK bits indicating whether corresponding transport blocks were successfully received are generated. One or more side information bits are formed as a function of the ACK/NACK bits, the side information bits indicating the relative quantities of ACK values and NACK values among the ACK/NACK bits, and transmitted along with the ACK/NACK bits to the remote communication node.
