Abstract:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for resource allocation for physical uplink control channels are described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A frame structure and reference signal (RS) structure for full-duplex (FD) cellular systems are described that take into account both conventional co-channel and new interferences introduced by FD. Based on this frame and RS structure, mechanics for channel estimation for demodulation and channel state information measurement and signaling are described.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for flexible adjustment of the uplink-downlink ratio configuration for each enhanced node B (eNodeB) within a wireless communications network is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a given eNodeB is configured to determine a current or subsequent uplink-downlink ratio configuration for a pre-determined time period. The determined current or subsequent uplink-downlink ratio configuration is encoded into a special physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the special PDCCH included in at least one radio frame according to the pre-determined time period. The radio frame including the special PDCCH is transmitted to user equipment served by the given eNodeB.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for setting the Physical Downlink Control Channel search spaces for component carriers. If any component carrier is de-activated, the Carrier Indicator Fields (CIF) of remaining activated component carriers can be set to consecutive values. The User Element can utilize its identifier to determine the starting point Control Channel Elements in each subframe. The locations of Control Channel Elements for a component carrier can be determined based on its CIF. Accordingly, search spaces for different component carriers can potentially be closely spaced but not overlap.
Abstract:
Group size indications may be distributed from a base station to a mobile station in the form of assignment-advanced-MAP transmit control signaling. The signaling control information may be sent to a station, such as a mobile station, using a table that indicates the size of a group based on coding rates, such as one-half and one-quarter coding rates. Waste may be controlled by determining a size based on using an unoccupied resource in a group that is adjacent to data resource for data transmission by the station. However, an unoccupied resource in a group that is not adjacent to a data resource is not used for data transmission and is, therefore, wasted.
