Abstract:
In various embodiments of the invention, a relay station in a wireless communications network may communicate with one or more subscriber stations at the same time and/or on the same frequency that the associated base station is communicating with another relay station in the same network. This contrasts with the conventional technique of devoting one time period or frequency exclusively to communications between the base station and the relay stations, and devoting another time period or frequency exclusively to communications between the relay stations and the subscriber stations.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for HARQ timing control in wireless communication systems is disclosed. The apparatus and method provides one unified algorithm to determine HARQ timing, with consideration of the downlink-to-uplink ratio, the presence of legacy zones, support of relay zones, and variable transmission time interval length. The disclosed algorithm guarantees sufficient processing time, at both the transmit and receive sides. Further, retransmissions occur in a periodic manner, simplifying the implementation.

The present disclosure includes systems and methods that provide an alternative approach to providing V2X that is based on hybrid architecture that utilizes two or more radio access technologies (RATs). One described architecture is based on LTE and IEEE 802.1 1 (IEEE 802.11 p) technologies and allows seamless interworking between LTE and IEEE 802.11 terminals as well as at the network side, providing desired assistance information and ubiquitous connectivity to V2X services in different challenging scenarios. The systems and methods of the present disclosure can provide support for geo-casting based transmission and geo-specific V2X operation applied at different geo-location areas experiencing different radio congestion levels.
Abstract:
Example systems, methods, and devices for mitigating interference in wireless networks are discussed. One example method includes the operations of passing channel frequency offsets of a plurality of LTF symbols on a plurality of subcarriers through a high pass frequency band, encoding the plurality of LTF symbols with a plurality of LTF sequences across frequency, and encoding the LTF symbols in time and/or frequency. Another example includes the operations of receiving a plurality of LTF symbols on a plurality of subcarriers for channel estimation of one or more streams, removing the encoding across time, removing the encoding across frequency, and removing the LTF sequence(s), and passing the modified LTF symbols through a smoothing filter, for example, a low pass filter for removing the interference due to CFOs. Methods, apparatus, and systems described herein can be applied to 802.11ax or any other wireless standard.

The method using a transmission station comprises the operation of setting up a multicast service on each of a plurality of mobile devices in a multicast group using a multicast cell radio network temporary identifier (MC-RNTI) with a common cell identifier (CID). The operation of allocating physical downlink shared data channel (PDSCH) resources for the multicast group using a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) masked by the MC-RNTI follows.
Abstract:
A serving gateway (S-GW) in a radio access network (RAN) server system for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication can include a P2P content manager. The P2P content manager can be configured for receiving P2P data content from other nodes in a P2P network, forwarding the P2P data content to other nodes in the P2P network, and transmitting the P2P data content to a mobile device associated with the S-GW in a downlink (DL) transmission. The serving gateway can be a node in the P2P network and coupled to a transmission station in the RAN. The P2P data content includes at least one P2P data packet.

Uplink power control in a macro cell in a wireless network comprises transmitting a reference signal from a base station device to at least one wireless device within the macro cell. The macro cell comprises the base station device and at least one radio transmitter device that is communicatively coupled to and remote from the base station device. The base station device and one or more radio transmitter devices could be selected to be a transmission point, a reception point or a combination thereof, for each wireless device. Information relating to a transmission power of the base station device is also transmitted to the at least one wireless device. An uplink signal is received from the at least one wireless device containing information relating to an uplink power determination that is based on the reference signal and the information relating to the transmission power of the base station device.
