Abstract:
An apparatus may include a transceiver operable to receive a downlink message from a base station for a serving cell, the downlink message allocating a set of control parameters. The apparatus may also include a processor circuit communicatively coupled to the transceiver and an uplink power control module operable on the processor circuit to read the set of control parameters, and apply a signal-to-noise-and-interference (SINR) parameter based on the received set of control parameters to determine physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power to be applied for a PUSCH transmission. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
A method and system of reducing false detection of control channel messages in a wireless communication system. This facilitates blind detection of control channel messages in the wireless communication network. In one embodiment of the invention, the control messages in the wireless communication system are randomized or scrambled to minimize or lower the probability of false detection of the control channel messages. The control channel message includes, but is not limited to, an Assignment Advanced Media Access Protocol (A-A-MAP) Information Element (IE) and the like. In one embodiment of the invention, the contents of the A-A-MAP IE are randomized or scrambled before encoding into A-A-MAP symbols.
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.
Abstract:
A signal structure for use in D2D communications is described. In one embodiment, a preamble for automatic gain control at the receiver end is included in the transmitted signal. Techniques for scheduling of D2D transmissions using carrier sensing multiple access (CSMA) and a power control schemes for interference management are also described.
Abstract:
A User Equipment and an eNodeB system are configured for performing interference mitigation in the UE. Input circuitry in the wireless communication device receives an OFDM downlink channel signal associated with a serving cell and receives downlink control information for an interfering cell. The downlink control information is used by the UE to perform channel estimation for the interfering cell. An interference mitigation module is provided for calculating an interference-mitigated version of the received channel signal using estimated channel transfer functions for both the serving cell and the interfering cell, power control parameters and using set of modulation constellation points corresponding to the OFDM downlink channel. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an eNB and method of transmitting PDCCHs are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the eNB may be configured to transmit PDCCHs that are based on a UE-specific reference signal (i.e., a UE-RS). In these embodiments, the UEs may be able to demodulate their PDCCH using a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) that is specific to the UE (e.g., instead of a common reference signal). The PDCCHs disclosed herein may be suitable the Uu interface of an LTE-A system.
Abstract:
A method for performing measurement by a radio apparatus is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes determining raw measurements (e.g., a channel estimation and a noise variance estimation) of a subband and determining a rank indicator (RI) without requiring a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) search. The method includes calculating, based at least on the raw measurements, a mean instantaneous capacity (MIC) for the subband and determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a PMI based at least on the MIC. In one embodiment, the method uses subband-based measurements for performing feedback/measurement.
Abstract:
A mobile station (MS) to determine signal quality values is disclosed. The MS may include a transmitter and a receiver and the receiver may determine a signal power value, a noise power value, and an interference power value of a signal received from antennas. The receiver may determine the signal power value and the interference value using a second preamble included in a super-frame of the signal, wherein the second preamble includes cell information. The receiver may determine a noise power value of the signal received from the plurality of antennas using unoccupied orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) tones of a first preamble included in the super-frame of the signal, wherein the first preamble includes carrier information. The receiver may also use the fractional frequency reuse (FFR) and MIMO features to determine signal quality values using the signal power value, the noise power value, and the interference power value.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for hybrid reference signal transmission in wireless communication. In some embodiments, an apparatus may include assignment logic to assign indices to a first set and a second set; identification logic to identify resource elements for a hybrid reference signal in accordance with a first rule for each index in the first set and in accordance with a second rule for each index in the second set, the second rule different from the first rule; and transmission logic to provide the hybrid reference signal for wireless transmission using a common transmission mode in the identified resource elements. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
