Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may transmit or receive data using high-rate, dual-band cellular communications architecture. The WTRU and other wireless communication nodes or devices may utilize the millimeter wave (mmW) frequency along with the traditional cellular bands. An mmW base station (mB) and an mmW gateway node (mGW) may also communicate with the WTRU and/or an evolved Node B (eNB). Radio Network Evolution (RNE) architecture may be used for integrating mmW communications into LTE architecture. Low throughput cellular devices may be integrated with the management of mGWs using the mmW. A small-cell cloud radio access network (RAN), including a mesh-backhaul, may also be used. A plurality of protocol termination aspects for each of the different wireless communication nodes may be used in a variety of deployment scenarios.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for power control for distributed wireless communication is disclosed including one or more power control loops associated with a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). Each power control loop may include open loop power control or closed loop power control. A multi-phase power control method is also disclosed with each phase representing a different time interval and a WTRU sends transmissions at different power levels to different set of node-Bs or relay stations during different phases to optimize communications.
