Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for wirelessly transmitting video frames are provided. A wireless transmitting apparatus may include a processor that generates a plurality of sub-streams based on a video frame, and a plurality of wireless transmitters that transmit the plurality of sub-streams to a wireless receiving apparatus. The processor is further configured to receive channel state information from the plurality of wireless transmitters and to determine at least one of a number of the plurality of sub-streams and an amount of data of the video frame to be included in each sub-stream of the plurality of sub-streams, based on the channel state information.
Abstract:
Latency reduction by fast forward (FF) in multi-hop communication device and/or systems is disclosed. Packets may be received and forwarded using a codeword (CW)-based approach with and/or without per-CW CRC. A FF session may have a flow ID and packets may have sequence numbers. Packets targeted for FF may be divided into independently decodable CWs that may be transmitted in the next hop, for example, as soon as the destination is determined without waiting for an entire packet's arrival and/or for CRC verification. Low latency (e.g. FF) traffic may be indicated. CW-based FF may be extensible for an e2e RAN path from a WTRU to the last access node in a RAN. Intermediate metrics, a packet CRC and/or a per-CW CRC may be utilized for data integrity. HARQ and/or CW retransmission procedures may be implemented between network nodes for error handling.

Abstract:
In response to a need for communication of uplink data (501 ) on the radio link (101 ) of a wireless network between a terminal (130-1 ) and a node (1 12), participation in a setup procedure (530, 531, 532) for establishing a data connection (160) on the radio link takes place. A first control message (504) indicative of a delay requirement (161 ) of the uplink data (501 ) is communicated during the setup procedure (530, 531, 532). During the setup procedure (530, 531, 532) and in response to said communicating of the first control message (504) a second control message (51 1 ) is selectively communicated which rejects the data connection.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for operating in a terminal device for downlink flow control. The terminal device receives duplicated packets from a first network node device and one or more secondary network node devices. The method comprises measuring downlink transmission information for the first network node device and the one or more secondary network node devices; deciding downlink flow control information based on the measured downlink transmission information; and sending the downlink flow control information to at least the first network node device. According to other aspects of the present disclosure, there are provided corresponding methods and devices.
Abstract:
An antenna apparatus is provided for use as a base station in a wireless network, and additionally a method is provided for performing spatial nulling within such an antenna apparatus. The antenna apparatus has an antenna assembly that employs a reception beam pattern selected from a plurality of reception beam patterns. During a nulling test operation, a reception beam pattern controller is arranged to cause the antenna assembly to employ each of the plurality of reception beam patterns. Quality metric determination circuitry then determines, for each reception beam pattern employed during the nulling test operation, a link quality metric for each of a plurality of wireless terminals, based on communication between those wireless terminals and the base station whilst the antenna assembly is employing that reception beam pattern. Reception beam determination circuitry is then arranged to determine, from the various link quality metrics, a reception beam pattern from amongst the plurality of reception beam patterns that is to be used for a subsequent communication with the plurality of wireless terminals. By such an approach, it is possible to alter a reception beam pattern so as to seek to reduce the effects of an interference source whilst also seeking to maintain an appropriate level of link quality in respect of each of the various wireless terminals that are communicating with the base station.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for improved traffic management in wireless communications are disclosed. Aspects of the present disclosure provide real-time assessments to a network by leveraging measurement reports from user equipment (UE). In some aspects, the network utilizes channel quality indicator (CQI) information from each of a serving cell and a neighboring cell to identify UE capabilities and expected UE performance prior to either offloading or rerouting traffic to the UE. For example, a radio network controller (RNC) may be configured to receive a first CQI associated with a first cell (e.g., serving cell) having a first high speed downlink channel and a second CQI associated with a second cell (e.g., neighboring cell) having a second high speed downlink channel. In accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure, the RNC may utilize the first CQI and the second CQI to identify load distribution, signal strength, anticipated data rate, and/or UE capabilities (e.g., whether the UE is equipped with interference cancellation capabilities) at each of the first and second cell.
