Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, are configured for spreading, using a first data spreader, first data into a first data frame using a first spreading factor. A first transmitter transmits the first data frame to a diplexer on a first frequency. A second data spreader spreads second data into a second data frame using a second spreading factor. A second transmitter transmits the second data frame to a diplexer on a second frequency different than the second frequency. A diplexer combines the first data frame and the second data frame. A first receiver receives on the first frequency, a third data frame from the diplexer. A second receiver receives on the second frequency a fourth data frame from the diplexer.

Abstract:
A method includes a base station in a distributed antenna system having a set of antennas. For each antenna, the base station stores state information indicating that the antenna is either in a transmit state or a do_not_transmit state. For each antenna indicated by the state information for the antenna as being in the transmit state, the base station determines whether the antenna has been given a clear channel indication (CCI) for a next transmission time interval (TTI). At the next TTI, the base station transmits data to a UE, wherein the base station transmits the data to the UE using antennas included in said set of antennas that i) are indicated by the state information for the antenna as being in the transmit state and ii) have been given the CCI. The base station adjusts the state information in accordance with a transmit status.
Abstract:
A radio access node (22) which communicates over a radio interface (24) with a first wireless terminal (26 1 ). The radio access node (22) generates a device-to-device (D2D) grant (54) which specifies radio resources that the first wireless terminal (26 1 ) is permitted to use for device-to-device (D2D) communication with a second wireless terminal (second wireless terminal 26 2 ). The radio access node (22) transmits the subframe (S) including the D2D grant (54) to the first wireless terminal (26 1 ). The first wireless terminal (26 1 ) transmits data (56) to the second wireless terminal using radio resources permitted by the D2D grant. In an example embodiment and mode the D2D grant is included in a downlink control channel such as PDCCH; in another example embodiment and mode the D2D grant is included in a downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
Abstract:
A beamforming control module including processing circuitry may be configured to receive fixed position information indicative of a fixed geographic location of a base station, receive dynamic position information indicative of a three dimensional position of at least one mobile communication station, determine an expected relative position of a first network node relative to a second network node based on the fixed position information and the dynamic position information, and provide instructions to direct formation of a steerable beam from an antenna array of the second network node based on the expected relative position.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a training sequence code of a transmitting apparatus with a plurality of transmitting antennas in a communication system are provided. A transmitting apparatus allocates a plurality of time slots for the plurality of transmitting antennas to be divided into at least one frame, and sends a training sequence code with reference power for any one of the transmitting antennas, and sends remaining training sequence codes for remainders of the transmitting antennas with transmission power from zero to the reference power, in any one of the time slots. A receiving apparatus receives a plurality of training sequence codes for a plurality of transmitting antennas through any one of the plurality of receiving antennas from a transmitting apparatus, and selects one of the training sequence codes having the greatest reception power to estimate a channel. This may improve a channel estimation performance in a communication system.
Abstract:
Techniques for encoding a phase adjustment for a feedback signal in a closed-loop transmit diversity system. In an aspect, codewords for the phase adjustments are chosen according to a variable-length prefix code. The prefix code aspect allows the codewords to be transmitted in sequence on the feedback channel without being separated by "commas" or demarcation symbols. The variable-length aspect provides a variety of coarse and fine phase adjustment quantization step sizes to accommodate multiple different channel scenarios. In an aspect, the length of the codewords may be further optimized according to the Huffman encoding algorithm.
Abstract:
A method of using pilot signals in a wireless communication network including encoding pilot signals, and transmitting the encoded pilot signals over an in-band backhaul link between two nodes in the network. Preferably, the pilot signals are encoded with a CDMA codeword associated with a link. The pilot signals can be decoded to permit estimation of a channel and interference attributable to each link.
Abstract:
Providing for fair resource sharing among wireless nodes in a wireless communication environment is described herein. By way of example, fairness can comprise establishing a set of resource sharing credits for wireless nodes. By expending credits, a node can borrow a resource of another node, to enable or enhance operation of the borrowing node. Credits for the borrowing node are decreased based on consumption of a shared resource, or credits for the lending node are increased based on such consumption, or both. Once an amount of credits expires, a node can be restricted from borrowing further resources until enough resources are lent to build up a suitable amount of credits. Accordingly, fairness can comprise correlating shared resource consumption with shared resource provisioning, to encourage participation in cooperative wireless communications.
