Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to partitioning slots in wireless communications into virtual mini-slots at least for the purpose of transmitting multiple feedback transmissions within the slot.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for HARQ transmission are disclosed herein. The eNB may transmit, to a reduced-latency User Equipment (UE), an initial HARQ block and a diversity HARQ block for a reduced-latency data block. A sub-frame spacing between the transmissions of the HARQ blocks may be less than a sub-frame spacing used for transmissions of HARQ blocks to UEs not operating as reduced-latency UEs. The HARQ blocks for the reduced-latency data block may be transmitted in a reduced-latency region of time and frequency resources reserved for HARQ processes with reduced-latency UEs. In addition, HARQ blocks may be transmitted in time and frequency resources exclusive of the reduced-latency region to other UEs not operating as reduced-latency UEs.

Abstract:
A method for error detection within a passive optical network (PON), the method comprising receiving a first upstream optical signal that is copied at an optical splitter, converting the first upstream optical signal to a first electrical signal, receiving a second electrical signal that is converted from a second upstream optical signal that is copied at the optical splitter, and determining a corrected transmitted data stream using at least the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, wherein the first upstream optical signal and the second upstream optical signal are copies of an upstream optical signal generated from a plurality of optical network units (ONUs).
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to selectively patching frame erasures in a first stream. A receiver receives the first stream, receives a second stream corresponding to the first stream, detects a missing frame in the first stream, and attempts to replace the missing frame in the first stream with a corresponding frame from the second stream.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for maximizing the spectral efficiency of a communications spectrum by providing a means to transmit information continuously in both directions of a radio link on the same center frequency at any given time. One embodiment may be directed to a method of communicating in a point-to-point radio system. The method may include receiving a first signal at a first antenna of a radio head. The first signal may include a transmitted data signal and interfering signals. The method continues by determining a correction signal from a transmitter of the radio head and processing the first signal to remove the interfering signals using the correction signal, and sending a second signal using a second antenna. The first and second signals may be sent and received at substantially the same time.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for a User Equipment (UE) to transmit in a control channel ACKnowledgement signals associated with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest process (HARQ-ACK signals) in response to receiving Transport Blocks (TBs) transmitted from a base station. The UE conveys the HARQ-ACK information by selecting one resource from multiple resources in the control channel and by selecting a constellation point of the modulation scheme for the HARQ-ACK signal. Transmission diversity is supported using different control channel resources that are already available to the UE without configuring additional resources. Design principles are described to optimally map the HARQ-ACK information to control channel resources and modulation constellation points for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system and for a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system.
Abstract:
A communication device and method of allocating spectrum resources in a communication system to protect data to be transmitted are disclosed. The communication channel resource is divided temporally to form regions. Data to be transmitted is separated into data portions. Each data portion is able to be transmitted over one of the regions. The data portions are prioritized based on the importance of the data portion. The regions are ranked based on the transmission reliability thereon. The prioritized data portions are mapped to the ranked regions such that more important data portions are mapped to more reliable regions and less important data portions are mapped to less reliable regions. The prioritized data is output temporally in order of importance to enable the mapping of the prioritized data.
