The wireless terminal includes: a control channel reception unit; a data reception unit for receiving data from the first base station and data coordinately transmitted from the second base station using a resource which is indicated by the first control channel; a control channel transmission unit that transmits a second control channel related to a retransmission of the data received by the data reception unit to at least the first base station; and a reception control unit that controls Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process for data coordinately transmitted by at least the first base station and the second base station based on the first control channel. | 2014-03-13 |
20140071927 | ENHANCED ACCESS CHANNEL MASKS FOR xHRPD - Disclosed is a method of performing Pseudo-random-Noise (PN) quadrature covering for transmitting data via an access channel. Such method is achieved by receiving a 42-bit access long code mask MI | 2014-03-13 |
20140071928 | MULTIPLEXING LARGE PAYLOADS OF CONTROL INFORMATION FROM USER EQUIPMENTS - An apparatus and method for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) over a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) in a communication system. The method includes acquiring information for configuration of a first PUCCH format and a second PUCCH format; generating UCI to be transmitted; selecting one of the first PUCCH format and the second PUCCH format for transmitting the UCI; encoding the generated UCI; performing an Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) operation on the encoded UCI; and transmitting the IFT performed UCI using the selected PUCCH format. The second PUCCH format is selected, if the transmitting of the UCI is related to multiple downlink carriers. | 2014-03-13 |
20140071929 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND DEVICE THEREFOR - Disclosed in the present invention is a method for a terminal to receive a downlink signal from a base station in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving downlink control information from the base station in a data region of a first subframe; and receiving downlink data in a data region of a second subframe, on the basis of the downlink control information, wherein the second subframe is a subframe available after a preset number of subframes from the first subframe. | 2014-03-13 |
