The embodiments include a distributed mechanism for D2D communications that enables one or more cooperating UEs (CUEs) to help one or more target UEs (TUEs) with limited additional signaling overhead and relatively simple implementation. The mechanism comprises a grantless multi-dimensional multiplexing scheme that uses low density spreading (LDS) over time, frequency, and/or space domains to enable data forwarding between multiple half-duplex terminals or UEs while allowing the UEs to operate in virtual full-duplex mode. | 06-19-2014 |
20140273862 | System and Method for Interference Cancellation Using Terminal Cooperation - Soft information for achieving interference cancellation in downlink transmissions can be communicated over device-to-device (D2D) links, thereby allowing paired user equipments (UEs) to receive downlink transmissions over the same radio resources. More specifically, paired UEs that receive transmissions over the same time-frequency resources may exchange soft or hard information over D2D links in order to facilitate interference cancellation. The D2D links may be unidirectional or bidirectional, and may be established over in-band or out-of-band resources. Paired UEs may be in the same or different cells, and may receive their respective transmissions from the same or different transmit point. UEs may be paired with one another based on various criteria, e.g., interference cancellation capabilities, scheduling metrics, etc. | 09-18-2014 |
20150043436 | System and Method for Cooperative Precoding in Heterogenous Two-Tier Wireless Networks - Embodiments are provided for a cooperative cross-tier precoding (CTP) and intra-tier precoding (ITP) scheme for two-tier networks. The cooperative precoding scheme allows exploitation of extra transmit dimensions at the second-tier network, thereby increasing the achievable throughput at the second-tier network. The embodiments allow significant increase in throughput of the second-tier network due to both CTP between the second-tier network and the first-tier network, and efficient ITP between the second-tier network transmitters. The increase in transmit dimension allows for efficient linear inra-tier precoding, which significantly reduces the intra-tier interference. A processor coupled to the second-tier network transmitters is configured to perform CTP of transmit signals in the second-tier network for cancelling signal interference from the second-tier network transmitters to a first-tier network receiver, thereby generating CTP matrix information. The processor then performs, using the CTP matrix information, ITP for reducing intra-signal interference from the second-tier transmitters to corresponding second-tier receivers. | 02-12-2015 |
20150057010 | System and Method for Boundaryless Service in Wireless Networks with Cooperative Transmission Points - Embodiments are provided to serve user equipments (UEs) that experience, for example persistently, inter-transmission point group (TPG) interference in a wireless or cellular network. The embodiments include steps to serve edge UEs (EUs) such as persistent EUs (PEUs) using a set of transmission points (TPs) in one or more TPGs. The selected set of TPs used for serving the EUs or PEUs are dynamically determined based on a UE-centric metric. The metric involves the PEUs and surrounding UEs. The UE-centric metric is used to partition the network to multiple TPG sets. For each one of multiple assigned resource units (RUs), a TPG set that maximizes or improves a network-wide utility is used for scheduling transmissions. Further, for each RU, the UEs are associated with an optimized or improved TPG in the used TPG set. | 02-26-2015 |
20150082133 | System and Method for User Equipment Cooperation - User equipment (UE) cooperation can be improved by relaying partial soft information to target UEs. More specifically, a cooperating UE may relay a subset of log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) to the target UE. The subset of LLRs may correspond to fewer than all resource blocks of the original transmission. This may allow UE cooperation to be effective when the cooperating UE was only able to decode a portion of the original transmission. This may also allow fewer network resources (e.g., bandwidth, etc.) to be used when the target UE does not need all of the soft information to decode the original transmission. Multiple cooperating UEs can provide different subsets of LLRs, and the subsets may or may not overlap with one another. | 03-19-2015 |
20150117377 | Terminal Based Grouping Virtual Transmission and Reception in Wireless Networks - Virtualized group-wise communications between a wireless network and a plurality of user equipments (UEs) are supported using UE cooperation. UE cooperation includes receiving, at a cooperating UE (CUE), downlink information from the wireless network destined for a target UE (TUE) and associated with a group identifier (ID). The group ID indicates a virtual multi-point (ViMP) node that includes the TUE and the CUE. The UE cooperation also includes sending the downlink information to the TUE. The UE or UE component can have a processor configured to forward between the wireless network and a TUE at least some information that is associated with a group ID indicating a ViMP node that groups the TUE and the UE. | 04-30-2015 |

20150334599 | System and Method for Dynamic Resource Allocation over Licensed and Unlicensed Spectrums - Dynamically varying transmission rates of a traffic flow over respective portions of a primary band and a complementary band may allow a transmit point to satisfy quality of service (QoS) requirements over a unified air interface. The QoS requirement may stipulate that an overall transmission rate of the traffic flow over the unified air interface exceeds a threshold. Transmission rates may be varied based on a contention level of the complementary band. For instance, during periods of high contention, the transmission rate on the primary band may be ramped up to compensate for a lower effective transmission rate over the complementary band. Likewise, during periods of low contention, the transmission rate on the primary band may be stepped down to compensate for a higher effective transmission rate over the complementary band. | 11-19-2015 |
20150334642 | System and Method for Communicating Wireless Transmissions Spanning both Licensed and Un-Licensed Spectrum - Performing wireless transmissions over a unified air interface that span portions of both the primary band and the complementary band may provide improved throughput and spectral efficiency in next generation networks. Wireless transmissions spanning both the licensed and unlicensed spectrum carry data in different frame formats over the respective primary and complementary bands. For example, frames communicated over the primary band may have a different channel structure (e.g., different size, placement, orientation, etc.) than frames communicated over the complementary band. Wireless transmissions spanning the licensed and unlicensed spectrum may also utilize different access schemes and/or waveforms over the respective primary and complementary bands. Embodiment unified air interfaces may be dynamically configurable via software defined radio (SDR) signaling instructions. | 11-19-2015 |
20150334643 | System and Method for Communicating Traffic over Licensed or Un-Licensed Spectrums based on Quality of Service (QoS) Constraints of the Traffic - Assigning traffic to be transported over either the primary band or the complementary band of a unified air interface based on quality of service (QoS) constraints of the traffic may allow for improved network resource utilization efficiency. In one example, traffic having deterministic QoS constraints is assigned to the primary band, while traffic having statistical QoS constraints is assigned to the complementary band when the complementary band is capable of satisfying the statistical QoS constraints of the traffic. If a condition on the complementary band prevents it from satisfying the statistical QoS constraint of the traffic, then the traffic is assigned to the primary band. | 11-19-2015 |
20150334712 | System and Method for Joint Transmission over Licensed and Unlicensed Bands using Fountain Codes - Transporting different sets of encoded packets generated from the same traffic flow over the respective licensed and unlicensed bands may provide bandwidth utilization efficiencies in addition to enabling more robust data streaming. More specifically, a transmit point may encode a traffic flow using a fountain code to obtain encoded packets, and then transmit different subsets of the encoded packets over the respective licensed and unlicensed bands. The fountain code may be applied at the physical layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, the radio link control (RLC) layer, or the application layer. The respective subsets of packets may be transmitted over the licensed and unlicensed bands at different rates. Different coding rates may be used over the respective bands. | 11-19-2015 |

20160095128 | System and Method for Adaptive Cooperation Mode Selection Strategies for Wireless Networks - Embodiments are provided for adaptive user equipment (UE) cooperation mode selection in wireless networks. An adaptive UE cooperation strategy is implemented, which adaptively switches between a Decode-and-Forward (D&F) mode and a soft UE combining mode that involves combining, at the TUE, signals from multiple cooperating UEs (CUEs). A method by a network component includes obtaining access link qualities for links between a base station and a plurality of CUEs for a target UE (TUE). A UE cooperation mode or a hybrid UE cooperation mode is then selected from a plurality of supported UE cooperation modes according to the access link qualities of the CUEs. At least one of the CUEs is then instructed to cooperate in forwarding the signals to the TUE using the selected UE cooperation mode. The CUEs can dynamically opt out of the UE cooperation according to the channel quality of the CUEs or TUE. | 03-31-2016 |
