| 20080219361 | Adaptive Pilot Symbol Allocation Method and Apparatus - According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device estimates channel response based on a reduced-density common pilot signal comprising a plurality of regularly spaced common pilot symbols when the reduced-density common pilot signal is sufficient for estimating the channel response with a desired accuracy. The wireless communication device estimates the channel response based on the reduced-density common pilot signal and one or more additional pilot symbols adaptively allocated to the wireless communication device when the reduced-density common pilot signal is insufficient for estimating the channel response with the desired accuracy. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090323541 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSMITTING CQ1 ON THE UPLINK - A method for transmitting data flows between a network element and a number of receivers over a first channel. The method comprises the steps of: performing a link adaptation for the transmission of a data flow by said network element, and transmitting the data flow, transmitting an indication of a channel quality required for reception of the data flow on a second channel, receiving by said receivers said indication of channel quality, measuring a link quality by said receivers by monitoring a pilot channel, comparing said measured link quality with said received indication of the channel quality, and transmitting to said network element result of said comparison of said measured link quality with said received indication of the channel quality, if said result is lower than a predetermined value. The invention also relates to a network element and a user equipment. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100329190 | Communication Unit and a Method in a Wireless Communication Network - A communication unit for use in a wireless communication system in which a transmitting unit is arranged for wireless communication with at least one receiving unit, said network further comprising at least a first and a second relay node arranged to receive a signal from the transmitting unit and forward it to the receiving unit, said node being characterized in that it comprises a processor arranged to perform the following steps: identifying at least a first and a second communication path between the transmitting unit and the receiving unit, at least one of said paths involving the first or the second relay node, calculating a first and a second capacity of at least one hop in the first and second communication path, respectively communicating information related to the first and second capacity to at least one other communication node in the wireless network. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110134828 | Relay Node Selection for Network Coding - A base station in a wireless network receives link quality data from multiple relay nodes that relay data from the user terminals to the base station and/or from user terminals. The base station applies one or more cost functions to the link quality data and selects a relay node from the multiple relay nodes for network coding of data from a group of the user terminals based on results of the one or more cost functions. The base station notifies the selected relay node to network code data from the group of user terminals. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110142013 | Relative Time Division for Network Coding - A base station serves multiple user terminals via a relay node in a cell of a wireless network. The base station includes a time division scheme selection unit that selects a time division scheme from multiple time division schemes that optimizes a parameter associated with network coding of data transmitted between the multiple user terminals and the base station via the relay node. The base station further includes a transmission allocation unit that allocates uplink and/or downlink transmission intervals and interval lengths, based on the selected time division scheme, to each of the multiple user terminals and to the relay node. The base station also includes a notification message unit that notifies the multiple user terminals and the relay node of their respective transmission interval and interval length allocation. | 06-16-2011 |
