| 20080279263 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING INTERFERENCE IN SPACE FREQUENCY BLOCK CODING COMMUNICATION - A method and apparatus of reducing interference in space frequency block coding (SFBC) communication are disclosed. SFBC encoding is performed on at least one pair of symbols. The symbols are assigned to subcarriers in accordance with a frequency assignment pattern assigned to a cell. Different frequency assignment patterns are assigned to neighboring cells. Cells in the network may be divided into a plurality of groups and a different frequency assignment pattern may be assigned to each group of cells. The frequency assignment pattern may be defined such that subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in one cell are interlaced to subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in a neighbor cell. Alternatively, the frequency assignment pattern may be defined such that subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in one cell are shifted in a neighbor cell. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090116570 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING CHANNEL QUALITY INDICATOR, PRECODING MATRIX INDICATOR AND RANK INFORMATION - A method and apparatus for generating channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and rank information are disclosed. The method and apparatus reduces feedback overhead and defines differential CQI information in an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090202029 | OPTIMIZED PRIMARY SYNCHRONIZATION SEQUENCES FOR DEDICATED MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST/ MULTICAST SERVICE - A method optimizes a selection of primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) sequences from an available set of P-SCH indices for a dedicated Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS). The criteria for selecting P-SCH indices include coprimeness, frequency offset sensitivity, multipath sensitivity, cross-correlation property in the time domain, auto-correlation property in the time domain and computation complexity at the receiver. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090232108 | I/Q IMBALANCE ESTIMATION USING SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNALS IN LTE SYSTEMS - A method and apparatus perform I/Q imbalance estimation and compensation using synchronization signals in LTE systems. Primary and secondary synchronization signals (P-SCH and S-SCH), which carry synchronization information, are embedded in each LTE frame, and are used for receiver I/Q imbalance estimation. Additionally, the performance may be significantly improved by optimally selecting the training data in I/Q imbalance estimation. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100296467 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RANDOM ACCESS IN MULTICARRIER WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Methods and apparatus for random access in multicarrier wireless communications are disclosed. Methods and apparatus are provided for physical random access channel (PRACH) resource signaling, PRACH resource handling, preamble and PRACH resource selection, random access response (RAR) reception, preamble retransmission, and transmission and reception of subsequent messages. A method for maintaining an allowed multicarrier uplink (UL) random access channel (RACH) configuration set by adding an UL carrier to the allowed RACH configuration set provided that a triggering event occurs and performing a random access (RA) procedure using the allowed RACH configuration set. A method for sending data in multicarrier wireless communications by determining a set of available UL carriers and selecting an UL carrier from the set of available UL carriers. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110039568 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTENTION-BASED UPLINK DATA TRANSMISSION - A method and apparatus for a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) to use a contention-based uplink communications channel, applies a rule-based restriction of access to the contention-based uplink channel that attempts to use at least one contention-free uplink channel allocation for uplink transmissions on a condition that at least one contention-free uplink channel allocation has been granted. | 02-17-2011 |
