20130230000 | LOW COMPLEXITY UNIFIED CONTROL CHANNEL PROCESSING - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate unified, low-complexity processing (e.g., user separation and noise estimation) of a control channel. One or more UEs can respectively transmit one or more control signals, which are multiplexed on a control channel and a base station can receive a control channel signal that includes the one or more control signals. The base station, in a single pass, can separate the control signals by matching the control channel signal with a base sequence and translating the matched signal to a time-domain representation. In the time-domain representation, each control signal resides at a different tap. Further, the base station can identify taps of the time-domain representation corresponding to an unused cyclic shift or orthogonal cover sequence. Such taps can be employed to generate a noise and/or interference estimate. | 09-05-2013 |
20130301566 | COEXISTENCE BETWEEN LEGACY CARRIER TYPES AND NEW CARRIER TYPES - A method of wireless communication occurs in a frequency band having a first set of resources associated with a first carrier type and a second set of resources associated with a second carrier type. In one configuration, the first carrier type is a new carrier type and the second carrier type is a legacy carrier type. Legacy UEs may only receive signals from the second carrier type. However, new UEs may receive signals from both the first carrier type and the second carrier type. Therefore, to provide backward compatibility while supporting new UEs, an eNodeB may signal support of the first carrier type to a new UE while maintaining signaling with legacy UEs. Additionally, the eNodeB may restrict operations of a UE to the first set of resources or second set of resources. | 11-14-2013 |
20130343355 | SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULING GRANTS IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS - Time division multiplexing (TDM) partitioning is one of the inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) mechanisms considered for a heterogeneous network (HetNet) ICIC in a co-channel deployment. For example, in subframes that are pre-allocated to an evolved Node B (eNB), neighbor eNBs may not transmit, hence interference experienced by served user equipments (UEs) may be reduced. Semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grants may have various available periodicities, which may not be compatible with TDM partitioning. Therefore, a UE may miss an SPS opportunity that was scheduled for a subframe that was not usable by the UE. Hence, using SPS grants with small periodicities in a heterogeneous network with TDM partitioning may require changes which may include adjusting the periodicities of the SPS grants, rescheduling of uplink SPS messages based on resource partitioning information (RPI), and/or determining RPI based on current SPS grants. | 12-26-2013 |
