20100172395 | MULTI-CARRIER TRANSMITTER DESIGN ON ADJACENT CARRIERS IN A SINGLE FREQUENCY BAND ON THE UPLINK IN W-CDMA/HSPA - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate synthesizing a single baseband waveform from digital signals related to multiple carriers. Digital signals can be received relating to a plurality of carriers. The digital signals can result from spreading data symbols from transport blocks to create chip sequences, which can additionally be pulse shaped. The digital signals can be rotated in a positive or negative direction, such as according to a complex sinusoid or a negative representation thereof. The rotated signals can be combined or added to generate a single baseband waveform. The single baseband waveform can be converted to an analog signal, which can be up-converted and centered at a plurality of frequency carriers, which can be adjacent, assigned for transmitting the signal. In addition, optimizations can be provided to ensure threshold power ratio over the plurality of carriers for effectively transmitting jointly encoded signals. | 07-08-2010 |

20100271939 | CONTROL OF RADIO LINKS IN A MULTIPLE CARRIER SYSTEM - Methods, systems and apparatuses for controlling radio links in a multiple carrier wireless communication system are disclosed. A method can include aggregating control functions from at least two carriers onto one carrier to form an anchor carrier and one or more associated secondary carriers; establishing communication links for the anchor carrier and each secondary carrier; and controlling communication based on the anchor carrier. | 10-28-2010 |
20110199949 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER CONTROL IN HIGH SPEED PACKET ACCESS (HSPA) NETWORKS - A wireless communication device includes: an antenna for receiving inbound signals on dual receive channels and transmitting outbound signals on dual transmit channels; a transceiver coupled to the antenna to receive the inbound signals from the antenna and convey the outbound signals; a power controller coupled to the transceiver to control power levels of the outbound signals so a maximum nominal power level of the outbound signals is a first power level; and a processor coupled to the transceiver and the antenna to cause the power controller to control the power levels of the outbound signals so if a power level of a received one of the inbound signals is below a threshold value, then the maximum nominal power level of the outbound signals is a second power level lower than the first power level, wherein the second power level is lower than the first power level. | 08-18-2011 |
20110243083 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALING USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES - Apparatus and methods that provide wireless communications, where a method for wireless communications includes receiving at a Node B a first set of bits indicating at least two frequency bands supported by a UE for HSDPA, the first set of bits further specifying a number of downlink adjacent carriers supported by the UE for each of the at least two frequency bands.

20120329462 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING CELL RESELECTION FOR HIGHER PRIORITY LAYERS - User Equipments (UEs) can be adapted to enter into a lower RRC state from a higher RRC state, and search for one or more layers of higher priority within a predetermined period of time upon entering into the lower RRC state. According to at least one aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed irrespective of RF quality of a current serving cell. According to at least another aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be conducted within the predetermined period of time if a wait period has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. If the wait period has not elapsed since camping on the current serving cell, the search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed within the predetermined period of time following a duration of the wait period. | 12-27-2012 |
20130039227 | INSERTION LOSS IMPROVEMENT IN A MULTI-BAND DEVICE - A multi-band user equipment (UE) is configured to operate in a single frequency band mode or a multiple frequency band mode. When operating in a single frequency band mode, the UE activates a bypass switch to route uplink signals of a first band around a multiplexer and reduce the insertion loss for the band. | 02-14-2013 |
20150326288 | THROUGHPUT BASED RANK SELECTION - Aspects described herein relate to selecting a rank for wireless communications using multiple transmit antenna layers. A first effective throughput achievable using a first rank and based at least in part on a first block error rate (BLER) associated with the first rank can be estimated along with a second effective throughput achievable using a second rank and based at least in part on a second BLER associated with the second rank. The first rank or second rank is selected to be used for transmitting communications over multiple transmit antenna layers based at least in part on comparing the first effective throughput to the second effective throughput, and the selection can be indicated to a transmitting entity from which the communications over the multiple transmit antenna layers are received. | 11-12-2015 |
20150326293 | HYBRID VIRTUAL ANTENNA MAPPING FOR MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT SYSTEM - Aspects for balancing power output on the plurality of antennas for the transmission of a transport block are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a transmitter may balance the power output on a plurality of transmit antennas in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system by having a precoded data block bypass a virtual antenna mapping of the overhead channels (e.g., control channels). Additionally or alternatively, the transmitter may balance the power output on the plurality of transmit antennas by applying an inverse mapping parameter during the precoding process to the transport block to generate a plurality of inverse mapped precoded data blocks. In some examples, the inverse mapping parameter may be an inverse of the mapping parameter. Thus, in accordance with the present disclosure, precoding a transport block may include selecting a precoding weight for each of the plurality of antennas from an unrestricted precoding weight set. | 11-12-2015 |
