Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100017671Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Process Mapping Rule - A method is provided for associating initial transmissions and retransmissions. The method includes determining a HARQ process ID for the initial transmission based upon a system frame number, a subframe number, a period associated with the initial transmission and/or a number of reserved HARQ process IDs. The method further includes associating the initial transmission with a retransmission based upon the HARQ process ID.01-21-2010
20100031111Dynamic Overwriting of Physical Downlink Control Channel for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Associations for Downlink Semi-Persistent Scheduling - A method for assigning hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID is provided. The method includes, when a retransmission associated with a first initial semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission having a first HARQ process ID is expected to occur after a second initial transmission previously configured with SPS resource, explicitly assigning a second HARQ process ID to the second initial transmission wherein the second HARQ process ID is different from the first HARQ process ID.02-04-2010
20100067501Faint Connectivity Session Setup - A method for communicating is provided. The method comprises communicating regarding transmission time interval (TTI) bundling related to one or more random access (RA) messages.03-18-2010
20100074206Detection Time of Semi-Persistent Scheduling Activation/Reconfiguration Signaling - A method is provided for improving reliability in detection of an identifier for a user agent is provided. The method includes the user agent attempting to decode semi-persistent scheduling activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on-duration.03-25-2010
20100075691Transport Block Size Signaling for Semi-Persistent Scheduling - A method is provided for improving reliability in semi-persistent scheduling activation/reactivation is provided. The method includes a user agent receiving a first data element from an access device specifying at least one first transport block size. The method further includes the user agent deriving a second transport block size based on a second data element received from the access device. The method further includes the user agent comparing the first transport block size with the second transport block size. The method further includes, when the first transport block size differs from the second transport block size, the user agent ignoring the received semi-persistent scheduling activation/reactivation data.03-25-2010
20100110942Layer 2 Relay Multiplexing and Interference Mitigation - A network arrangement comprising a relay node (RN), wherein the RN is configured to assign a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) allocated by an enhanced node B (ENB) for at least one user equipment (UE). A network comprising an ENB, wherein the ENB is configured to allocate a plurality of RBs for an RN, wherein the RBs are assigned for at least one UE. Also disclosed is a method for communicating in a network, comprising selecting a time-division (TD) communication mode, and using resource scheduling based on the selected TD communication mode.05-06-2010
20100110989Transport Protocol Performance Using Network Bit Rate Information - A method for communicating in a telecommunications system is provided. The method comprises conveying a downlink bit rate and an uplink bit rate associated with an access point name to a user agent.05-06-2010

20080232301Slow Adaptation of Modulation and Coding for Packet Transmission - Systems and methods for performing MCS adaptation are provided. In some cases, the network performs MCS adaptation based on received NACKs. In other cases, the mobile station determines an MCS based on channel quality measurements, and feeds back the MCS adaptation decision to the network. In either case, NACK-only feedback may be implemented to reduce interference.09-25-2008
