| 20110255505 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BUNDLING RESOURCE BLOCKS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A base station for use in a wireless network operable to communicate with a plurality of mobile stations. The base station transmits a downlink frame to a first mobile station. The downlink frame comprises time-frequency resource elements allocated in a plurality of physical resource blocks. The base station transmits the plurality of physical resource blocks in bundles having a bundle size that is a function of the system bandwidth configuration and the base station uses the same precoder for all physical resource blocks in the same bundle. The bundle size is from one physical resource block to three physical resource blocks. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110274043 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION MODE FOR UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION - A base station includes a transmit path circuitry to select one of a first UCI multiplexing method that allows a subscriber station to simultaneously transmit PUSCH and PUCCH and a second UCI multiplexing method that does not allow the subscriber station to simultaneously transmit PUSCH and PUCCH. The transmit path circuitry also transmits a higher layer signal indicating the one selected UCI multiplexing method, and transmits one or more uplink grants. Each of the uplink grants schedules a PUSCH in an UL CC for a subframe n, and each of the uplink grants carries a CQI request. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry to receive an aperiodic CSI report on the PUSCH in the uplink component carrier i when only one of the uplink grants scheduling a PUSCH in an uplink component carrier i carries a CQI request having a value from a set of values. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110280222 | UPLINK TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTING UPLINK MIMO - A base station includes a transmit path circuitry to transmit an uplink grant to a subscriber station. The uplink grant indicating a first MCS value for a first codeword transmission and a second MCS value for a second codeword transmission. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry configured to receive a MIMO uplink subframe from the subscriber station, the MIMO uplink subframe having a first subset of layers used for the first codeword transmission and a second subset of layers used for the second codeword transmission. ACK/NACK information and RI information are repeated on both the first and second subsets of layers, and CQI is spatially multiplexed on either the first subset or the second subset of layers. If the first MCS value is different from the second MCS value, the CQI is spatially multiplexed onto the subset of layers having a higher MCS value. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110299484 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A base station includes a transmit path circuitry to transmit an uplink grant in a DCI format to a subscriber station. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry to receive only UCI on a PUSCH from a subscriber station when the uplink grant includes a MCS of an enabled transport block (TB) with a value of 29, or a redundancy version of the PUSCH with a value of 1; a CSI request field with a non-zero value; and a total number of physical resource blocks allocated for the subscriber station, N | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110310823 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAPPING HARQ-ACK BITS - A subscriber station is provided. The subscriber station includes a transmit path circuitry to transmit uplink control information (UCI) in a subframe comprising one or more resource blocks, each resource block comprising S SC-FDM symbols. Each of the S symbols comprises N virtual subcarriers, and each subcarrier of each symbol comprises a resource element. The subscriber station also includes a UCI symbol allocator to allocate a first vector sequence of HARQ-ACK bits to a control region of each of four symbols of a resource block, the control region allocated for HARQ-ACK bits. The UCI symbol allocator also allocates a second vector sequence of HARQ-ACK bits to a control region of a fifth symbol of the resource block when a condition is met. The control region of the fifth symbol can be allocated for rank information (RI) bits. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20120003945 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR 8-TX CODEBOOK AND FEEDBACK SIGNALING IN 3GPP WIRELESS NETWORKS - A mobile station for use in a wireless network. The mobile station is operable to transmit feedback values to a base station of the wireless network. The feedback values include a first precoder matrix indicator (PMI1) value and a second precoder matrix indicator (PMI2) value. The mobile station transmits the PMI2 value to the base station in the same subframe as a channel quality indicator (CQI) value. The CQI value may be either a wideband CQI value or a subband CQI value. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120014320 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLEXING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIGNALS AND SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNALS - A base station includes a transmit path circuitry that determines a PUCCH format 3 index and transmits an uplink grant to a subscriber station, the uplink grant including an indication of the PUCCH format 3 index. The base station also includes a receive path circuitry that receives a PUCCH format 3 signal in a subframe from the subscriber station. The receive path circuitry also receives a first demodulation reference signal for the PUCCH format signal in the first slot of the subframe, where the first demodulation reference signal is determined based at least partly upon a first demodulation reference signal cyclic shift number. The receive path circuitry also receives a second demodulation reference signal for the PUCCH format 3 signal in the second slot of the subframe, where the second demodulation reference signal is determined based at least partly upon a second demodulation reference signal cyclic shift number. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120020288 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PUCCH FEEDBACK IN 3GPP WIRELESS NETWORKS - A mobile station for use in a wireless network. The mobile station transmits feedback values in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a base station of the wireless network. The mobile station is operable to transmit to the base station a subband second precoder matrix index (PMI) associated with a particular subband and a subband channel quality indicator (CQI) value associated with the particular subband together in a subframe of the PUCCH. | 01-26-2012 |
