| 20080268860 | Coherent and non-coherent control signaling - A method is provided where unused uplink code resources of a shared control resource are used for non-coherent acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement transmission to increase the total number of user equipment that can be supported. The method including defining a shared uplink control resource to include N out of a possible M uplink control resources as being coherent uplink control resources, where M>N, defining at least one of the remaining M−N uplink control resources as non-coherent uplink control resources, and assigning the N coherent uplink control channel resources and the at least one M−N non-coherent uplink control resources to user equipment as needed. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090129317 | ACK/NACK DTX detection - In a first aspect of the invention there is a method, apparatus, and executable software product for receiving scheduling information, determining that at least one downlink allocation of the scheduling information was not received, sending a reply to the received scheduling that comprises an indication of discontinuous transmission in response to the determining. In another aspect of the invention there is a method an apparatus to send scheduling information, and receive a reply to the scheduling information comprising an indication of discontinuous transmission that at least one downlink allocation of the scheduling information was not received. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090232067 | ACK/NACK channelization for resource blocks containing both ACK/NACK and CQI - In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: transmitting a value from an access node towards an apparatus, where the value is indicative of a size of a first portion of an uplink resource block, where the uplink resource block is shared among a plurality of apparatus, where the first portion is specified for transmission of a first type of signaling to the access node, where a second portion of the uplink resource block is specified for transmission of a second type of signaling to the access node; and receiving at least one transmission using at least one of the first portion and the second portion. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090245198 | Channelization procedure for implementing persistent ACK/NACK and scheduling request - In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: configuring a common resource space having a plurality of time-frequency resources and code resources, where the common resource space includes a first portion for a first type of signaling and a second portion for a second type of signaling, where the first type of signaling includes at least one of persistent acknowledgement signaling and scheduling request signaling, where the second type of signaling includes dynamic acknowledgement signaling; and allocating, based on the configured common resource space, resources of the common resource space for the at least one of persistent acknowledgement signaling and scheduling request signaling. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090303951 | Channel quality signaling for persistent/semi-persistent radio resource allocations - A persistent or a semi-persistent uplink resource allocation also includes an indication for a user equipment UE to send channel quality reports. The format for the channel quality report is determined (based on a transmission mode for which the UE receives a downlink shared channel). In at least first transmissions of user data for instances of the persistently allocated uplink resource the UE sends user data and a channel quality report according to the determined format. For the case that a NACK is received in reply to one of those sent user data with channel quality reports, four options are detailed: re-send the NACK'd user data on a next instance of the persistently allocated UL resource with or without a channel quality report, and re-send the NACK'd user data on a dynamically allocated uplink resource with or without a channel quality report. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100142467 | Resource Allocation Technique For Physical Uplink Control Channel Blanking - The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus for defining a set of parameters to establish a possibility for a single user equipment to transmit uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel via two or more clusters including adjacent resource blocks, where at least one of the clusters includes at least one blanked physical uplink control channel resource block and where at least one of the clusters includes at least one physical shared channel resource block, and transmitting the parameters to at least the single user equipment. Further, the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and apparatus for receiving a set of parameters defining a physical uplink control channel and allocating physical/virtual resource blocks based at least on received physical uplink control channel configuration parameters, a received resource allocation and predefined physical resource block mapping rules. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100202311 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CHANNEL STATE REPORTING - An approach is provided for optimizing the timing scheme for channel state reporting. A platform determines an offset value for each of a plurality of user equipment. The offset value relates to timing between a channel state measurement point and a corresponding point for reporting of the channel state measurement. The platform further initiates signaling of the offset values to the respective user equipment. | 08-12-2010 |
