| 20100302983 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING DECODING FOR CARRIER POWER CONTROL - A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify power control commands within a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent, monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier, decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information and using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100303036 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING BLIND DECODING FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource grant within a wireless communication system wherein resource grants are received using control channel element (CCE) subsets wherein each CCE subset is a control channel candidate, wherein the UA is configured to decode up to M control channel candidates per time period for single carrier operation, the method comprising the steps of, at the user agent, identifying N control channel candidates that are distributed among C carriers wherein N is less than M×C, attempting to decode each of the N identified control channel candidates to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource grant and where a control channel candidate is successfully decoded, using the one of the uplink grant and the downlink grant to facilitate communication. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100304689 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING BLIND DECODING FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource grant within a wireless communication system wherein resource grants are specified by control channel element (CCE) subsets wherein each CCE subset is a control channel candidate, wherein the control channel is used for a plurality C of carriers, the method comprising the steps of, at the user agent, for each of the C carriers, (i) randomly identifying a UA specific search space including a control channel candidate subset for the carrier and (ii) attempting to decode each of the control channel candidates in the UA specific search space to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink grant associated with the carrier. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100316146 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHARING A CONTROL CHANNEL FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource allocated by a resource grant within a multi-carrier communication system wherein resource grants are specified by control channel element (CCE) subset candidates, the method comprising the steps of identifying the number of configured carriers used to communicate with the access device, based on the number of configured carriers used to communicate with the access device, identifying a number of CCE subset candidates to decode and decoding up to the identified number of CCE subset candidates in an attempt to identify the resource grant. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100317360 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHARING A CONTROL CHANNEL FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource allocated by a resource grant within a multi-carrier communication system wherein resource grants are specified by control channel element (CCE) subset candidates, the method comprising the steps of identifying the number of carriers used to communicate with the access device, based on the number of carriers used to communicate with the access device, identifying a number of CCE subset candidates to decode and decoding up to the identified number of CCE subset candidates in an attempt to identify the resource grant. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110035639 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING HARQ OPERATIONS DURING TRANSMISSION MODE CHANGES - A method and device for handling hybrid automatic repeat request (‘HARQ’) operations during transmission mode changes, the method detecting a transmission mode change; and manipulating an HARQ process buffer based on the detecting. Further, a method and network element for handling hybrid automatic repeat request (‘HARQ’) operations during transmission mode changes, the method checking when a user equipment is in a transmission mode uncertainty window; and blocking communications to the user equipment or utilizing a downlink control information format 1A for communications to the user equipment. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110064115 | TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Methods, devices, and systems for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system comprises receiving a downlink message, wherein the downlink message includes a first control channel element; determining a first index using the location of the first control channel element; determining a second index; determining a first orthogonal resource using the first index; determining a second orthogonal resource using the second index; spreading an uplink message using the first orthogonal resource to form a first spread signal; spreading the uplink message using a second orthogonal resource to form a second spread signal; transmitting the first spread signal using a first antenna; and transmitting the second spread signal using a second antenna. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110149886 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM ANTENNA MANAGEMENT - Methods and apparatus to perform antenna management are described herein. One example method of establishing communication between user equipment and a network includes receiving a control channel message, decoding the control channel message, and sending an indication of whether interoperability of receiving signals from a first number of antennas is certified for the user equipment. Other examples are shown and described. | 06-23-2011 |
