| 20090116570 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING CHANNEL QUALITY INDICATOR, PRECODING MATRIX INDICATOR AND RANK INFORMATION - A method and apparatus for generating channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and rank information are disclosed. The method and apparatus reduces feedback overhead and defines differential CQI information in an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbol. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090175214 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COOPERATIVE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method and apparatus for cooperation in wireless communications. Cooperation is considered among a number of network elements, including at least one wireless transmit-receive unit, at least one relay station, and at least one base station. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100008287 | SYSTEM LEVEL ARCHITECTURES FOR RELAYED UPLINK COMMUNICATION - A wireless communication method and apparatus are disclosed for assigning different phases, (i.e., time periods), to perform data transmissions over designated frequency bands in a cooperative relaying system. In phase 1, a relay station (RS) listens to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and successfully receives b information bits. In phase 2, the RS and WTRU cooperatively transmit these b information bits to the destination. These transmissions may be performed in a unicast scheme, wherein a WTRU sends information to a selected RS in phase 1, and the RS forwards the information to a base station (BS) in phase 2. The transmission may also be performed in a multicast scheme, wherein the WTRU sends information to the RS and the BS in phase 1, and the RS transmits a subset the information to the BS in phase 2. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100137017 | UPLINK POWER CONTROL FOR DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A method and apparatus for power control for distributed wireless communication is disclosed including one or more power control loops associated with a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). Each power control loop may include open loop power control or closed loop power control. A multi-phase power control method is also disclosed with each phase representing a different time interval and a WTRU sends transmissions at different power levels to different set of node-Bs or relay stations during different phases to optimize communications. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100315989 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COOPERATIVE RELAYING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method and apparatus for cooperative relaying in wireless communications is provided. An efficient and simplified relay scheme is disclosed that transitions between different modes on a per packet basis using scheduling information or switching information included in the packet, without requiring link reconfiguration. The cooperative relay scheme benefits further from the use of cooperative relaying protocols that emphasize centralized scheduling. One protocol emphasizes physical layer cooperation via synchronized transmissions and distributed space-time coding and the other protocol emphasizes medium access control (MAC) layer cooperation using different MAC flows or messages. | 12-16-2010 |
