Abstract:
Techniques for reporting channel quality information (CQI) in a multi-carrier wireless communication system are disclosed. In one aspect, a user equipment determines one or more reporting groups, each comprising a plurality of component carriers which are configured for the user equipment. The user equipment may detect a trigger from a base station that selects a reporting group and may respond to the trigger by sending CQI for at least the activated component carriers in the selected reporting group.
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more aspects and corresponding disclosure thereof, various aspects are described in connection with channel state information (CSI) for a plurality of downlink carriers. In providing the CSI from a user equipment (UE), respective CSI reports may be determined for the plurality of downlink carriers. The respective CSI reports may be scheduled to be conveyed on a plurality of uplink carriers in a subframe. A determination may be made as to whether the UE is power limited for that subframe. Based at least in part on the determination, the respective CSI reports may be transmitted on the plurality of uplink carriers in the subframe, or transmitted on a subset of the plurality of uplink carriers in the subframe, or dropped.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication provides narrow bandwidth operation within a wider LTE system bandwidth. Wideband information is transmitted to a first set of user equipments (UEs). Also, narrowband information is transmitted to a second set of UEs. The second set of UEs operate in a narrower bandwidth than the first set of UEs.
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more aspects and corresponding disclosure thereof, various aspects are described in connection with channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback in connection with one or more downlink carriers. An anchor carrier scheme is employed to provide channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback of one or more downlink carriers. An indication is set to identify that a designated uplink carrier is used to convey the CQI feedback. An uplink carrier is selected from a set of uplink carriers as an anchor carrier to convey the CQI feedback. CQI feedback is transmitted for one or more downlink carriers using the designated carrier.

Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate selecting an uplink carrier for random access within a wireless environment having multiple carriers. Selection of an uplink carrier for random access can be randomly selected from a set of available uplink carriers. Additionally, the uplink carrier for random access can be selected based upon which uplink carrier is paired with an anchor carrier. Further, the uplink carrier for random access can be identified based upon a bandwidth related to the user equipment (UE). Reference signals can also be employed in order to identify an uplink carrier to perform random access.
Abstract:
Techniques for sending control information on uplink channels are disclosed. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may determine its current configuration for concurrent transmission of a control channel and a shared channel. The UE may select one or more channels, from among the control channel and the shared channel, to send control information of at least one type in a same subframe. The UE may select the one or more channels based on the types of control information to send, the current configuration for concurrent transmission of the control channel and the shared channel, whether the UE is scheduled for data transmission on the shared channel in the subframe, whether the UE has sufficient transmit power to transmit both the control channel and the shared channel, etc. The UE may send the control information on the one or more selected channels in the subframe.
