摘要:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for determining and reporting channel information feedback for multi-carrier operation. In one aspect, channel information feedback parameters may be determined jointly across component carriers, and channel information feedback reports may be generated and reported individually per component carrier.

Increased symbol length of uplink pilot time slots (UpPTS) in special subframes is disclosed in which a configuration of a first special subframe may be independent from configuration of a second special subframe in the same frame, such that the first UpPTS of the first special subframe is longer than the second UpPTS of the second special subframe. The second UpPTS of the second special subframe may also be longer than legacy UpPTS length in select configurations. A serving base station may select the special subframe configurations in order to balance sounding reference signal (SRS) capacity for compatible user equipments (UEs) and downlink throughput for legacy UEs. The selected special subframe configurations may be transmitted by the serving base stations. In additional aspects, compatible UEs may be configured with at least two separate SRS power control parameters for use in the additional and legacy UpPTS symbols.

Techniques for supporting communication for different user equipments (UEs) on different system bandwidths are described. In one design, a base station transmits first control information to support communication for at least one first UE on a first system bandwidth and transmits second control information to support communication for at least one second UE on a second system bandwidth, which overlaps the first system bandwidth. The base station transmits data to the first and second UEs on the first and second system bandwidths, respectively. In one design, the base station receives third control information from the first UE(s) and fourth control information from the second UE(s) on a third system bandwidth. The base station receives data from the first UE(s) on the third system bandwidth and receives data from the second UE(s) on a fourth system bandwidth, which overlaps the third system bandwidth.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for implicitly linking aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) reports to CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. In an aspect, the UE may be instructed to report on specific CSI-RS resource(s) via explicit signaling in the UE grant. Other aspects disclose techniques for implicit CSI-RS resource selection by the UE that require fewer signaling resources. Instead of explicitly signaling CSI-RS resources to the UE, the UE may implicitly select CSI-RS resource for CSI feedback reporting based on information known to the UE, e.g. a subframe on which a reporting request is received. This may reduce the impact of the additional signaling in the UE grant.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for scaling transmission power. According to certain aspects, a technique for scaling transmission power may include scaling transmission power of one or more uplink channel symbols to be transmitted in a subframe, utilizing a first set of one or more scaling coefficients, scaling transmission power of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) symbols to be transmitted in the same subframe, utilizing a second set of one or more scaling coefficients, wherein the first set of scaling coefficients is different from the second set of scaling coefficients, and transmitting the scaled one or more uplink channel symbols and the scaled one or more SRS symbols utilizing the scaled transmission power values.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining cyclic shift (CS) values and/or orthogonal cover codes (OCC) for a plurality of demodulation reference signals (DM-RS) transmitted over multiple layers in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. A CS index can be received from a base station in downlink control information (DCI) or similar signaling. Based at least in part on the CS index, CS values for the plurality of DM-RSs can be determined. In addition, OCC can be explicitly signaled or similarly determined from the CS index and/or a configured CS value received from a higher layer. In addition, controlling assignment of CS indices and/or OCC can facilitate providing orthogonality for communications from paired devices in multiuser MIMO.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which resource elements compatible with multiple different communication protocols, which may not be compatible with one another, may be mapped to a radio frame. For example, in an LTE network, equipment configured to be compatible with 3GPP release 8 standards (herein referred to as Rel. 8) may have certain limitations as to what bandwidth is available for use and access, while these limitations may not apply to later releases of LTE standards after Rel. 8 (herein referred to as “New”). Thus, a system bandwidth can be extended to include an extension portion, to which resource elements compatible with the New protocol may be mapped, and a non-extension portion, to which resource elements compatible with either Rel. 8 or the New protocol may be mapped, providing an effective multiplexing of system resources.

Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate techniques for design of relay backhaul to support mobility of relay nodes in a wireless communication system. According to various aspects herein, techniques are provided to enable and support the use of mobile relays and to facilitate handover of mobile relays between respective donor cells. More particularly, techniques are provided herein for relay backhaul control channel assignment associated with hand in or hand out of mobile relays, access/backhaul resource partitioning for mobile relays, and management of quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a relay handover.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing flexible signaling of resource block assignments on a control channel. Resource blocks associated with an uplink or downlink channel can be split into a plurality of groups, and group-specific signaling constraints can be utilized with each of these groups. For example, the group-specific signaling constraints can relate to minimum resource block allocation units, signaling structures (e.g., bitmap structure, contiguous allocation structure, tree-based structure, . . . ), and the like utilized for sending assignment indications that allocate resource blocks within the respective groups. Further, an access terminal can have a common understanding of the group-specific signaling constraints; thus, a received assignment indication can be deciphered by the access terminal by utilizing the group-specific signaling constraints.
摘要:
Techniques for supporting fallback operation in a multi-carrier communication system are described. In one aspect, a UE may determine at least one first downlink control information (DCI) format to monitor on a first carrier. The UE may monitor for the first DCI format(s) on the first carrier to detect DCI sent to the UE. The UE may receive a reconfiguration message related to communication on a plurality of carriers by the UE with cross-carrier signaling, and may determine at least one second DCI format to monitor on the first carrier based on the reconfiguration message. The UE may monitor for the first DCI format(s) and the second DCI format(s) on the first carrier after receiving the reconfiguration message.
