Abstract:
A method and system for resource allocation is provided. A method includes identifying bit map information on a set of resource blocks associated with a control channel for a UE, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station; receiving, from the base station, control information for downlink data on the control channel identified based on the bit map information; and receiving, from the base station, the downlink data on a data channel based on the control information. The control information is received on at least one control channel resource, which is included in the set of resource blocks. A search space for the control channel of the UE is defined based on an aggregation level, a number of the at least one control channel resource included in the set of resource blocks, and a number of a candidate associated with the control channel.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for communicating with a terminal of a base station in a mobile communication system. Configuration information on a plurality of antenna ports of reference signals (RSs) which comprise first type antenna ports and second type antenna ports, is transmitted. Status information for at least one antenna port of an RS among the plurality of antenna ports of the RSs, is received. At least one indicator indicating at least one selected antenna port of an RS is transmitted based on the status information. The terminal is communicated with using the at least one selected antenna port of the RS. The first type antenna ports are for a centralized antenna and the second type antenna ports are for a distributed antenna.

The method includes determining a CSI-RS pattern to be used among CSI-RS pattern candidates, determining a muting pattern for muting some resource elements constituting CSI-RS pattern candidates except for the determined CSI-RS pattern, mapping data symbols and CSI-RS to resource elements in a resource grid with rate patching in consideration of the CSI-RS pattern and muting pattern, and transmitting the data symbols and CSI-RS to a terminal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving reference signals in Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems includes determining whether a dedicated reference signal is detected in a current subframe; estimating, if a dedicated reference signal is detected in the current subframe, a data channel using the dedicated reference signal to receive data; and estimating, if no dedicated reference signal is detected in the current subframe, a data channel using a common reference signal detected in the current subframe to receive data. The transmission scheme uses a DeModulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) for channel response estimation. To secure backward compatibility of the LTE-A system, a Common Reference Signal is transmitted in normal subframes.
Abstract:
In legacy systems such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) releases 8 to 10, the control channel is transmitted using the first few Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a subframe. The limited control channel capacity will impact the system performance in future releases as more and more User Equipments (UEs) will be scheduled in a subframe with technologies such as MulitUser-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission being enhanced or introduced. A new Enhanced Control CHannel (E-CCH) is necessary to be designed, which will use the resource in the Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) in the legacy systems. The E-CCH will support UE-specific DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) based transmission and receiving. However, the configuration of DMRS for E-CCH is necessary to be known to UE in prior. This invention discloses multiple methods in which DMRS is configured for E-CCHs and respective eNB and UE behaviors.
