Abstract:
An example implementation includes determining, by a user device, that the user device is a low-latency mode user device; receiving a downlink data block in downlink subframe n; determining a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the data block; determining, by the low-latency mode user device, an uplink subframe n+k at a HARQ feedback offset of k subframes from subframe n, and one or more uplink HARQ resources for the uplink subframe n+k reserved for the HARQ feedback from the low-latency mode user device; and transmitting, by the low-latency mode user device, the HARQ feedback via subframe n+k and the one or more uplink HARQ resources.
Abstract:
A method and device for processing data in a wireless communication network is provided, where at least two resource pools for an uplink control channel are provided for mobile terminals for a geographical area, and where the mobile terminals in the geographical area uses at least one of the at least two resource pools for the uplink control channel. In addition, a corresponding device and system are suggested.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus can be configured to determine that a sub-symbol slot is an unoccupied sub-symbol slot. The unoccupied sub-symbol slot corresponds to an unoccupied operating channel. The unoccupied sub-symbol slot is located within the duration of a first symbol. The method may also comprise transmitting a reservation signal in at least one sub-symbol slot between the unoccupied sub-symbol slot and the beginning of a second symbol. The number of sub-symbol slots within the duration of the first symbol is larger than one.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for defining at least one channel reservation window the method comprising: setting length for each of the at least one channel reservation window such that each channel reservation window comprises a plurality of sub-frames; dividing the length of each channel reservation window into a transmission part and an idle part, wherein the idle part consists of one or more symbols in one sub-frame; maximizing, at a symbol level accuracy, the length of the transmission part such that a ratio between the length of the idle part and the length of the transmission part fulfills a predetermined criterion; and concatenating the transmission part and the idle part so as to form the channel reservation window.
Abstract:
Resources for reference signalling on at least one component carrier of a plurality of aggregated component carriers can be determined by a station. Information indicative the at least one component carrier and the associated resources is then communicated to another station for configuration of the other station. A trigger is then sent for reference signalling, and in response to the trigger, at least one reference signal is sent from the other station using the indicated at least one component carrier and resources.

Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for transmission power control are disclosed. A given transmission resource and a first transmission power are determined (202, 204) for transmission. Prior to transmitting on the given transmission resource it is determined (206) whether the resource is occupied or unoccupied. Upon detecting that the resource is occupied, a second, reduced transmission power is determined (210) such that a transmission using the second, reduced transmission power would not render the resource as occupied. The determination of the second transmission power is based at least partially on a predetermined maximum transmission power reduction value. Transmission (212) is done utilising the given transmission resource using the second transmission power according to the determination.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a corresponding apparatus relating to wireless telecommunication systems and more particularly to efficient resource allocation schemes supporting transmission of multiple periodic channel state information (CSI) reports on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) during the same subframe while maintaining single carrier properties of the transmitted signal. The method includes determining that at least two reports to be transmitted on an uplink resource collide with respect to the uplink resource, applying at least one resource selection policy to the at least two reports and selecting a resource to be used for transmitting a plurality of the at least two reports.
Abstract:
The application relates to channel state feedback reporting in wireless communication networks and in particular to modifications of the procedure for reporting CSI as specified by section 7.2 of 3GPP TS 36.213 V10.3.0. and the corresponding RRC protocol as specified by 3GPP TS 36.331 V10.2.0. The current cycle for CSI measurement and reporting is such that the UE performs separate CSI measurements for each report. However, the coverage area of CSI measurement reporting is lower than other uplink reporting such as e.g. ACK/NACK on PUCCH which supports subframe repetition, leading to an imbalance. Therefore, it is rather clear that it is highly beneficial to support coverage extension for CSI reports. The issue then arises as to how to realize the CSI coverage enhancement on top of existing/evolving CSI reporting framework. The application proposes to realize said CSI coverage enhancement by reporting (450) the same CSI report multiple times from the UE (110) to an eNB (220).
Abstract:
There is provided a mechanism for controlling a procedure for requesting resources for a communication in a communication network by a terminal device or UE. When the UE has selected a target cell from a plurality of communication cells, a message such as a resource request. A controller of a cell, such as an eNB, scans the reserved resources for receiving a message such as the resource request from a UE. The message is decoded by using identification information of the own cell and identification information of UEs being valid in the own cell. Then, it is determined whether the received message indicates as the target cell the own cell, and whether the UE is a known UE allocated to the own cell. Based on this determination, the message such as the resource request is processed or another cell is informed thereabout.
