Abstract:
Channel data for a plurality of OFDM tones for one or more spatial or space-time streams are determined. A plurality of angle values associated with the one or more spatial or space-time streams and the one or more OFDM tones of the plurality of OFDM tones are determined. For each of the one or more spatial or space time streams, a per-tone signal to noise ratio (PT-SNR) associated with one or more OFDM tone of the plurality of OFDM tones is determined, and an average signal to noise ratio (avg-SNR) is determined by averaging signal to noise ratio (SNR) values corresponding to one or more OFDM tones of the plurality of OFDM tones. A feedback report is generated to include at least i) the plurality of angle values, ii) the PT-SNRs, and iii) the avg-SNR.
Abstract:
A method for a user equipment (UE) performing measurements is provided. The UE performs measurements for a first cell and measurements for a second cell. If the first cell corresponds to a primary cell, a first measurement subframe pattern is applied to perform the measurement for the first cell. If the second cell does not correspond to the primary cell and if the second cell is in a deactivated state, a measurement timing configuration for a discovery signal is applied to perform the measurement for the second cell.
Abstract:
A method is provided for performing a measurement. The method may be performed by a user equipment (UE) that selects at least one or more subframes to perform the measurement, and performs the measurement for a discovery signal of a neighbor cell on the selected one or more subframes. For the measurement on the selected one or more subframes, both of a measurement subframe pattern for the neighbor cell and a measurement timing configuration for the discovery signal are applied.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to wireless terminal reporting alternative selection for a fixed bit size control information request report, e.g., a 4 bit uplink traffic channel request report, are described. A wireless terminal maintains a plurality of different request groups corresponding to uplink traffic to be transmitted. The same request report format includes a plurality of reporting alternatives, different reporting alternatives corresponding to different request groups. Backlog can and sometimes does exist simultaneously corresponding to request groups corresponding to different reporting alternatives. The wireless terminal uses priority information associated with the request groups having non-zero backlog to select a reporting alternative. In some embodiments, at least some of the request groups have priorities which are calculated by the wireless terminal and change as a function of determined transmission deadline information.
Abstract:
A first communication device receives a plurality of training signal fields in a preamble of a data unit transmitted by a second communication device, the plurality of training signal fields in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols comprising data and pilot tones. The first communication device determines first channel estimate data corresponding to the data tones in the OFDM symbols, and uses pilot tones in the plurality of training signal fields to track at least one of i) a phase offset and ii) a frequency offset while receiving the plurality of training signal fields to improve the first channel estimate data. The first communication device generates feedback data that i) includes data corresponding to the first channel estimate data, and ii) excludes data corresponding to second channel estimate data for the pilot tones in the plurality of training signal fields, and transmits the feedback data to the second communication device.
Abstract:
In a method for estimating a channel between a transmitter and a receiver in a communication network, a plurality of training signal fields are received at the receiver. Each training signal field includes a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) tones, and the OFDM tones include at least a plurality of training data tones and one or more pilot tones. Channel estimate data corresponding to the plurality of training data tones and the one or more pilot tones is determined. Channel estimate data corresponding to only a subset of the OFDM tones or data generated using the channel estimate data corresponding to the subset of OFDM tones is transmitted to the transmitter, wherein the subset excludes pilot tones.
