Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes measuring, by a first device, a condition of a wireless channel; and generating at least one channel side information feedback message based on the measured condition of the wireless channel. The at least one channel side information feedback message provides information on a relationship of a set of parameters, including a data rate parameter, an error probability parameter, and at least one of a deadline parameter or a transmission link parameter. A second method includes measuring, by a first device, interference on a wireless channel; identifying an interfering device for the wireless channel based on the measurement; and generating a channel side information feedback message based on the measured interference on the wireless channel. The channel side information feedback message indicates the interfering device for the wireless channel and a correlation of interference from the interfering device with time or frequency.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The method may be performed by a scheduling entity. The scheduling entity transmits control information in a control portion of the subframe, the control information corresponding to data information within the subframe, transmits the data information in a data portion of the subframe, receives a pilot signal from the set of subordinate entities in a pilot portion of the subframe, and receives an ACK/NACK signal from the set of subordinate entities in an ACK portion of the subframe. The ACK portion is subsequent to the pilot portion of the subframe. The ACK/NACK signal includes acknowledgment information corresponding to the data information. The control portion, the data portion, the pilot portion, and the ACK portion are contained in the same subframe.
Abstract:
Various features pertain to mitigating interference on downlink/uplink channels caused by bursty traffic transmissions. A transmitting node encodes data into transport blocks, each including code blocks in which the data is encoded. The transport blocks are then wirelessly transmitted over a channel specific to a receiving node, where the code blocks of the transport blocks are transmitted without redundant parity code blocks or with a desired amount of redundant parity code blocks. The transmitting node then receives an indication from the receiving node of a number of failed data code blocks. The transmitting node generates an error correction code sufficient to recover all of the failed code blocks and transmits the error correction code within a new transport block along with new data. The receiving node receives the new transport block including the error correction code and then recovers the failed code blocks from the error correction code via erasure decoding, a combination of erasure decoding and error decoding, and/or other suitable techniques at the code block level.
Abstract:
An apparatus may utilize an air interface to transmit and/or receive a subframe having a data portion and a control channel that is at least partly embedded within the data portion. The control channel may include one or more pilot tones. The control channel may include an override indicator. The override indicator may indicate that data previously scheduled for transmission in the subframe is overridden by other data having a higher priority. The override indicator may indicate a puncturing of resource elements in the data portion of the subframe to include other data having a priority higher than data previously scheduled for transmission in the subframe. The control channel may include a modulation indicator when the subframe is included in a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission. The modulation indicator may indicate information corresponding to a modulation of another apparatus that is included in the MU-MIMO transmission.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. An exemplary method includes receiving, at a first device, a pre-scheduling message for a downlink transmission from a second device; transmitting a scheduling message to the second device in response to receiving the pre-scheduling message; and receiving the downlink transmission in accordance with the at least one downlink transmission parameter of the scheduling message. The scheduling message may include at least one downlink transmission parameter. Another exemplary method includes transmitting, to a first device, a pre-scheduling message for a downlink transmission; receiving, from the first device, a scheduling message comprising at least one downlink transmission parameter; and transmitting the downlink transmission to the first device in accordance with the at least one downlink transmission parameter of the scheduling message.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are disclosed to enhance the efficiency of available bandwidth between UEs and base stations. A UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the base station. The base station characterizes the uplink channel based on the SRS received and, using reciprocity, applies the channel characterization for the downlink channel. As part of applying the channel information, the base station forms the beam to the UE based on the uplink channel information obtained from the SRS. The UE may include an array of antennas, each UE transmitting a different SRS that the base station receives and uses to characterize the downlink. Multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) transmit SRS at the same time and frequency allocation (non-orthogonal), but with each sending its own unique SRS. Further, multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) may send their SRS at unique time/frequency allocations (orthogonal).
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are disclosed to reduce pilot overhead by providing common reference signals coded with cover codes that are orthogonal in time and frequency domains. Common reference signals that are coded by cover codes orthogonal in both domains can be de-spread in both the time and frequency domains for improved resolution and larger pull-in windows for both. Also disclosed is semi-uniform pilot spacing in both the frequency and time domains. In a time domain, a first pilot symbol pair is spaced by a first time interval from each other and a second pilot symbol pair is spaced by a second time interval from the first pair, the second interval being greater than the first. In a frequency domain, a first set of pilot symbols is densely placed in a selected frequency band and a second set of pilot symbols is sparsely placed surrounding and including the selected frequency band.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. In one method, a first transmission may be transmitted on a contention-based channel, and a scheduling request for the first transmission may be transmitted on a scheduled channel. The scheduling request may be transmitted prior to determining that an acknowledgment (ACK) message has been received for the first transmission. In another method, a scheduling request for a first transmission may be received on a scheduled channel from a wireless device. Upon decoding a reception of the first transmission on a contention-based channel, transmission of a transmission grant to the wireless device may be withheld. Upon failing to decode the reception of the first transmission on the contention-based channel, the transmission grant may be transmitted to the wireless device.
Abstract:
Various aspects described herein relate to communicating hybrid automatic repeat/request (HARQ) feedback. HARQ feedback related to a HARQ communication over one or more links can be received from a user equipment (UE), wherein the HARQ feedback includes at least one or more interference parameters and/or one or more predicted interference parameters. A rate control loop for each of one or more interference patterns corresponding to each of the one or more links can be maintained based at least in part on the one or more interference parameters. A scheduling grant can be generated for the UE for another instance of the HARQ communication based at least in part on the rate control loop and the one or more predicted interference parameters.
Abstract:
Adaptive pilot signaling is disclosed in which resources allocated to pilot symbols are allowed to vary to more closely match channel conditions. User equipments (UEs) may request different pilot configurations depending on channel conditions. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first set of pilot symbols using a first number of resource elements during a first transmission time interval (TTI), and receiving a second set of pilot symbols using a second number of resource elements during a second TTI. In the embodiment, the first TTI and the second TTI include the same number of resource elements, and the first number of resource elements is different than the second number of resource elements.
