摘要： Methods and apparatus to enable an extensible and scalable control channel for wireless networks. In one embodiment, an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) is disclosed that is implemented with a flexible number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). Advantages of the ePDCCH include, for example: more efficient spectral utilization, better frequency management across multiple serving entities (e.g., base stations and remote radio heads), and extensible payload capabilities that can scale to accommodate higher or lower control information payloads, as compared to prior art PDCCH solutions.

摘要： A coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission radio network is provided. Each cell in the CoMP network may include antenna nodes distributed at different geographical locations and coupled to a common baseband processing unit. When operating a user device in the CoMP network, the device may register with a neighboring baseband unit and may be served using at least one antenna node. The device may receive reference signals from different antenna nodes in its vicinity, compute receive signal strength levels, and report the measurements to the corresponding baseband unit. The baseband unit may then switch appropriate antennas in/out of use based on the measured results. If desired, the device may be served using more than one antenna node that may or may not be part of the same cell.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for improved packet data flow mobility and packet data distribution and collection across heterogeneous networks. In one embodiment, a source device with one or more wireless interfaces receives data to be transmitted to a target device. The device sequences the received data with corresponding packet sequence numbers according to characteristics of the service providing the data. The sequenced data is classified according to application/service requirements (e.g., minimum Quality of Service requirements, service type, etc.). The classified data is assigned to available network interfaces, which can support the classifications of the data. The data is transmitted over the assigned network interfaces to the corresponding receiving interface. The data is collected and reassembled according to the packet sequence number at the target destination.
