Abstract:
A system, method and node for modulation and coding scheme adjustment for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) shared Data Channel. The method determines an actual number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, NOS utilized for the shared Data Channel. A modulation order for transmission of data on the shared Data Channel is increased when the actual number of OFDM symbols NOS is less than 11 and decreased when NOS is more than 11. A modulation and coding scheme field (IMCS) of a downlink control information of the shared Data Channel may also be determined. If 0≦IMCS+11−NOS≦28, the modulation order is modified by utilizing a factor of (IMCS+11−NOS) in a standardized modulation scheme. If it is determined that IMCS+11−NOS 28, the modulation order is set to 64 Quadtrative Amplitude Modulation (64QAM).

Abstract:
In a method of operating a communication network (20) a time division duplex (TDD) frame (F) of information is communicated over a radio interface (32) between a wireless terminal (30) and a base station node (28). The method comprises the wireless terminal (30) receiving plural downlink (DL) subframes of the frame and, in response thereto, configuring a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) channel to comprise up to four acknowledgements by using only two PUCCH channel resources and using PUCCH format 1a or PUCCH format 1b. In an example embodiment a PUCCH channel resource is specified by a sequence utilized for transmission of at least part of the PUCCH channel and a cyclical shift applied to the sequence. The two sequences of the respective two PUCCH resources are orthogonal, and the cyclical shift of the two PUCCH resources can be in a frequency domain, a time domain, or both the frequency domain and the time domain.
Abstract:
A method, transmitter node, and receiver node for communicating a transport block of information bits from the transmitter node to the receiver node are provided. The transmitter node encodes the information bits and divides the coded bits into antenna selection bits and modulation bits. The antenna selection bits are used to select a transmit antenna from a plurality of transmit antennas. The modulation bits are used by a modulator to select modulation symbols for transmission utilizing the selected antenna. The receiver node receives the radio signal with a front-end receiver and computes a plurality of combined signals, each corresponding to one hypothesized transmit antenna at the transmitter node. The receiver forwards the plurality of combined signals to a soft value computer, which computes soft values for the antenna selection and modulation bits. The soft values are combined and decoded to produce decision bits for recovering the transport block.

Abstract:
A transmitting node uses different reference signal sequences for different types of enhanced control channels. An example method begins with generating (1410) a first reference signal sequence, from a first initialization value, and generating (1420) a second reference signal sequence, from a second initialization value. These reference signal sequences are associated with two corresponding enhanced control transmissions. A first enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the first reference signal sequence are transmitted (1430), using first time-frequency resources and a first set of transmission points or a first set of antenna ports or both, and a second enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the second reference signal sequence are also transmitted (1440), using a differing second set of transmission points and/or a differing second set of antenna ports and/or a differing second set of time-frequency resources, in the same subframe or group of subframes.
