Abstract:
When a UE does not completely decode a packet transmitted from a base station, the UE may send ACK/NACK to the base station, upon which the base station may retransmit the packet based on the ACK/NACK. However, the ACK/NACK fails to provide the base station with information needed by the UE for completely decoding the packet. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a packet from a base station having a first MCS, determines information to provide to the base station, wherein the information comprises CQI relating to a channel condition and/or interference condition corresponding to time-frequency resources allocated for the received packet, and sends the information to the base station. Thereafter, the apparatus re-receives the packet from the base station, the re-received packet having a second MCS according to the information sent to the base station.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reporting Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). In certain aspects, a User Equipment (UE) may schedule switch from at least a first set of zero or more antennas used by the UE, to at least one second set of zero or more antennas, wherein the first and second sets differ by at least one antenna. The UE may determine a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) to be reported from the UE for use at a base station in a subsequent CQI subframe set, based at least on the scheduled switch. The UE may thereafter transmit the CQI to the base station.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methodologies are described that enhance performance in a wireless communication system using beamforming transmissions. According to one aspect, the channel quality is monitored. Channel quality indicators can be used to select a scheduling technique, such as space division multiplexing (SDM), multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) transmission and opportunistic beamforming for one or more user devices. In addition, the CQI can be used to determine the appropriate beam assignment or to update the beam pattern.
