    摘要: The present invention discloses a network node (100) for multi-user scheduling involving retransmission. The network node comprises a receiver (110) adapted to receive channel quality indicator (CQI) report from a user equipment (UE), an adjuster (120) adapted to adjust signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) derived from the CQI report to obtain SINR for retransmission, a combiner (130) adapted to combine SINR for initial transmission and SINR for one or a plurality of retransmission to obtain effective SINR, and a scheduler (140) adapted to perform multi-user scheduling on the basis of priority metric derived from the effective SINR. The present invention improves multi-user scheduling by taking HARQ combining gain into account. Instantaneous throughput as well as priority metric can be accurately measured, because SINR from not only channel quality (e.g. CQI) but also HARQ processing gain are both included.

    摘要: According to the disclosure, there is provided a method for the UE to mitigate Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) interference (not only the other interference cells' CRS interference but also the serving cell's CRS interference) during ePDCCH/PDSCH demodulation. In one non-limiting embodiment, a CRS interference mitigation method may include steps of: determining CRS having been configured is not serving cell's CRS; and mitigating interference originating from the serving cell's CRS by referring to serving cell's CRS configuration. The present disclosure also relates to a UE for implementing the above CRS interference mitigation method.

    摘要: Downlink control information (DCI) extensions to support 3GPP Rel-10 functionalities comprise minimal extensions of DCI format 2B. In some embodiments, only two extra bits (20) are introduced to signal rank up to eight, by reusing the Scrambling Identity bit (16) while at the same time supporting different MU-MIMO dimensioning for the important cases of rank-1 and rank-2. This new DCI format can potentially support not only single cell downlink transmission but also some other Rel-10 functionalities, e.g. CoMP or relaying/HetNet.
