20140241291 | METHOD FOR SIGNALLING A PRECODING IN A COOPERATIVE BEAMFORMING TRANSMISSION MODE - In a method for operating a secondary station in a network, the secondary station: controlling a transceiver configured for simultaneously receiving transmissions from a first primary station controlling a first cell and at least one second primary station controlling a second cell; selecting a first precoding matrix for the first cell out of a first set of precoding matrices for the first cell; selecting, depending on the first precoding matrix, in accordance with a precoding scheme, a subset out of a second set of precoding matrices for the second cell, the subset comprising at least one precoding matrix for the second cell; selecting a second precoding matrix for the at least one second cell out of the selected subset of precoding matrices; transmitting a first and second indicator representative of the respective first and second precoding matrix; wherein the second precoding matrix is based on the value of the first indicator, so that the amount of data used for transmitting the second indicator is less than the amount of data used for transmitting the first indicator. | 2014-08-28 |
20140241292 | ERROR CORRECTION FOR A PERSISTENT RESOURCE ALLOCATION - Methods and apparatus for communicating and utilizing persistent allocation of resources are described herein. A base station may allocate persistent resources to a client station, and may associate the client station or persistent resource allocation with a particular shared NACK channel. The base station may monitor the NACK channel for a NACK indicating a map error. The base station may monitor the resource allocation to implicitly determine a map error. The base station may resend one or more persistent resource allocation information elements in response to the NACK or implicit error determination. A client station having a persistent resource allocation may monitor persistent resource allocation information elements in map messages and/or may indicate failure to receive a persistent resource allocation information element in a NACK message on a shared NACK channel. | 2014-08-28 |
20140241293 | METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR COORDINATING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL INTERFERENCE - The present invention provides a method and a base station for coordinating physical downlink control channel interference, where, base stations of neighboring cells exchange PDCCH state information or PDCCH performance information, so that a victim cell can identify an aggressive cell according to the above information, and notify the aggressive cell of taking a measure to reduce effect of interference to a PDCCH of the victim cell. Thereby the aggressive cell takes the measure to achieve PDCCH interference coordination, and to reduce the effect of the interference from the aggressive cell to the PDCCH of the victim cell. Or the aggressive cell actively finds that it is a strong interference source to a PDCCH of a certain victim cell, and, accordingly, takes a measure to reduce effect of interference to the PDCCH of the victim cell actively. | 2014-08-28 |
20140241294 | Method and apparatus for communication with shortened signal formats - Techniques for addressing high interference observed by a receiver in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The receiver may observe different interference power levels across a transmission symbol. In an aspect, the receiver applies different weights to different portions of the transmission symbol to account for fluctuation of interference power across the transmission symbol. In another aspect, a transmitter may send a transmission symbol such that a receiver can ignore a portion of a symbol period with high interference. In one design, the transmitter generates a transmission symbol including at least two copies of a signal component. The transmitter transmits at least one copy of the signal component in a portion of the symbol period in which the receiver does not observe high interference. The receiver processes the at least one copy of the signal component to recover data sent in the transmission symbol. | 2014-08-28 |
20140241295 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION - The present disclosure provides a method and device for transmitting information. The method includes: configuring a first physical uplink control channel format and a second physical uplink control channel for a user equipment first. An orthogonal sequence of the first physical uplink control channel format and an orthogonal sequence of the second physical uplink control channel format correspond to different expansion factors. Then the user equipment selects one of the physical uplink control channel format and the second physical uplink control channel format to transmit the feedback information. | 2014-08-28 |
20140241296 | Cooperative Wireless Networks - A cooperative multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) system coordinates spatially distributed transceiver stations for communicating with wireless client devices. The system comprises a network interface communicatively coupled to the transceiver stations via a backhaul network, which may comprise a wireless local area network. A MIMO processor pre-codes N | 2014-08-28 |
