Appl. No.:

13/743202

Inventors:

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED - Dallas TX, US
Ralf Matthias Bendlin - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H04W 72/04

US Classification:

370329

Abstract:

A system and method for providing both localized and distributed transmission modes for EPDCCH is disclosed, where one EPDCCH comprises of one or multiple CCEs. Localized versus distributed transmission may be defined in terms of the EPDCCH to CCE resource mapping. In a localized transmission CCEs are restricted to be contained within one PRB. In a distributed transmission a CCE spans over multiple PRBs. A UE can be configured to either receive the EPDCCH only in localized or only in distributed transmissions. A UE can also be configured to expect EPDCCH transmissions in both localized and distributed transmissions. In each PRB configured by the higher layer as an EPDCCH resource, 24 REs that may be used for any DMRS transmission are always reserved and not used for EPDCCH transmission.

International Classification:

H04W 52/32
H04W 74/08

US Classification:

370329

Abstract:

Systems and methods for specifying UE power control allocation for simultaneous transmission of PRACH in a secondary serving cell and PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS in a different serving cell in another timing advance group are disclosed. Rules are provided for prioritizing transmission of PRACH and/or other UL channels/signals. Additionally, UE power allocation is controlled for misaligned subframes across different timing advance groups. Latency of UL synchronization for a secondary serving cell is reduced by prioritizing PRACH retransmission.

International Classification:

H04B 7/04

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

A method of operating a wireless communication system (FIG. ) is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of reference signals from a respective plurality of transceivers (). Each, of the plurality of reference signals is measured to produce a respective plurality of channel state information (CSI) measurements (). An aggregated channel quality indicator (CQI) is calculated from measuring the plurality of reference signals (). The aggregated CQI is transmitted to at least one transceiver of the respective plurality of transceivers ().

International Classification:

H04W 8/24

US Classification:

370280, 370328

Abstract:

A method of operating a wireless communication system is disclosed (FIG. ). The method includes receiving a virtual cell identification (VCID) parameter () from a remote transmitter. A base sequence index (BSI) and a cyclic shift hopping (CSH) parameter () are determined in response to the VCID. A pseudo-random sequence is selected in response to the BSI and CSH (). A reference signal is generated using the selected pseudo-random sequence ().

US Classification:

370329

Abstract:

A method of mapping control information in a wireless communication system is disclosed (FIG. ). The method includes forming a subframe (FIG. ) having a bandwidth and having plural regions (-). A base station (eNB) determines a communication mode with a remote user equipment. The base station maps control information specific to the user equipment into a first region of the subframe (). The base station also maps control information common to plural user equipments into a second region of the subframe (). The subframe is transmitted to the plural user equipments (, FIG. ).

H04W 72/04

Abstract:

Facilitating an interference leakage dependent resource reservation protocol in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise defining, by a system comprising a memory and a processor, a resource reservation procedure that associates respective amounts of reserved resources available for a mobile device based on a transmission beam width and a transmission power level of the mobile device. The method also can comprise selecting, by the system, an amount of reserved resources from the respective amounts of reserved resources available based on the transmission beam width and the transmission power level of the mobile device.

Abstract:

To facilitate signal alignment for an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, a system can determine a subset of beams that can be used for communication transmissions. Based on a signal quality associated with the subset of beams, the system can indicate that the subset of beams is to be used for the communication transmission. Consequently, the subset of the beams or another subset of the subset of the beams can be utilized for the communication transmission based on the signal quality of the beams.

International Classification:

H04L 5/00

Abstract:

Dual-connectivity for the User Equipment (UE) in a cellular network is performed by monitoring a plurality of cells. During dual-connectivity, the UE may be simultaneously connected to one serving cell for the Control Plane (C-plane) and to another serving cell, controlled by a different eNodeB, for the User Plane (U-plane). In another embodiment, the dual-connected UE monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) from the first eNB and monitors an EPDCCH from the second eNB.
