20090300458 | REVERSE LINK AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST - An Access Network (AN) can send an acknowledge message (ACK) to an Access Terminal (AT) to indicate that the AN has successfully decoded the data received in the first set of slots of the first data packet. The AN can send a negative acknowledge message (NAK) to the AT to indicate that the AN has not successfully decoded the data received in the first set of slots of a first data packet. Based upon receipt of the NAK, the AT can resend the data by sending a second set of slots of the first data packet containing redundant data. Based upon receipt of the ACK, the AT can send a first set of slots of another packet. The AT can gate off for a predetermined period of time after sending the first set of slots of a first packet and before sending a next set of slots. | 12-03-2009 |
20110235568 | REPEATER-ASSISTED MANAGEMENT OF MACRO NETWORK COVERAGE - A method of managing macro network coverage among a plurality of repeaters deployed to extend coverage of one or more base stations may include receiving feedback information from at least two repeaters indicative of macro network coverage at locations corresponding to each repeater, determining a coverage status of the macro network based on the feedback information, and sending a control signal to at least one repeater instructing the repeater to adjust one or more operating parameters based on the determined coverage status. | 09-29-2011 |
20120269115 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE RESOURCE MULTIPLEXING IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method of wireless communication includes determining resources available for peer discovery. The resources include first peer discovery resources with a first time interval and second peer discovery resources with a second time interval less than the first time interval. The method further includes communicating peer discovery signals through a first subset of peer discovery resources of the first peer discovery resources and a second subset of peer discovery resources of the second peer discovery resources. The second subset of peer discovery resources includes less resource elements than the first subset of peer discovery resources. | 10-25-2012 |
20120269250 | PEER DISCOVERY IN A WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK SYSTEM - A method of wireless communication of a wireless device includes receiving a signal indicating WWAN resources that can be utilized for communicating peer discovery signals. In addition, the method includes communicating an OFDM peer discovery signal in the WWAN resources. A method of wireless communication of a base station includes transmitting a signal to a wireless device indicating WWAN resources dedicated for a silence interval that can be utilized for communicating peer discovery signals. The WWAN resources dedicated for a silence interval include a first subset of resources and a second subset of resources. The method further includes measuring noise in the first subset of resources and refraining from measuring noise in the second subset of resources. | 10-25-2012 |
20130010661 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR OFDM PEER DISCOVERY - A method of wireless communication includes splitting data into n data sets, where n is greater than or equal to two. In addition, the method includes selecting n different resources associated with a resource identifier based on a hopping pattern for sending each of the data sets within a set of resources of one full set of transmissions. The selected n resources have a hopping pattern such that there is at least one resource of the n resources that is non-overlapping in time with resources associated with resource identifiers other than said resource identifier. Furthermore, the method includes sending m data sets on m selected resources in m transmissions within the one full set of transmissions, where m is less than or equal to n. | 01-10-2013 |
20130122917 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TIME AND FREQUENCY TRACKING IN CLUSTERED FEMTOCELL DEPLOYMENTS - Methods and apparatuses are provided for synchronizing timing or frequency of a femto node in a cluster. A femto node can determine that one or more synchronization signals are associated with a master femto node in a cluster of femto nodes, where femto nodes are to synchronize timing or frequency to the master femto node. The femto node can obtain timing or frequency information from the one or more synchronization signals and synchronize a local timing or a local frequency based at least in part on the timing or frequency information. | 05-16-2013 |
20130315143 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAST CLOSED-LOOP RATE ADAPTATION IN A HIGH RATE PACKET DATA TRANSMISSION - In a high data rate communication system capable of variable rate transmission, an open loop rate control can be adjusted with a closed loop rate control to maximize throughput. An access point generates interleaved multi-slot packets that allow an access terminal to transmit indicator messages to the access point in accordance with recently received data carried within slots of the multi-slot packets. | 11-28-2013 |
20140112158 | ARCHITECTURE FOR RELAYS IN LTE USING D2D - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives downlink data from a base station via a downlink resource, sends the downlink data to a user equipment (UE) via an uplink resource, receives uplink data from the UE via the uplink resource, and sends the uplink data to the base station via the uplink resource. The apparatus also determines at least one of an observed downlink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or an observed uplink interference. The apparatus then broadcasts a relay availability based on the determination that the at least one of the downlink SINR observed is greater than a first threshold or the uplink interference at the relay is less than a second threshold. | 04-24-2014 |
