20100062716 | REFERENCE SIGNAL SEQUENCE REPRESENTATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A wireless communication device including a controller communicably coupled to a transceiver. In one embodiment, the controller generates a QPSK sequence having multiple elements wherein each element includes real and imaginary parts. In another embodiment, the sequence is selected from a groups of sequences stored on a user terminal. Thereafter, the controller generates a reference signal based on the information representative of the selected QPSK sequence. | 03-11-2010 |
20120164948 | INTERFERENCE MITIGATION IN A DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE RADIOS - A wireless terminal that supports operation on a first wireless technology and operation on a second wireless technology performs a first set of measurements on a received signal on first operating frequency of the first wireless technology, wherein the first set of measurements are performed during time periods that overlap time periods during which the wireless terminal transmits signals of the second wireless technology. The terminal also performs interference avoidance to avoid interference from transmissions of signals of the second wireless technology to reception of signals of the first wireless technology if the first set of measurements indicates interference due to transmission of signals of the second wireless technology by the wireless terminal. | 06-28-2012 |
20130044621 | SELF-INTERFERENCE HANDLING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL SUPPORTING CARRIER AGGREGATION - A wireless communication terminal that has the self-interference due to the support of carrier aggregation, aggregating and jointly using two or more component carriers for transmission and reception, performs a first set of measurements on a received signal on a first operating frequency, wherein the first set of measurements are performed during which the wireless terminal transmits or receives signals on a second operating frequency. In an alternative embodiment, the wireless communication terminal changes the maximum transmit power limit on a first operating frequency on a per-slot basis to reduce the impact of harmonic or intermodulation distortion on a received signal at a second operating frequency. | 02-21-2013 |
20130178221 | Method and Apparatus for Managing Transmit Power for Device-To-Device Communication - A method and apparatus for managing transmit power for device-to-device communication is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, a UE uses a component carrier of one cell to engage in D2D communication. In parallel with its D2D communication, the UE uses one or more other component carriers of one or more other cells to engage in cellular communication. The UE configures its D2D transmit power as well as its cellular transmit power so that its total transmit power does not exceed the UEs maximum power limit, and so that the transmit power on a component carrier of a cell does not exceed the maximum power limit for the cell that provides the component carrier. | 07-11-2013 |
20130287150 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEMODULATING A SIGNAL IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A joint soft output ML receiver that is able to reduce interference based on partial transmission information (i.e., without knowing the existence of other layers or other users and their modulation schemes) is described. In one implementation, the partial information based joint ML receiver can achieve performance that is similar to full information based joint ML receivers even when full information regarding the interfering UE is not available at the desired UE due to transparent Multi-user Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) transmission (such as with TM 8 and TM 9 transmissions in EUTRA LTE). | 10-31-2013 |
20130315157 | REDUCING THE EFFECTS OF INTERFERENCE EXPERIENCED BY A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Disclosed are methods for allowing a wireless communication device (or “user equipment” or “UE”) to receive signaling information when there is a power imbalance between a primary cell (“Pcell”) and a New Carrier Type (“NCT”) secondary cell (“Scell”). In one aspect, the UE reduces its downlink bandwidth to cover only a carrier of the Pcell, receives control signaling information, if present, and then increases its bandwidth to cover carriers of both the Pcell and Scell. | 11-28-2013 |
20140269338 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION - A first UE receives a first uplink-downlink configuration from a network entity via broadcast signalling. The first uplink configuration designates a first set of subframes of a series of subframes as uplink subframes. The first UE also receives a second uplink-downlink configuration via dedicated signaling. The second uplink-downlink configuration designates a second set of subframes of the series of subframes as uplink subframes. The first set of uplink subframes and the second set of uplink subframes differ from one another by at least one uplink subframe. | 09-18-2014 |
20150195820 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR ENHANCING SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY WITH NETWORK-ASSISTED ADVANCED RECEIVERS - Systems and methods for enhancing spectral efficiency are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The UE may be configured to cancel interference from an interfering eNB. The interfering eNB may provide transmission parameters to the UE. The interfering eNB may transmit a compact message indicative of the transmission parameters to the UE. The compact message may be a broadcast message. Some transmission parameters may be sent to the UE using higher layer signaling. The UE may be able to use the transmission parameters to cancel interference from the interfering eNB. In some embodiments, the interfering and/or serving eNB may indicate to the UE whether the transmission parameters are being broadcast so the UE does not search for them unnecessarily. | 07-09-2015 |
