To provide a mechanism for deactivating a semi-persistent resource allocation in a LTE system which is not requiring any changes to the Physical layer-to-MAC layer interface and/or preferably no changes to the PDCCH formats agreed by the 3GPP a combination of NDI value and MCS index is defined that is commanding the release of SPS resources. Alternatively, another solution proposed to define a special transport block size that when signaled in a PDCCH is commanding the release of SPS resources. | 2013-01-31 |
20130028213 | EFFECTIVE METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING CONTROL INFORMATION FOR SUPPORTING UPLINK MULTI-ANTENNA TRANSMISSION - Disclosed is a method for transmitting control information on uplink multi-antenna transmission from a base station and the method includes: transmitting DCI that schedules uplink transmission of a first data block and a second data block through a PDCCH; receiving the first and second data blocks scheduled by the DCI; transmitting information indicating ACK or NACK for the received first and second data blocks, respectively, by using a first PHICH for the first data block and a second PHICH resource for the second data block; receiving a retransmission for a negative-acknowledged data block; and transmitting information indicating ACK or NACK of the retransmission of the negative-acknowledged data block by using the first PHICH resource when the number of negative-acknowledged data blocks is not identical to the number of data blocks that the PDCCH indicates. | 2013-01-31 |
20130028214 | TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION POWER CONTROL METHOD AND TRANSMISSION DETERMINATION METHOD - Provided is a transmission device, wherein even when the transmission device performs noncontiguous band allocation transmission, the same level of coverage and gain as when the contiguous band allocation transmission is assumed can be maintained.

20130028215 | METHOD FOR SCHEDULING USERS IN A MOBILE OR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CORRESPONDING MOBILE TERMINAL AND BASE STATION - The present invention relates to a method for scheduling users in a mobile or wireless radio communication system comprising a base station with a multiple antenna system and at least two users, said base station communicating with users using precoding weights at said multiple antenna system, an indication on precoding weights to be used for communication with a first user being sent by said first user on a feedback channel to said base station. According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: •Expressing said precoding weights used at said multiple antenna system as a combination of two types of precoding weights, a first type of precoding weights relating to long term channel information and a second type of precoding weights relating to short term channel changes; •Sending on said feedback channel from said first user an indication related to precoding weights of said first type which, if used at said multiple antenna system for communication with a second user, would cause interference below a threshold on said first user if both said first and second users were scheduled on identical resources. | 2013-01-31 |
