Data is extracted per FA from the downlink data. The data per sector is rearranged and re-mapped. The data per sector is transmitted to corresponding Remote Radio Units (RRUs). | 2013-08-01 |
| 20130195051 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION - A method is provided that includes allocating a first subset of resource elements (REs) of a physical resource block (PRB) to a mobile terminal and associating one or more first demodulation reference symbols (DM-RS) ports therewith. The first subset of REs and the one or more first DM-RS ports have common interference characteristics, thereby providing for enhanced interference suppression. The method also includes causing transmission of the PRB for reception by the mobile terminal. Corresponding apparatus and computer program products are also provided. | 2013-08-01 |
| 20130195052 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENT SPECTRAL USAGE IN EXTENSIBLE CARRIER DEPLOYMENTS - Methods and apparatus for providing efficient spectral usage in extensible carrier deployments. In one embodiment, the deployment comprises a long-term evolution (LTE) or LTE-advanced (LTE-A) network, and a reference carrier resource and one or more extensible carrier resources are configured based at least in part on a time and/or frequency separation. In one exemplary implementation, one or more reference carriers are combined with one or more carrier extensions/segments. The resulting aggregated bandwidth can be used to, among other things, optimize overall network operation. | 2013-08-01 |
| 20130195053 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method for transmitting data by a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a response signal for downlink data received from a user equipment and channel state information to a central coordinator, receiving scheduling information from the central coordinator and determining an interference control mode determined according to whether interference of adjacent base stations is controlled, based on the scheduling information, and transmitting data to the user equipment by using a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level according to the determined interference control mode. | 2013-08-01 |
| 20130195054 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WHITE SPACE OPERATION BY A MOBILE ENTITY - A method by an access point for wireless communication service includes receiving configuration parameters from a core network entity for operation as a base station using at least one non-white space (non-WS) bandwidth. The method further includes determining whether the received configuration parameters comprise an indication for the access point to use white space (WS) for the service. The method further includes requesting authorization information from a WS database to operate in the WS, in response to the received parameters comprising the indication. An access point comprising a processor, memory and transceiver may be configured to perform the elements of the method, using a computer-readable storage medium or other means. | 2013-08-01 |
| 20130195055 | SENDING AND REDUCING UPLINK FEEDBACK SIGNALING FOR WIRELESS TRANSMISSION OF DATA - A wireless transmit/receive unit includes at least one processor that receives a high speed physical downlink shared channel, and in response, transmits at least one random access channel preamble followed by ACK/NACK and channel quality indicator (CQI) information. The at least one random access channel preamble is selected from a set of random access preambles reserved for the ACK/NACK and CQI information. | 2013-08-01 |
