The WTRU sends another measurement report when a signal strength of the target cell exceeds that of the source cell. The WTRU monitors a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) on the target cell based on the pre-loaded HS-DSCH configuration information and decodes an HS-SCCH transmission. The WTRU determines whether a MAC-hs/ehs reset is required and if so resets a MAC-hs/ehs entity prior to receiving an HS-DSCH transmission from the target cell. | 2015-08-13 |

In this manner, such a user terminal may help avoid or compensate for imbalances in received radio frequency (RF) power between UL signals received from multiple user terminals by the AP. For example, the transmit power at each user terminal may be controlled in an effort to achieve a target post-processing C/I ratio of 28 dB per spatial stream in an effort to reduce large power imbalances and optimize throughput per user terminal. The user terminal and the AP may compose part of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system utilizing spatial-division multiple access (SDMA) techniques. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230188 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING STATIONS IN A COOPERATIVE STATION NETWORK - A method for operating a plurality of stations in a cooperative station network, wherein each of the stations transmits signals and receives signals from other stations, includes determining a path loss between at least two of the stations. A carrier sense range for signals of a first station of the stations is determined based on the path loss and received power of signals from the other stations. A load on a dedicated signal exchange channel is determined based on the determined carrier sense range. A maximum output power for the first station is determined based on the determined load. The first station is operated by adjusting the output power of the first station to be, at least on average below the determined maximum output power for the first station. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230189 | Base station, terminal, and power control methods thereof - Disclosed are a base station, a terminal and power control methods thereof, and the power control method for a base station, when the base station transmits information to a user terminal, includes: a first transmission power at which the data information is transmitted to the user terminal is acquired; a first strength of data interference on a terminal attributed to a neighboring base station is determined based on the first transmission power; it is determined whether a difference value between the first strength of the data interference and an interference threshold is larger than 0 to acquire a determination result; and if the determination result is larger than 0, the first transmission power is lowered to a second transmission power so that when the data information is transmitted at the second transmission power, a second strength of the data interference on the terminal attributed to the neighboring base station does not exceed the interference threshold, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that there is too excessive interference on other terminals when a base station transmits data signals. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230190 | POWER CONTROL FOR DEVICES HAVING MULTIPLE ANTENNAS - Power control for devices having multiple transmit antennas are disclosed, including power control methods for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmissions for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The PUCCH and SRS power control methods include selecting a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode and changing the power of the PUCCH or SRS transmission based on the selected MIMO mode. Another power control method estimates an antenna gain imbalance (AGI) for a WTRU having at least two transmit antennas. The AGI is based on measuring a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) on each transmit antenna. Each transmit antenna is then scaled by an AGI scaling factor based on the estimated AGI. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230191 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION POWER, AND APPARATUS FOR SAME - A method for controlling transmission power by a communication apparatus in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of component carriers. A total transmission power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is calculated for a PUSCH transmission on a first component carrier and a sounding reference symbol (SRS) for a SRS transmission on a second component carrier. The PUSCH transmission is prioritized rather than the SRS transmission if the PUSCH transmission overlaps with the SRS transmission in a time domain and the total transmission power exceeds a maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus. | 2015-08-13 |
