20140286273 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION DEVICE, MOBILE STATION DEVICE, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD - A terminal apparatus communicates with a base station apparatus using a plurality of downlink subbands and a plurality of uplink subbands. The terminal apparatus receives, in a downlink subband, response information for an uplink data transmitted in an uplink subband in accordance with setting information which is received from the base station apparatus and indicates a relationship between the uplink subband and the downlink subband used to receive the response information, where the uplink subband being one of the plurality of uplink subbands, and where the downlink subband being one of the plurality of downlink subbands. | 2014-09-25 |
20140286274 | METHOD AND CORRESPONDING APPARATUS FOR UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL POWER CONTROL - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for power control of a uplink control channel in a coordinated multi-point transmission system. The method comprises: performing the uplink control channel power control based on measured pathloss from a single reception point to the user equipment in a scenario of single-point reception of the uplink control channel; performing the uplink control channel power control by reducing uplink control channel transmission power of the user equipment to thereby reduce inter-cell interference incurred by multi-reception-point reception combining gain in a scenario of multi-point reception of the uplink control channel. Embodiments of the present invention further provide an apparatus for power control of a uplink control channel in a coordinated multi-point transmission system and a corresponding base station. | 2014-09-25 |
20140286275 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING CONTROL INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for acquiring control information, comprising: a step of receiving a plurality of first sequential indexes associated with a resource region via which downlink control information is transmitted; a step of determining a plurality of second indexes from the plurality of first indexes; and a step of determining control channel elements in the order of the resource regions according to the plurality of second indexes, and performing blind decoding wherein the determination o the plurality of second indexes is dependent on a transmission mode and/or downlink control information. | 2014-09-25 |
