20100182964 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM MEMORY MEDIUM PROVIDING EFFICIENT SIGNALING OF RACH RESPONSE - Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of apparatus, methods and memory medium storing computer program instructions for both a base station and a user equipment. For example, an apparatus includes a radio frequency transmitter and a controller configured to derive a resource assignment for a random access channel response for at least one user equipment. At least part of the resource assignment is specified explicitly and at least part of the resource assignment is specified implicitly. The controller is further configured to transmit a message that includes the derived resource assignment for the random access channel response to at least one user equipment. | 07-22-2010 |
20100260117 | TPC Command Signaling In Dl Control Channel Identifying the Target and Limiting Blind Decoding - The present invention provides a method for long term evolution in 3GPP. More particularly, the transmission of transmission power control command signaling in a down link control channel to user equipment. The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for identifying a target user equipment for a transmission power control command. The transmission power control command for physical uplink control channel and for persistent physical uplink shared channel assignments is transmitted via a downlink control channel format | 10-14-2010 |
20100322324 | MAPPING PHICH RESOURCES - Transmissions are received on a plurality of uplink physical resource blocks. An acknowledgement or negative acknowledgement for each of the received transmissions is mapped to a downlink channel, such that linear increasing sequential indices of the physical resource blocks map to linear increasing sequential indices of n groups of the downlink channel which repeat until all the physical resource blocks are mapped, in which the downlink channel comprises a plurality of n groups. | 12-23-2010 |
20110019637 | REPORTING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION - An approach is provided for reporting channel state information. The network configures parameters relating to periodic reporting of channel state information and generates a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting. | 01-27-2011 |
20110182245 | DATA INDICATOR FOR PERSISTENTLY ALLOCATED PACKETS IN A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An apparatus | 07-28-2011 |
20110222411 | REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL RECEPTION AND DECODING - A method for channel signaling is described. The method includes determining (e.g., by a UE) whether at least one DL subframe is a valid reference resource. If the at least one DL subframe is not a valid reference resource, reporting measurements of a DL channel measured during the at least one DL subframe is inhibited. The method may include determining (e.g., by an eNB) whether reporting of the at least one DL subframe of a DL channel is required. If reporting is not required, a message configured to cause the at least one UE to inhibit reporting measurements of the DL channel (e.g., CQI measurements) measured during the at least one DL subframe is sent to the UE. Determining whether the at least one downlink subframe is a valid reference resource is based at least in part on the message. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described. | 09-15-2011 |
20130229952 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AVOIDING INTERFERENCE BETWEEN MULTIPLE RADIOS IN A USER EQUIPMENT - In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus, comprising at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: deciding to switch to a half-duplex mode of operations upon detecting a triggering condition including that multiple radio stacks are activated at the apparatus simultaneously; signaling an associated base station the decision of switching to the half-duplex mode half-duplex mode; and entering the half-duplex mode of operation, is disclosed. | 09-05-2013 |
20140092868 | Direct Communication Among Devices - Method, operation of a method, and a result of execution of computer program instructions embodied on a non-transitory computer readable memory in a mobility management entity which determines whether a source and destination address of certain Internet protocol data flow are within a specific network in an evolved packet system for evaluating and controlling potential opportunities for device to device communication among two or more proximately located user equipment. In response to determining that the target serving gateway is the source gateway, identification information of the source user equipment is sent to a target serving gateway. | 04-03-2014 |
20140220936 | Direct Communication Among Devices - Method, operation of a method, and a result of execution of computer program instructions embodied on a non-transitory computer readable memory in a mobility management entity which identify, evaluate and control potential opportunities for device to device communication among two or more proximately located user equipment. The method or execution of computer instructions include, determining a context of a source user equipment and a context of a target user equipment, determining if the source and target user equipment are device to device communication compatible and determining if the source and target user equipment are authenticated for employing device to device communications. An alternative embodiment includes functionality in a base station. | 08-07-2014 |
