Example methods, apparatus, articles of manufacture and systems for providing secondary coverage in a mobile communication system are disclosed. Example methods for a first device to provide secondary coverage in a mobile communication system include transmitting a secondary coverage signal and receiving a presence indication from a second device. Such example methods can also include reporting the presence indication to an access node of the mobile communication system. Such example methods can further include receiving information from the access node to enable relay node functionality in the first device in response to reporting the presence indication to the access node.

Providing secondary coverage in a mobile communication system

An apparatus, computer program, and method are provided for timing-based restriction of a data signaling direction. An operating cell is included in at least one of a plurality of groups with one or more other cells. In operation, a time is identified for restricting a direction of data signaling from the cell to a region, based on such time, while at least one of the one or more other cells of the at least one group is permitted to direct a data signaling thereof outside the region.

Apparatus, computer program, and method for timing-based restriction of a data signaling direction

A base station () assigns a set of mobile stations () to a group wherein the group will share a set of radio resources (). A shared control channel information element () is sent to the group of mobile stations () and provides a bitmap having fields for group ordering (), resource allocations (), continuation resources () for HARQ, and an ordering pattern (). If a mobile station requires retransmission it will access the resources indicated by the continuation resources field () in order to receive data. The HARQ blocks may be assigned to a mobile station based upon an index () which may correspond to the mobile station vocoder rate. Further, HARQ subgroups may be defined to associate subgroups of mobile stations with specific HARQ transmission opportunities on the super-frame and allocated by a rotating bitmap.

Apparatus and method for automatic repeat request with reduced resource allocation overhead in a wireless VOIP communication system

A method of operating an eNB in a wireless communication network is provided. The method comprises transmitting, by the eNB to a UE, configuration information of first and second sets of CSI-RS resources, wherein the first set of CSI-RS resources is used for long term measurement and the second set of CSI-RS resources is used for short term CSI feedback.

A system and method for interference mitigation in a wireless communications system are provided. A method for interference mitigation in a controller includes coordinating with other controllers to establish a cooperative agreement, receiving information from a communications device served by the controller, scheduling a transmission opportunity for the communications device based on an indicator and the cooperative agreement, and receiving a transmission from the communications device at the scheduled transmission opportunity.

System and method for interference mitigation in a wireless communications system

A method for transmitting control information in a telecommunications cell is provided. The method includes a transmission point in the cell transmitting a unicast PDCCH intended only for a specific UE in the cell. The unicast PDCCH contains at least one resource element in each resource element group. The at least one resource element contains a UE-specific DMRS that can be used for decoding the unicast PDCCH without the cell-specific reference signal.

A base station () assigns a set of mobile stations () to a group wherein the group will share a set of radio resources (). A shared control channel information element () is sent to the group of mobile stations () and provides a bitmap having fields for group ordering (), resource allocations (), failure handling resources (), and an ordering pattern (). If a mobile station fails to decode the shared control channel information element () it will access the failure handling resources in order to receive data. The failure handling channel may be persistent in some embodiments, or may be released after the mobile station is once again able to decode the shared control channel information element () and thereby share in the shared resource pool allocated to its mobile station group.

Apparatus and method for handling control channel reception/decoding failure in a wireless VoIP communication system

A method for managing control channel interference is provided. The method includes a first access node performing at least one of blanking and transmitting at lower than nominal transmit power on at least a portion of a control channel. The method further includes the first access node applying at least one of blanking and transmitting at lower than nominal transmit power only on the control region of chosen subframes, wherein a second access node transmits the control region of the chosen subframes at nominal transmit power.

Control channel interference management and extended PDCCH for heterogeneous network

A method, system and computer-usable medium for configuring UE-specific A-SRS subframes. More specifically, UE-specific Aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (A-SRS) subframes are defined only within a radio subframe.

Method for aperiodic SRS subframe configuration and signaling

A user equipment (UE) is provided. The UE comprises a processor. The processor is configured to receive an extended physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) in an E-PDCCH region that has been partitioned into at least two partitions. A first partition contains control channel elements (CCEs) with a first set of aggregation levels, and a second partition contains CCEs with a second set of aggregation levels.
