  • TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY SCHEDULING
    Publication number: 20190281628
    Abstract: Scheduling of transmission opportunities to prevent collisions is contemplated. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled for terminal units where transmissions of one terminal unit may collide or otherwise interfere with transmissions of another terminal unit. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled according to a time-frequency grid to prevent collisions in a time domain and/or a frequency domain.

  • MULTI-CARRIER TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20170257206
    Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission system configured to enable variable modulation order reception is contemplated. The system may be configured to facilitate delivery of high-speed data (HSD) over frequency division duplexing (FDD) and/or time division duplexing (TDD) infrastructures to a plurality of receiving devices. Signaling used to facilitate delivery of the HSD may be selectively and dynamically modulated according to performance capabilities of the receiving devices for a given transmission interval.
