  • Patent number: 9386545
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are directed towards controlling power of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 1b for advanced time division duplex. If HARQ-ACK bundling is not applied, then nHARQ associated with the PUCCH is determined based on a number of received transport blocks and SPS release physical downlink control channels in subframes i-km. If HARQ-ACK bundling is applied and a number of assigned resource blocks equal to 2, then nHARQ associated with the PUCCH is determined based on a number of received physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH) and semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) in the subframes i-km.

  • Patent number: 9225447
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for transmitting an aperiodic SRS in a TDD system. In the technical solution of the present invention, a symbol is defined for the transmission of the aperiodic SRS in a special subframe in the TDD system. This avoids a scenario in which the transmission position of the aperiodic SRS is undefined when a plurality of symbols that can be used to transmit the aperiodic SRS are available in an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS). The problem of transmitting aperiodic SRS in a TDD system special subframe is thus solved. The modification to corresponding instruction messages is not extensive, and there is no overuse of system resources.

  • Patent number: 9185722
    Abstract: The mobile station described herein comprises a transmission buffer, a receiver, a transmitter, and a controller. The controller triggers a scheduling request and buffer status report when data enters the transmission buffer. When the receiver receives a contention-based scheduling grant allocating contention-based uplink resources, the transmitter transmits one or more data packets retrieved from the transmission buffer along with the buffer status report on the contention-based resources to the network station. If one or more data packets remain in the transmission buffer after transmission of the buffer status report on the contention-based resources, the controller maintains the pending status of the buffer status report and the corresponding scheduling request.

  • Patent number: 9088513
    Abstract: An output rate controller has a TS packet buffer, a maximum value increase detector, a minimum value decrease detector and an output controller. The TS packet buffer accumulates input packets. The maximum value increase detector detects an increasing trend of the maximum number of packets being accumulated in the TS packet buffer within a fixed time period. The minimum value decrease detector detects a decreasing trend of the minimum number of packets being accumulated in the TS packet buffer within a fixed time period. The output controller sets a higher output rate of packets being accumulated in the TS packet buffer if an increasing trend has been detected by the maximum value increase detector, and sets a lower output rate of packets being accumulated in the TS packet buffer if a decreasing trend has been detected by the minimum value decrease detector.
