  • Patent number: 10567140
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) allocation and a method for CSI-RS transmission using the same in a wireless communication system. A CSI-RS for each antenna port is allocated to REs or subcarriers on a basis of a symbol or symbol axis in a subframe or Resource Block (RB), and is allocated in such a manner that a distance between neighboring CSI-RS allocation REs or subcarriers may be 3 REs or subcarriers. Accordingly, in the range of following CSI-RS transmission overhead, CSI-RSs are allocated to a time-frequency resource domain in such a manner so as to have perfect orthogonality or quasi-orthogonality according to cells or cell groups. Then, the CSI-RSs, which have been allocated to the time-frequency resource domain, are transmitted.

  • Patent number: 10542500
    Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems for determining a transmit power in a mobile device include receiving, in the mobile device, a cell-wide power control parameter related to a target receive power at a serving base station. Thereafter, a transmit power is calculated in response to the cell-wide power control parameter and an implicit mobile-specific power control parameter. The mobile device then transmits using the transmit power. The cell-wide power control parameter can be a cell target signal to interference-plus-noise ratio, or a fractional power control exponent. The implicit mobile-specific power control parameter can be a modulation and coding level previously used by the mobile device, or a downlink SINR level measured by the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10531504
    Abstract: A base station (2) is configured to schedule radio resources to device-to-device (D2D) transmissions (101A, 101B and 101C) performed by D2D communication pairs (3A, 3B and 3C) in accordance with an allocation rule that permits two D2D communication pairs (3A and 3C) that are not in proximity to each other to share an identical radio resource but prohibits two D2D communication pairs (3A and 3B) in proximity to each other from sharing an identical radio resource. Each D2D transmission (101) includes wirelessly transmitting from one radio terminal (1) directly to the other radio terminal (1) in each D2D communication pair (3) without passing through the base station (2). It is, thus, possible to enable efficient spatial reuse of radio resources in D2D transmissions performed by D2D communication pairs.

  • Patent number: 10509679
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for limiting processing resources incurred due to refreshing a user interface. In various embodiments, an event is received, and it is determined whether a delay time period has elapsed. A length of the delay time period is based on a timing of receipt of one or more previous events. If the delay time period has not elapsed, refreshing of the user interface is postponed. When the delay time period elapses, the user interface is refreshed to display an indication of the event.
