  • Patent number: 10326549
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deriving channel feedback for a physical channel based on an indication of the number of transmission repetitions. In some embodiments, a method for use in a wireless device for determining channel feedback for a physical channel includes receiving control signaling including an indication of a number of transmission repetitions of the physical channel. The method also includes deriving the channel feedback for the physical channel based on the indication of the number of transmission repetitions, where a code rate corresponding to the channel feedback corresponds to an effective channel code rate of the physical channel occupying a group of physical resources including the number of transmission repetitions. In this way, the wireless device may report channel conditions that are better than the channel conditions corresponding to a single transmission, according to some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10181922
    Abstract: A mobile terminal determines that it is operating in a range-expansion region and performs interference cancellation techniques that are particularly advantageous in the range-expansion region. An example method of receiving a target link signal at a receiving device, where the target link signal is received in a received signal that also includes an interfering link signal, thus includes determining (510) that the receiving device is operating in a range-expansion region of a low-power node in a heterogeneous network deployment, based on a serving-cell geometry metric or a dominant-interferer ratio metric or both. The method further includes configuring (520) the receiving device to perform interference cancellation, responsive to determining that the receiving device is operating in a range-expansion region. The example method continues with performing (530) the configured interference cancellation on the interfering link signal, and then demodulating and decoding (540) the target link signal.
