  • Patent number: 10250346
    Abstract: Methods (500, 800) and corresponding systems (100, 200, 300, 400, 900) for generating a pilot symbol (330) include providing an M-point parallel transform sequence that is a discrete Fourier transform of a CAZAC sequence (312, 504-508). The M-point parallel transform sequence (312) is distributed (316, 510) to a set of M subcarriers among N subcarriers to form an N-point frequency-domain sequence (318) wherein the M subcarriers are evenly spaced apart. An N-point inverse fast Fourier transform (320, 512) is performed to convert the N-point frequency-domain sequence to an N-point time-domain sequence (322). The N-point time-domain sequence is converted (324, 514) to a serial sequence (326), and a cyclic prefix is added (328, 516) to the serial sequence to form a pilot symbol (330).

  • Patent number: 10182431
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for triggering aperiodic feedback in coordinated multipoint transmission. The method includes: transmitting, by an eNB to UE, dynamic control information (DCI) and preconfigured feedback sets corresponding to the DCI, so that the UE aperiodically feeds back corresponding channel state information (CSI) according to the DCI and the feedback sets corresponding to the DCI; wherein the preconfigured feedback sets corresponding to the DCI are classified according to a triggered transmitting point or a CSI-RS of non-zero power, or are classified according to configured CSI, or are classified according to an interference type. With the method and apparatus of the embodiments of the present invention, a relatively good tradeoff between flexibility of aperiodic CSI feedback and signaling load in a CoMP transmission process or a joint transmission process of CoMP and CA may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10075371
    Abstract: A control apparatus sets, in a node located at the start point of an aggregatable segment of two or more packet forwarding paths including the aggregatable segment, a packet handling operation for each flow, the packet handling operation being for writing a flow identifier for identifying the flow and a path identifier used for packet forwarding through the aggregatable segment in a region of each of packets to be matched against the matching rule and then causing the packet to be output. The packets respectively belong to the individual flows, and each of the packets is to be forwarded through a corresponding one of the two or more packet forwarding paths. Further, the control apparatus sets, in a node located intermediate on the aggregatable segment, a common packet handling operation for causing the packet that matches the path identifier to be forwarded according to the packet forwarding path.

  • Patent number: 9998242
    Abstract: IP2 calibration efficiency can be improved by passing the calibration signal through the transceiver's duplexer instead of inserting the calibration signal directly onto transceivers receive circuit. Passing the calibration signal through the duplexer may reduce IP2 calibration periods for transceivers having less-permeable duplexers, or duplexers that provide better than average separation between the RX and TX circuits. IP2 calibration inefficiencies can also be reduced by using a binary-like search when computing the in-phase and quadrature-phase path correction coefficients of the IP2 correction code.
