  • Patent number: 9083520
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a method of transmitting control information, which is transmitted to a base station by a user equipment, includes the steps of receiving at least one of PDCCH and PDSCH from the base station via at least one serving cell configured in the user equipment and transmitting a 2nd control information to the base station together with a 1st control information resulting from performing a bundling on at least one portion of the control information on a reception of the PDCCH or a reception of the PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH, wherein the 1st control information and the 2nd control information are transmitted using PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource selected in accordance with a preset rule and a modulation value and wherein the 1st control information and the 2nd control information are identified by a combination of the selected PUCCH resource and the modulation value.

  • Patent number: 9042336
    Abstract: In a system using spatial precoding, in the event that reliable channel state information is unavailable, a transmitting node uses an extended transmission mode, in which the precoders applied to data within each of several groups of time-frequency resources vary according to frequency. The extended transmission mode creates a frequency-selective variation in precoders, which may appear to be random, while using DMRS-based transmission. This variation is achieved by applying different precoders to the resource elements carrying data, using a pattern of precoder variation that is known to the receiving device. The precoding applied to DMRS within a given group of time-frequency resources is held constant—thus, the varying precoders within a given group of time-frequency resources are only applied to data elements, not to the DMRS resource elements.

  • Patent number: 9025515
    Abstract: Provided is a method for transmitting signals in a relay station. In detail, the method for transmitting signals in a relay station of a wireless communication system using a plurality of subframes including a plurality of OFDM symbols or SC-FDMA symbols comprises the steps of: receiving bitmap information on a backhaul downlink subframe from the relay station; obtaining control information on a subframe that is not used for a backhaul downlink; and repeatedly transmitting channel state information to the relay station on the basis of a virtual index indicating only a backhaul uplink subframe, wherein the backhaul uplink subframe is determined according to the control information and the bitmap information.

  • Patent number: 9025436
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal device that is capable of improving the characteristics of a response signal having poor transmission characteristics when ARQ is utilized in communication using an uplink unit band and a plurality of downlink unit bands associated with the uplink unit band. At the time of channel selection, a control unit (208) selects a resource used in sending a response signal from among specific PUCCH resources notified in advance from a base station (100) and PUCCH resources mapped to a CCE, and controls the transmission of the response signal. A response signal generating unit (212) supports implicit signaling with respect to any given response signal, and at the same time as supporting LTE fallback from 2CC, uses a mapping method that, between bits, smooths the number of PUCCH resources that can determine ACK/NACK simply by determining the PUCCH resource regarding which the response signal had notified.

  • Patent number: 8942122
    Abstract: At least one neighbor cell is identified by a base station by detecting a synchronization signal of the at least one neighbor cell. A received signal power, such as a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or a Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), or a combination thereof, is also measured from the at least one neighbor cell. Identifying information and the received signal power of the at least one neighbor cell is then communicated to a network entity of the wireless network. Information is received from the network entity indicating whether the base station can enable a reconfiguration of the allocation of uplink and downlink subframes used in the cell of the base station. Based on the information received from the network entity, the base station enables a reconfiguration of the allocation of uplink and downlink subframes used in the cell.
