Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for controlling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) interference are provided. One method may include receiving, by a base station, timing information from a user equipment, and determining a timing difference between network timing at the base station and at least one of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) timing at the base station or the received timing information. The received timing information comprises at least one of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) timing at the user equipment or a timing difference calculated based on a network timing at the user equipment and the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) timing at the user equipment.

Abstract: A method can include determining a power headroom report, and transmitting the headroom report. The power headroom report can provide both positive and negative values of power headroom according to the determination, in which negative values indicate the missing power in dB to fulfill requirements, such as those given by current resource allocation and modulation and coding scheme. This method can be implemented by encoding instructions for performing this method on a computer-readable medium, such that the instructions when execute cause the computer to execute the method as a computer process. The method can further include receiving a power headroom report. The method can additionally include allocating radio network resources based on the power headroom report.

Abstract: A first power control adjustment state g(i) and a second power control adjustment state f(i) are initialized for i=0 to each reflect an open loop power control error. An initial transmit power for a shared uplink channel is computed using full pathloss compensation. The computed initial transmit power depends on a preamble power of a first message sent on an access channel, and the initial transmit power is initialized with the second power control adjustment state f(0). A third message is sent from a transmitter on an uplink shared channel at the initial transmit power. In various implementations, the power for i=0 on the uplink control channel is also initialized similar to the initial transmit power for the third message and using full pathloss compensation, and after the third message (and retransmissions of it), subsequent messages sent on the uplink shared channel are sent at a power that is computed using fractional pathloss compensation.

Abstract: A method for signaling between a mobile apparatus (10) and a network node (12) is described. The method includes generating a message that includes a scheduling request. Determining whether a second indication (e.g., an acknowledgment) is to be transmitted in a sub-frame with the first indication is also included. The method includes, in response to a determination that the second indication is not to be included, the message is configured in a first configuration and, in response to a determination that the second indication is to be included, the message also includes the second indication and the message is configured in a second configuration. The first configuration is distinct from the second configuration. The method also includes sending the message, via a wireless transmitter, in the sub-frame. Apparatus and computer-readable media are also described.

The method including defining a shared uplink control resource to include N out of a possible M uplink control resources as being coherent uplink control resources, where M>N, defining at least one of the remaining M?N uplink control resources as non-coherent uplink control resources, and assigning the N coherent uplink control channel resources and the at least one M?N non-coherent uplink control resources to user equipment as needed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing a transmission connection. In accordance with the method, symbols (DATA_IN) are formed from the bit stream to be transmitted, carriers are generated on several different frequency bands, and the bit stream is transmitted with the aid of the carriers by dividing the formed symbols between the carriers in such a way that each carrier is modulated with some of the bits in the bit stream. To enable implementation of modulation and demodulation in such multicarrier systems with as simple and efficient equipment as possible, the modulated carriers are first generated on the transmitter side each separately on predetermined first frequencies, whereafter at least some of the carriers are supplied to a halfband filter bank (64) transferring at least some of the carriers supplied to it to their final frequency bands in the frequency domain and combining said carriers to its output. Halfband filter bank is also used in the receiver.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forming a pulse amplitude modulated signal in association with digital modulation. In the method symbols to be transmitted are formed from bits of an incoming bit stream. In order to achieve an accurate timing even when a bit clock contains abundant jitter, sample values of a pre-low-pass-filtered waveform of a pulse to be transmitted, covering at least one symbol period, are stored in a memory, sample values are read from the memory at the rate of a constant-frequency clock signal (f.sub.c, 4.times.f.sub.c), and a sample value read from the memory is multiplied by a predetermined factor the value of which is formed as a response to the symbol being transmitted.
