Publication number: 20180109355Abstract: A first communication node (110) receives a stream of code blocks from a second communication node (120) over an acknowledged connection (131.). The first communication node processes the received code blocks in accordance with at least one transport format parameter, TFP, detects errors in received code blocks, and transmits an acknowledgment in respect of groups of code blocks indicating whether at least one error was detected in the group. A first subset of the code blocks of a group are transmitted (e.g., modulated and demodulated) in accordance with a first TFP value, and a remainder of the code blocks are transmitted in accordance with a second TFP value. Because the first and second TFP values are independent, it is possible either to shorten the necessary processing time in the first communication node or, in connection with a predictive acknowledgment mechanism, to make the receiving-side processing of code blocks that do not contribute to the value of the transmitted acknowledgment more robust.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2016Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventors: Karl Werner, Robert Baldemair, Håkan Björkegren, Erik Dahlman, Stefan Parkvall

Publication number: 20170290000Abstract: A method for sidelink communication between a first wireless node and a second wireless node is described, the sidelink communication using sub-frames of a first type and a second type. The first wireless node determines whether the first wireless node is an initiator or responder of the sidelink communication. If the first wireless node determines that the first wireless node is an initiator of the sidelink communication, then it transmits data directly toward the second wireless node using the first sub-frame type. Alternatively, if the first wireless node determines that the first wireless node is a responder of the sidelink communication, then it transmits data directly toward the second wireless node using the second sub-frame type, the first sub-frame type being different than the second sub-frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Stefan PARKVALL, Robert BALDEMAIR, Erik DAHLMAN, Bengt LINDOFF, Karl WERNER

Patent number: 9722680Abstract: For future wireless systems, it is desired to keep network implementation aspects, such as transmission point selection, precoder selection, etc, transparent to the terminal. This means that terminals are envisaged to be unaware of e.g. from which specific network node a transmission is made. This may be referred to as the transparency principle. The proposed solution comprises enabling a receiver to determine a type of antenna association that may be assumed in regard of two blocks of information, based on the result of the decoding of e.g. the first data block. The determination is done in a way such that the principle of transparency is not broken.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Karl Werner, Robert Baldemair, Håkan Björkegren, Erik Dahlman, Stefan Parkvall

The wireless transmitter simultaneously transmits (1130) the first and second signals in a frequency band, such that the first and second signals are frequency-domain multiplexed in the frequency band and such that a symbol interval starting time in the first signal is aligned with a corresponding symbol interval starting time in the second signal at least once per time interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Karl Werner, Robert Baldemair, Håkan Björkegren, Erik Dahlman, Stefan Parkvall

Publication number: 20170026844Abstract: A method performed by a radio network node for determining a partitioning of a first signal into one or more parts to be transmitted to a first radio node. The radio network node comprises two or more antennas, each associated with a respective radio chain. The radio network node and the radio node operate in a wireless communications network. The radio network node determines a number of radio chains, to be used to send the first signal, and determines a partitioning of the first signal into the one or more parts of the first signal over the determined number of radio chains. The one or more parts are to be transmitted to the first radio node. The radio network node determines the number of radio chains and the partitioning based on a scheduling decision associated with the radio network node, and one or more parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2014Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Robert Baldemair, Johan Furuskog, Ning He, Lars Sundström, Karl Werner
