Patent number: 10674407Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting adaptive resource negotiation between evolved node Bs (eNBs) for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) are provided. This resource negotiation may occur via a network backhaul between the eNBs or, in some cases, using over-the-air messages (OAMs). For certain aspects, a first eNB may propose its adaptive resource partitioning information (ARPI) to a second eNB, where the second eNB may accept or reject the proposed resource partitioning. If the second eNB accepts the proposed partitioning, the second eNB may schedule resources, such as subframes, based on the accepted partitioning.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Osok Song, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Tingfang Ji, Parag Arun Agashe, Jaber Mohammad Borran, Madhavan Srinivasan Vajapeyam, Stefan Geirhofer

Patent number: 10420112Abstract: Techniques for determining resources to use for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication are disclosed. In an aspect, a network entity may receive feedback information (e.g., resource usage information and/or channel state information) from P2P devices and may perform resource partitioning based on the feedback information to allocate some of the available resources for P2P communication. The allocated resources may observe little or no interference from devices engaged in wide area network (WAN) communication. In another aspect, P2P groups may perform resource negotiation via a WAN connection (e.g., with little or no involvement by the WAN) to assign the allocated resources to different P2P groups. In yet another aspect, a device may autonomously determine whether to communicate with another device directly or via a WAN, e.g., whether to initiate P2P communication with another device and whether to terminate P2P communication.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Stefan Geirhofer, Naga Bhushan, Ravi Palanki, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Parag Arun Agashe

Patent number: 10390187Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments and corresponding disclosure thereof, various aspects are described in connection with providing shared scheduling request (SR) resources to devices for transmitting SRs. Identifiers related to the shared SR resources can be signaled to the devices along with indications of the shared SR resources in given time durations. Thus, devices can transmit an SR over shared SR resources related to one or more received identifiers for obtaining an uplink grant. This can decrease delay associated with receiving uplink grants since the device need not wait for dedicated SR resources before transmitting the SR. In addition, overhead can be decreased on control channels, as compared to signaling dedicated SR resources and/or uplink grants. Moreover, identifiers related to SR resources can correspond to a grouping of devices, such that a device can transmit over shared SR resources related to a group including the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sai Yiu Duncan Ho, Wanshi Chen, Juan Montojo, Parag Arun Agashe

Patent number: 10320550Abstract: Techniques for estimating and reporting channel quality indicator (CQI) are disclosed. Neighboring base stations may cause strong interference to one another and may be allocated different resources, e.g., different subframes. A UE may observe different levels of interference on different resources. In an aspect, the UE may determine a CQI for resources allocated to a base station and having reduced or no interference from at least one interfering base station. In another aspect, the UE may determine multiple CQI for resources of different types and associated with different interference levels. For example, the UE may determine a first CQI based on at least one first subframe allocated to the base station and having reduced or no interference from the interfering base station(s). The UE may determine a second CQI based on at least one second subframe allocated to the interfering base station(s).Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alan Barbieri, Parag Arun Agashe, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Tingfang Ji, Tao Luo, Madhavan Srinivasan Vajapeyam, Yongbin Wei, Hao Xu, Taesang Yoo
