Patent number: 9025481Abstract: A user's downlink component carriers DL-CCs are divided into groups. An aperiodic CQI/PMI report is triggered by signaling (for example one bit). There is a pattern that maps the signaled trigger to a particular DL-CC within a group of DL-CCs that are configured for a user equipment UE, and that mapped particular DL-CC is determined to be the subject of the aperiodic report. In various embodiments the pattern is implicit and points to the DL-CC for which an aperiodic report has not been sent for more than a threshold time interval; or to the DL-CC for which resources have not been allocated for a periodic report; or to every DL-CC in the group that are activated for the user equipment. Examples are detailed for apparatus, method and computer program from the perspective of the network and from the perspective of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Chunyan Gao, Peng Chen, Timo Lunttila

Publication number: 20150023261Abstract: A persistent or a semi-persistent uplink resource allocation also comprises an indication for a user equipment UE to send channel quality reports. The format for the channel quality report is determined (based on a transmission mode for which the UE receives a downlink shared channel). In at least first transmissions of user data for instances of the persistently allocated uplink resource the UE sends user data and a channel quality report according to the determined format. For the case that a NACK is received in reply to one of those sent user data with channel quality reports, four options are detailed: re-send the NACK'd user data on a next instance of the persistently allocated UL resource with or without a channel quality report, and re-send the NACK'd user data on a dynamically allocated uplink resource with or without a channel quality report.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2014Publication date: January 22, 2015Applicant: WIRELESS FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Timo Lunttila, Jussi Ojala

Publication number: 20140329542Abstract: A system for determining location information for a wireless device is described. The system includes a UE, a LE and multiple LMUs. The LE sends, to the LMUs, reception instructions with characteristics of the signal transmission from the UE and each LMU receives, from the LE, the reception instructions. The UE sends a signal transmission. Each LMU receives the transmitted signal from the UE, determines locating information based at least in part of the received signal and sends the locating information to the LE. The LE receives the locating information regarding the transmitted signal and determines a location of the UE based at least in part on the received locating information. Methods, apparatus and computer readable media are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: WIRELESS FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Kari Hooli, Ajit Kahaduwe, Timo Lunttila, Karri Aho, Antti Toskala

Patent number: 8743992Abstract: A first precoding matrix W1 is selected from a first codebook comprising sets of rank specific precoding matrices. The first codebook is characterized by there being fewer precoding matrices associated with higher ranks than associated with lower ranks, and characterized by precoding matrices associated with ranks above a certain rank all being diagonal matrices. The selected first precoding matrix W1 is used to select a rank-specific second precoding matrix W2 from a second codebook, such that the selected first and second precoding matrices form a joint precoder specific to a desired rank. The second codebook is characterized by differently sized precoding matrices associated with each of N total ranks, in which N is an integer greater than one. Information on the joint precoder is reported to a network node over an uplink transmission channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2010Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Mihai Enescu, Timo Roman, Tommi Koivisto, Timo Lunttila, Shuang Tan, Helka-Liina Määttänen, Kari Pietikäinen

Patent number: 8724572Abstract: In an embodiment, state of a wireless channel on which information is received is measured; the measured state is used to select from a codebook a plurality of N codewords which optimize a predefined measure, and first and second codewords of the plurality are reported which best optimizes and next-best optimizes the predefined measure. If by example the above is done by a user equipment UE, in another embodiment the network receives first and second indications, searches a codebook using the first and second indications to find the first and second codewords; and utilizes them to improve the channel state information, such as by interpolating between them to find an estimate of the channel. In examples the channel is a MIMO channel that is estimated at two or more antenna ports, there are interpolation weights sent with the codeword indications, and the interpolating uses a geodesic algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Karol Schober, Tommi Koivisto, Timo Roman, Mihai Enescu, Timo Lunttila
