Abstract: In an absolute encoder, a system of linear equations is built based on the mathematical analysis that each phase-delayed displacement signal from a plurality of position sensors placed at certain electrical phase angle positions in a 360° electrical cycle contains a component of its two orthogonal displacement signals, sin(?) and cos(?). The two orthogonal displacement signals are optimally obtained by solving the system of linear equations based on the principle that the sum of all other tap's signals other than own tap's signal is forced to be zero at each tap, which is essentially applying the zero-force (ZF) equalization to the phase-delayed sinusoidal or square wave displacement signals of position sensors. By applying the ZF equalization to distortion-prone raw signals of a plurality of position sensors, signal components, other than the two orthogonal displacement signals, are eliminated and distortion-minimized optimal two orthogonal displacement signals are synthesized.

Abstract: A method performed by a network node for handling a damaged transmission of data due to data puncturing is provided.

The network node checks (202) whether or not the data is punctured in the previous transmission corresponding to the NACK feedback. When the data is punctured in the previous transmission, the network node selects (203) a Redundancy Version (RV), for a retransmission of the data, according to characteristics of the punctured data and puncturing data. The network node then sends (204) a Puncturing Indication (PI), the selected RV and the retransmission of the data to the UE.

Abstract: An OFDM system uses a normal mode which has a symbol length T, a guard time TG and a set of N sub-carriers, which are orthogonal over the time T, and one or more fallback modes which have symbol lengths KT and guard times KTG where K is an integer greater than unity. The same set of N sub-carriers is used for the fallback modes as for the normal mode. Since the same set of sub-carriers is used, the overall bandwidth is substantially constant, so alias filtering does not need to be adaptive. The Fourier transform operations are the same as for the normal mode. Thus fallback modes are provided with little hardware cost. In the fallback modes the increased guard time provides better delay spread tolerance and the increased symbol length provides improved signal to noise performance, and thus increased range, at the cost of reduced data rate.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate scrambling of downlink reference signals utilizing a pseudo-random sequence (PRS) corresponding to a primary synchronization code (PSC) and secondary synchronization code (SSC) combination. Utilization of the combination allows for orthogonal sequencing to be removed from the scrambling.

In such scenarios, selective scrambling can be utilized such that the orthogonal sequence or instead the PSC/SSC combination can be provided to leverage advantages of both mechanisms in the given scenarios.

Abstract: A method for contention-based (CB) uplink transmission in a wireless communication network is provided. A base station (eNB) first transmits CB configuration information and CB grant to a user equipment (UE). The UE derives a plurality of transmission opportunities from the uplink CB grant and in response transmits uplink CB data via one of the transmission opportunities. The UE then receives an acknowledgment from the serving base station. If the uplink CB data is non-decodable by the eNB due to multiple contention UEs, then the UE retransmits the uplink data in response to a negative acknowledgment. In one novel aspect, the uplink transmission radio resource carriers both the uplink CB data and UE-selected signature information. In one embodiment, the UE-selected signature information is transmitted via pilot tones. By eliminating a separate phase of contention resolution, the overall latency of CB transmission is reduced and transmission efficiency is improved.

Abstract: A UE in a wireless communication network transmits succinct, direct channel state information to the network, enabling coordinated multipoint calculations such as joint processing, without substantially increasing uplink overhead.

The frequency response for each selected sub-carrier is estimated conventionally, and the results quantized and transmitted to the network on an uplink control channel. The non-uniform sub-carrier selection may be synchronized to the network in a variety of ways.

The transmitter may determine resources (e.g., slots) to use to send the pilot based on the first and second information and possibly based further on a PN offset assigned to the sector. The transmitter may transmit the pilot in the determined resources.

As a result, channel encoding schemes can more easily be used which benefits from power of two length block sizes.
