[2] By coordinating and combining signals from multiple antenna locations, CoMP operations enable mobile users to access consistent performance and quality as they access and share videos, photos and other services that require high bandwidth, regardless of their location. near the center of a cell or at its outer limits. During CoI / IP operations, a user unit, UE, can receive signals from multiple sites (such as a serving eNB and an adjacent eNB) to take advantage of multiple reception to improve link performance.

[30] The following description and drawings illustrate specific embodiments sufficiently to enable one skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may include changes in structure, logic, electronics, methodology, and the like. Parts and features of some embodiments may be included in or substituted with those of other embodiments. Embodiments set forth in the claims include all available equivalents of these claims.
[31] FIG. 1 illustrates a wireless network in accordance with some embodiments. Wireless network 100 includes user unit UE 102 and a plurality of enhancedNodeBs 104, 106 and 116. Said eNBs may provide communication services to UEs such as UE 102. An eNB 104 may be a serving eNB when UE 102 is located with a region (eg, a cell) served by eNB 104. eNBs 106, 116 may be adjacent eNBs.
[32] According to embodiments, the UE 102 may be configured for CoMP (Coordinated I / Iulti-Point) operations, in which one or more downlink channels 107 are at least partially relieved from serving eNB 104 to one or more adjacent eNBs, such as adjacent eNBs. 106 and / or 116. In these embodiments, UE 102 may receive signaling 7 from serving eNB 104 to indicate a specific reference signal for an adjacent eNB (e.g., reference signal 105 for adjacent eNB 106, and / or reference signal 115 for adjacent eNB 116) to be used for estimating one or more physical layer parameters associated with said one or more downlink channels 107 that may be provided to at least a portion of the adjacent eNB. The UE 102 may estimate the one or more physical layer parameters based on receiving the indicated reference signal 105 from the adjacent eNB and apply the estimated one or more physical layer parameters for processing one or more downlink channels 107 from the adjacent eNB. Consequently, mismatch between these parameters can be addressed. For example, improved symbol detection and demodulation of a relieved downlink channel transmitted by an adjacent eNB can be achieved.
[33] This differs from conventional techniques in which one or more parameters pre-physical layer can be estimated based on a reference signal 103 from serving eNB 104 preprocessing of a downlink channel which has been at least partially relieved. Conventional estimation of one or more physical layer parameters based on reference signals (eg reference signal 103) transmitted by serving eNB 104 may result in poor performance.
[34] In some embodiments, the one or more downlink channels 107 may be unloaded simultaneously to two or more adjacent eNBs, such as adjacent eNB 106 and adjacent eNB 116. In these embodiments, the serving eNB 104 may provide signaling to the UE 102 for indicating the specific reference signal 105 for adjacent eNB 106 to be used for estimating one or more physical layer parameters associated with one or more of said downlink channels 107 provided at least in part by adjacent eNB 106 and the served eNB 104 may provide signaling for indicate a particular reference signal 115 for adjacent eNB 116 to be used for estimating one or more parameters for physical layer associated with said one or more downlink channels 107 which may be provided at least in part with adjacent eNB 116. As discussed in more detail below, they may one or more several downlink channels either be completely relieved to a adjacent eNB 106 and 116 or partially relieved of adjacent eNB 106 and 116.
[35] The physical layer parameters may include a time offset, frequency offset or offset, channel power delay profile, Doppler spread on the channel and average 8-channel gain, although the scope of the embodiments is not limited in this regard. Other parameters for the physical layer, such as delay spread, Doppler shift and average delay may also be included.
[36] In some embodiments, the UE 102 is configured for CoI / IP operations in the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and the indicated reference signal 105, 115 may be a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). CoMP measurement set or one of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a primary synchronization sequence (PSS) and a secondary synchronization sequence (SSS). The CoMP measurement set can be a set of reference signals CSI-RS that UE 102 can use to perform CSI measurements and provide feedback to an eNB. The one or more downlink channels 107 which are at least partially relieved from the serving eNB 104 referred to as one or more adjacent eNBs 106, 116 may comprise a PDSCH (PhysicalDownlink Shared Channel) and / or an e-PDCCH (enhanced Physical Downlink ControlChannel). In these embodiments, the UE 102 may apply the estimate of one or more parameters to the physical layer for processing the downlink channel 107 which has been relieved (i.e., PDSCH and / or e-PDCCH) and received from one or more adjacent eNBs 106, 116.
[37] In some embodiments, adjacent eNB 106 and / or adjacent eNB116 may be associated with a picocell while serving eNB 104 may be associated with a macrocell, although the scope of the embodiments is not limited in this regard. In different CoI / IP scenarios described in more detail below, CoI / IP operations for an adjacent eNB can be performed by radio heads located at a distance RRH (Remote Radio Head).
[38] In fully unloaded CoMP embodiments, one or more downlink channels 107 may be fully unloaded to one or more adjacent eNBs, such as adjacent eNB 106 and adjacent eNB 116. In these fully unloaded CoMP embodiments, the fully unloaded downlink channel may be transmitted by a or more adjacent eNBs 106, 116 and are not transmitted serving eNB 104. In these fully relieved embodiments, e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH may, for example, be fully relieved to one or more adjacent eNBs such as an adjacent eNB 106 and / or adjacent eNB 116. The e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH can for instance alternatively be completely relieved to two adjacent eNBs such as eNB 106 and eNB 116. The e-PDCCH 9 and / or PDSCH can for instance be alternatively relieved to adjacent eNBs, such as an adjacent eNB 106, adjacent eNB 116 and another adjacent eNB (not illustrated).
[39] In embodiments with CoMP partial relief, one or more downlink channels 107 may be partially relieved to one or more adjacent eNBs such as an adjacent eNB 106 and / or adjacent eNB 116. In these embodiments of partially relieved CoMP, the downlink channel which is partially relieved is transmitted simultaneously eNB 104 and of said one or more adjacent eNBs. In these partially relieved embodiments, serving eNB 104 may indicate that the downlink channel (e.g., e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH) is transmitted from serving eNB 104 as well as from one or more adjacent eNBs, such as an adjacent eNB 106 and / or adjacent eNB 116. This enables for UE 102 to additionally use one or more parameters for physical layer estimated from one or more reference signals (eg PSS / SSS / CRSeller CSI-RS) for serving eNB 104 for processing downlink channel (ie in addition to the one or more reference signals (eg PSS) / SSS / CRS or CSI-RS) for a downlink channel processing for adjacent eNB 10).
[40] In some partially unloaded CoMP embodiments, a downlink channel (e.g., e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH) may be partially unloaded into two adjacent eNBs that allow the UE: night to receive a downlink channel from three eNBs (e.g., service). eNB 104, adjacent eNB 106 and adjacent eNB 116). In some of these embodiments, the network may be an E-UTRAN and may operate in accordance with one or more of the 3GPP LTE specifications, Edition 11 or later, although this is not a requirement.
[41] In some embodiments, the UE 102 may apply the estimate of one or more physical layer parameters (e.g., estimated from reference signal 105 and / or reference signal 115) to receive a user-specific reference signal (UE-specific RS) from adjacent eNB (t ex adjacent eNB 106 and / or adjacent eNB 116) and use the deUE-specific reference signals, RS, to demodulate regions in the downlink channel 107 received from the adjacent eNB. In addition, in partially unloaded embodiments, the UE 102 may apply an estimate of one or more physical layer parameters (e.g., estimated off-reference signal 103) to receive a UE-specific RS from the adjacent eNB 104 and use the UE-specific reference signals. , RS, to demodulate regions in downlink channels 107 received from serving eNB 104.
[42] UE-specific RS may comprise an e-PDCCH UE-specific RS and / or a PDSCH UE-specific RS. The e-PDCCH UE-specific RS can be used by the UE 102 to demodulate the e-PDCCH. PDSCH UE-specific RS can be used by the UE 102 for demodulation named PDSCH. The UE-specific reference signal, RS, may be a reference signal for demodulation, DI / I-RS.
[43] In an exemplary embodiment, serving eNB 104 may indicate that the e-PDCCH is transmitted from both serving eNB 104 and from two or more adjacent eNBs (e.g., adjacent eNB 106 and adjacent eNB 116). Operating eNB 104 may indicate to UE102 to use reference signal 105 to estimate one or more physical layer parameters for adjacent eNB 106 and to use reference signal 115 to estimate one or more physical layer parameters for adjacent eNB 116. The estimated physical layer parameters adjacent eNB 106 may be used to receive a UE-specific RS from eNB 106 which may be used for demodulation and processing of e-PDCCH from eNB 106. Destimated one or more physical layer parameters for adjacent eNB 116 may be used to receive a UE specific RS from eNB 116 which can be used for pre-modulation processing of e-PDCCH from eNB 116. A similar approach can be applied when PDSCH is at least partially relieved.
[44] In some embodiments, the estimate of the one or more physical layer parameters may be used, for example, for symbol detection and demodulation, the scope of the menu embodiments is not limited in this respect. In some embodiments, the can estimate of the one or more physical layer parameters is used for channel estimation based on a UE-specific RS for the unloaded channel (ie, e-PDCCH UE-specific RS or PDSCH UE-specific RS).
[45] FIG. 2 illustrates temporal mismatch in accordance with some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, frames 204 may be received from a serving eNB, such as a serving eNB104 (FIG. 1), and frames 206 may be received from an adjacent eNB, such as an adjacent eNB106 (FIG. 1). A time offset 208 may exist between frames 204 and 206 due to different spreading distances between serving eNB 104 and UE 102 (FIG. 1) and between adjacent eNB 106 and UE 102. In accordance with embodiments, when the parameters of physical layer includes the one-time offset, such as time offset 208, signaling received from serving eNB 104 may indicate that a reference signal 105 for adjacent eNB 106 to be used for the time estimation is associated with said one or more downlink channels 107 for adjacent eNB 106. In these embodiments, initial UE 102 may based on receiving a synchronization sequence (eg PSS and / or SSS) for serving eNB 104. The UE 102 may then estimate a time offset 208 between downlink frames 204 for serving eNB 104 and downlink frames 206 for adjacent eNB 206 based on receiving a reference 103 104 and the indicated reference signal 105 for the adjacent eNB 106.UE 102 may apply the estimate time offset for processing one or more downlink channels 107 provided by adjacent eNB 106. As illustrated in F | G.2, time offset 208 may be limited to the length of the cyclic prefix, CP, 209.
[47] In some embodiments, signaling from serving eNB 104 may also indicate that a reference signal from adjacent eNB 106 should be used for time estimation when a particular downlink channel (e.g., e-PDCCH) is also transmitted by adjacent eNB 106. In these CoMP embodiments, the UE may 102 uses e-PDCCH UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 106 to process e-PDCCH received from adjacent eNB 106, even if there is a mismatch time between a reference signal (eg CRS) for serving eNB 104 and e-PDCCH for adjacent eNB 106 since the time offset has been estimated and compensated by UE 102. Through compensation for each time mismatch between a reference signal for the serving eNB 104 (eg CRS) and a reference signal from adjacent eNB 106 (eg e-PDCCH UE-specific RS for e-PDCCH processing) , any negative impact from such a time mismatch can be avoided.
[48] In some embodiments, a channel estimation method may be performed on a UE-specific RS transmitted by an adjacent eNB 106. For example, the estimate of the physical layer parameters may be used by the UE 102 for UE-specific RS channel estimation methods.
[49] In some embodiments, one or more downlink channels that have been at least partially unloaded may be divided into regions or sets. Each region can be broadcast by one of the deeNBs involved in CoMP operations. The UE 102 may receive signaling from the service eNB 104 indicating which resource blocks comprise the region of the one or more downlink channels (eg e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH) transmitted from the service eNB 104. The UE 12102 may also receive signaling indicating the resource blocks comprising the region in the one or more downlink channels transmitted by the one or more adjacent eNBs. In these embodiments, the UE 102 may apply other, independent, processing (e.g., to the one or the physical layer parameters involving the application of time offset compensation) of each region of the relieved downlink channel.
[50] In some embodiments, regions in the e-PDCCH may be referred to as sets. In some embodiments, region PDSCH may be a resource block allocation.
[51] In some embodiments, when the e-PDCCH includes multiple regions (e.g., sets), the CSI-RS resource may be configured or indicated for each region (or sets) of the e-PDCCH transmitted to be specific to an eNB participating in the CoMP. operations. In these embodiments, multiple e-PDCCH region configurations may be sent to UE 102. Each configuration may have its own reference signal configuration or indication, an example of which is illustrated below: e-PDCCH-Config-Set-rll :: = CHOICE {csiRSlndex-r11lNTEGER (0. .3), physCellID-r11 PhysCellId,} This example uses a CSI-RS index instead of a CSI-RS configuration. The CSI-RS index points to a specific CSI-RS that is configured by a control message.
[52] In some embodiments, the UE 102 may calculate CSI feedback based on CSI-RS (ie, on CoMP measurement sets) for each eNB involved in these CoMP operations (including serving eNB 104 and one or more adjacent eNBs). The UE 102 can send CSI feedback to the serving eNB 104. In some of these embodiments, the CSI feedback adjacent eNB may, for example, be sent by the serving eNB 104 (over an X2 interface). In some embodiments, a set of CSI-RSs of the CoMP measurement set may be configured for the UE 102 and provided by serving eNB 104. 13
[53] FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of a UE in accordance with some embodiments. The UE 300 can be suitably used as the UE 102 (F | G.1), although other UE configurations may also be suitable. The UE 300 may include a transceiver 304 precommunication with at least two or more eNBs and processor circuits 302 configured to perform at least some of the operations described herein. The UE 300 may also include a single memory and other elements not illustrated separately. Processor circuits 302 can also be configured to determine several different feedback values discussed below for transmission to eneNB. The processor circuits may also include an I / IAC (Medium Access Control) layer. In some embodiments, the UE 300 may include one or more of a keyboard, a display, a non-volatile memory port, multiple antennas, a graphics processor, an application processor, speakers, and other mobile device elements. The display may be an LCD screen including a touch screen.
[54] In accordance with some embodiments, processor circuits 302 may be configured to certify said one or more physical layer parameters based on reception of an indicating reference signal from said one or more adjacent eNBs. The UE 300 may, for example, estimate a first time offset from receiving a reference signal 105 from adjacent eNB 106 and may estimate a second time offset from receiving reference signal 115 from adjacent eNB 116. The processor circuits 302 may apply estimated time offset preprocessing from said adjacent one or more nBs. Processor circuits 302 may, for example, apply the first time offset estimated from reference signal 105 to receive a UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 106 (e.g., e-PDCCH UE-specific RS) and use UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 106 to demodulate inbound channel regions. (e.g. the special sets of e-PDCCH) received from adjacent eNB 106. Furthermore, UE 102 may apply other time offset estimated from reference signal 115 to receive a UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 116 (e.g. e-PDCCH UE-specific RS) and use said UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 116 to demodulate inbound channel regions (t ex the special sets of e-PDCCH) received from adjacent eNB 116. Furthermore, processor circuits 302 may apply the time estimate from reference signal 103 to receive a UE-specific RS from serving eNB 104 (e.g. e-PDCCH UE-specific RS) and use said UE-specific RS from serving eNB 104 to demodulate inbound channel regions (e.g., the particular sets of e-PDCCHs) received from serving eNB 104. In accordance with embodiments, instead of estimating one or more of the parameters mentioned above, layer based on a reference signal 103 from serving eNB104, such as CRS, for symbol detection and demodulation of e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH transmitted by adjacent eNB 106, estimate one or more parameters for physical layer based reception of the indicated reference signal 105 for adjacent eBB 106 and demodulating e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH transmitted by adjacent eNB106. Consequently, improved symbol detection and demodulation of e-PDCCH and / or PDSCH transmitted by adjacent eNB 106 can be achieved. Conventional estimation of any of the one or more physical layer parameters based on reference signals transmitted by serving eNB 104 may result in substandard performance.
[56] The one or more antennas used by the UE 300 may include one or more multi-directional or omnidirectional antennas including, for example, dipole antennas, monopole antennas, patch antennas, loop antennas, microstrip antennas, or other types of antennas suitable for transmitting RF. signals. In some I / III / IO (I / Iultiple Input I / Iultiple Output) embodiments, antennas can be actually separated to take advantage of spatial diversity and different channel characteristics that may occur between each of the antennas and the antennas of a transmitting station.
[57] Although the UE 300 is illustrated as having several different functional elements, the can or several of the functional elements are combined and implemented by combinations of software-configured elements, such as processor elements including digital signal processors (DSP) and / or other hardware elements. Some elements may include, for example, one or more microprocessors, digital signal processors, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits) and combinations of different hardware circuits and logic circuits to perform at least one of the functions described herein. In some embodiments, the functional elements may refer to one or more processors operating on one or more processor elements.
[58] In some embodiments, the UE 300 may be configured to transmit and receive OFDM communication signals over a multicarrier communication channel in accordance with an OFDMA communication technique. OFDM signals may include a plurality of orthogonal subcarriers. In some LTE embodiments, the base unit for the wireless resources is the physical resource blocks (PRB). A PRB can include 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain x 0.5 ms in the time domain. The PRB can be allocated in pairs (in the time domain). In these embodiments, the PRB may include a plurality of resource elements, RE. An RE can include a subcarrier x a symbol.
[59] In some embodiments, the UE 300 may be part of a portable wireless communication device, such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a laptop with wireless communication capability, a tablet, a cordless telephone, a wireless communication set, a pager, an SMS device , a digital camera, an access point, a television, a medical device (such as a cardiac pacemaker, a block pressure monitor, etc.) or any other device that can receive and / or transmit information wirelessly.
[60] In some UTRAN LTE embodiments, the UE 300 may compute different feedback values that may be used to perform channel matching for a spatial multiplexing feedback transmission mode. These feedback values may include a CQI channel quality indicator, an RI rank indicator and a PMI pre-coding matrix indicator. Through the QQI, transmitters can select one of several modulation alphabets and code rate combinations. The RI informs the transmitter of the number of useful transmission layers for the current I / III / IO channel and the PMI indicates the codebook index of the precoding matrix (depending on the number of end antennas) which it applies to the transmitter. The code rate used by eNB can be based on the CQI. The PI / | may be a vector or matrix calculated by the UE and reported to eNB. In some embodiments, the UE may transmit a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 2, 2a or 2b including CQI / PMI or RI.
[61] FIG. 4A to 4C illustrate various CoI / IP scenarios in accordance with some embodiments. CoMP scenario one is illustrated in FIG. 4A in which a homogeneous network performs CoMP operations within an area. In this scenario, each eNB 402 may perform intrasaitCoMP within its coordination area 405, which may be within the cell it serves.Illustrated in CoI / IP scenario two FIG. 4B in which a homogeneous network with remote high power radio heads (RRH) 412 performing CoI / IP operations within a coordination area 415. In CoMP scenario two, RRHs 414 may be interconnected high bandwidth links 416, such as an optical fiber link. The coordination area 415 may comprise a plurality of cells.
[62] CoI / IP scenarios three and four are illustrated in FIG. 4C in which a heterogeneous network includes low power RRHs 424 capable of performing CoMP operations within a high power eNB 422 16 providing a macrocell coverage area 425 where transmission and reception points are provided by RRHs 424 and high power eNB 422. In CoI / IP scenarios three and four, a single eNB 422 can coordinate CoI / IP operations within a coverage area 425. In CoMP scenario three, RRHs may have different cell identities than the macrocell. In CoI / IP scenario four, RRHs 424 may have the same cell ID as the cell ID of the macrocell. In CoI / IP scenarios three and four, RRHs can be connected to eNB 422 by high bandwidth links 426, such as optical fiber links.
[63] In CoMP scenarios one to four, the e-PDCCH UE-specific RS antenna ports can be linked via signaling with one of the CSI-RSs for the CoMP control array. In some embodiments of CoI / IP scenarios one to three, e-PDCCH UE-specific RS may be linked (by physical cell identity configuration) with other cell reference signals (eg PSS / SSS / CRS) to provide a time reference (or a reference to one or more other large-scale properties) for processing e-PDCCH. The linking of a UE-specific RS to some other reference signals (eg CSI-RS, PSS, SSS or CRS) enables the use of estimated time setting (or other physical layer parameters) on the indicated reference signal for subsequent processing of the e-PDCCH.
[64] For said CoMP measurement set (which may include CSI-RS from serving eNB 104 and CSI-RS from adjacent eNB 106), UE 102 may provide CSI feedback based on receiving CSI-RS from each eNB involved in the CoMP operations. . For COMP resource control setup, the UE provides more basic information such as received power on reference signal.
[65] In some embodiments, serving eNB 104 provides CSI feedback for adjacent eNB 106 to adjacent eNBs over a backhaul network (e.g., the X2 interface) before use of adjacent eNB 106 to configure said UE-specific RS (e.g., e-PDCCH). UE-specific RS and PDSCH UE-specific RS). Alternatively, a master eNB or central processing unit may perform all processing of CoMP rather than serving eNB 104.
[66] In some embodiments, UE 102 may compute CSI feedback based on CSI-RS pre-serving eNB 104 and send CSI feedback (for serving eNB) to serving eNB 104 and the UE may compute CSI feedback (for adjacent eNB) based on CSI -RS for one or more adjacent eNB 106s involved in the CoI / IP operations and send CSI feedback (for adjacent eNBs) to serving eNB 104.
[67] In some embodiments, the UE 102 may use channel information determined from the PDCCH UE-specific RS for symbol detection and demodulation of the e-PDCCH. The UE-specific RS are UE-specific reference signals and in these embodiments, an eNB can transmit an UE-specific RS in each resource block, RB, within a resource allocation after multiplying the beamforming matrix for a corresponding UE. The eNB can use CSI feedback from the UE to generate the beamforming matrix. In these embodiments, the UE 102 may use the e-PDCCH UE-specific RS from the eNB 106 for demodulation and symbol detection for the e-PDCCH received from adjacent eNB 106 and the UE 102 may use PDSCH UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 106 for demodulation. and symbol detection of PDSCH received from adjacent eNB 106.
[68] In some embodiments, the UE 102 may be configured for single FFT processing (fixed Fourier Transform) to process signals from different eNBs (eg CSI-RS, CRS, e-PDCCH regions (sets), resource blocks for PDSCH and the UE-specific RS) in a process step for single FFT. In CoI / IP operations, the UE 102, although PDSCH, e-PDCCH, PDCCH, CRS and other signals may be transmitted from different eNBs, may use a single FFT operation which can be configured to correspond to the timing of the CRS from serving. In this way, possible mismatches between parameters of other reference signals and channels (transmitting adjacent eNBs 106) may be individually compensated in the frequency domain after FFT. Alternatively, UE 102 may take multiple FFTs (ie for the same OFDM symbols). ) corresponding to the received timing of each channel or reference signal, however, this may result in additional processing complexity. In some embodiments, processor circuits 302 for UE 300 (FIG. 3) may be configured to perform FFT operations.
[69] In some embodiments, signaling provided by serving eNB 104 to indicate a reference signal for an adjacent eNB 106 (ie, reference signal 105 for adjacent eNB 106 and / or reference signal 115 for adjacent eNB 116) may use pre-estimation of one or more physical layer parameters. associated with the one or more downlink channels 107 provided by one or more of adjacent eNBs are provided using signaling in Radio Resource Control (RRC) layers. In these embodiments, the RRC signaling may indicate the configuration of a reference CSI-RS resource index for a CoMP resource control set or a configuration for a reference physical cell identity for a reference signal (eg, PSS / SSS / CRS) for an adjacent eNB. In some of these embodiments, other sets of CSI-RS resources may be configured for the UE 102 as part of the CoMP measurement set. In this case, the CoMP measurement set can also be used to configure the reference CSI-RS resource.
[70] In some of these embodiments, the linking (or co-location signaling) performed using RRC layer signaling may include the configuration of the reference CSI-RS resource index for CoMP resource control set as shown in the following examples or may include configuration of physical cell reference identity for the other cells PSS / SSS / CRS.
[71] In some alternative embodiments, the signaling to indicate the reference signal for one or more adjacent eNBs to be used for estimating one or more physical layer parameters may be provided using MAC layer signaling, although the scope of the embodiments is not limited. in this regard.
[72] In some embodiments, when the PDSCH is at least partially relieved, PDSCH signaling is provided using physical layer (PHY) signaling for downlink control information, DCI. In these embodiments, DCI-based signaling can be used because PDSCH decoding is performed after DCI decoding. On the other hand, DCI-based signaling may not be as likely for e-PDCCH because e-PDCCH decoding can be performed before DCI decoding (ie e-PDCCH is processed first to decode DCI).
[73] In some embodiments, the reference signal indicated for estimating physical layer parameters (including, for example, time estimation) may be configured independently for each particular e-PDCCH region or set. It can also be configured independently of common and UE-specific search spaces, located and distributed e-PDCCH allocations. In some embodiments, the indicated reference signal may also be used to change purposes in e-PDCCH processing such as a frequency offset compensation, SINR, Doppler, and estimation of power delay profile for channel estimation. In some embodiments, the re-indication or signaling is not provided, UE 102 can be configured to use one derived from an estimation of default parameters (including a default timing) reference signal (eg PSS / SSS / CRS) for serving eNB 104.
[74] In some embodiments, CSI-RS for CoMP measurement sets may be considered for co-location signaling. In these embodiments, the CSI-RS index may be RRC-signaled as part of the e-PDCCH configuration to indicate the specific co-located CSI-RS resources for the CoMP measurement set for e-PDCCH UE-specific RS processing. The estimated power delay profile, timing, frequency offset and / or Doppler spread estimated on the CSI-RS for indicated or configured CSI-RS can be used by the UE 102 for e-PDCCH processing.
[75] Alternatively, the CSI process comprising the CSI-RS index and an interference measurement resource, II / IR, such as a CSI interference measurement, CSI-IM, can be used for co-location signaling. In these embodiments, interference estimated on the IMR (overpower delay profile, timing, frequency offset, and / or Doppler scatter estimated on the CSI-RS) can be used to predict the expected interference and SINR observed on the e-PDCCH UE-specific RS. In these embodiments, the CSI process index can be signaled to the UE (instead of the CSI-RS index) using RRC signaling as part of the e-PDCCH region or set configuration.
[76] For CRS co-location signaling, a value of a UE-specific RS encryption initiator can be used to indicate physical cell ID of CRS for co-location. This signaling may be implicit and may be new field in e-PDCCH for UE-specific RS co-location signaling. In these embodiments, the co-location signaling described above may differ for different e-PDCCH regions / sets, located and distributed e-PDCCH allocations, and common and UE-specific search spaces.
[77] In some embodiments, PSS and SSS may provide UE 102 with physical layer identity within the cell. These signals can also provide frequency and time synchronization within the cell. PSS can be constructed from Zadoff-Chu, ZC, sequences and the length of the sequence may be predetermined (eg 62) in the frequency domain. SSS can use two-intertwined sequences (ie max length sequences, I / ILS, shift register generated, SRG, sequences or m sequences) which have a predetermined length (eg 31). SSS can be encrypted with PSS that determines physical layer identity ID: SSS can provide the UE with information around cell ID, timing properties at frame level and length of cyclic prefix, CP. The UE 102 can also be informed whether to use time division duplex, TDD, (Time Division Duplexing) or frequency division duplex, FDD, (Frequency Division Duplexing). At FDD, PSS can be located in the latest OFDM symbol in the first and eleventh slot in the frame, followed by SSS in the next symbol. In TDD, PSS can be transmitted in the third symbol of the 3rd and 13th slots, while SSS can be transmitted three symbols earlier. The PSS can provide the UE 102 with information as to which of the three groups of physical layers the cells belong to (eg 3 groups of 168 physical layers). One of 168 SSS sequences can be decoded directly after PSS and defines cell group identity directly.
[78] In some embodiments, the UE 102 may be configured in one of the "transmission modes" for PDSCH reception: mode 1: single antenna port, port 0; mode 2: broadcast diversity; mode 3: CDD with large delay; mode 4: spatial multiplexing in feedback loop; mod 5: MU-MIMO; mode 6: spatial multiplexing in feedback loop, 21single layer; mod 7: single antenna port, UE-specific RS (port 5); mode 8,9,10: single or double layer transmission with UE-specific RS (ports 7 and / or 8).
[79] In one embodiment, CSI-RS can be used by UE 102 pre-channel state information measurements (e.g. for CQI feedback). In some embodiments, the CSI-RS may be transmitted periodically in certain antenna ports (eg, up to eight transmitting antenna ports) at different subcarrier frequencies (assigned to the UE) for use in estimating an I / III / 10 channel. In some embodiments, a UE-specific reference signal may be pre-coded in the same way as data when codebook-based pre-coding is applied, although this is not a requirement.
[80] In accordance with some embodiments, the term "antenna port" may refer to a logic antenna for an eNB that can correspond to one or more physical antennas for one or more NBs (or RRHs). The connection between antenna ports and physical antennas may depend on the specific eNB implementation. A logical antenna port can, for example, constitute transmission from several physical antennas with beamforming where the UE 102 does not know the actual beamforming and / or mapping between logical and physical antennas used aveNB. In some embodiments, an antenna port may be the logical antenna on which channel estimation can be performed by UE 102. In some embodiments, there may be a one to one mapping between a physical antenna and an antenna port, although this is not a requirement.
[81] In accordance with some embodiments, two antenna ports may be considered quasi-co-located if the characteristics of the physical layer of the channel over which a symbol of a single antenna port is transmitted can be derived from the channel over which a symbol of the other antenna port is transmitted. In some embodiments, CRS may be transmitted using antenna ports 0,1,2,3 and CSI-RS may be transmitted using antenna ports 15, 16, 17, 18,19, 20, 21 and 22, PDSCH UE specific RS may be transmitted using antenna ports 7, 8 and PDCCH UE-specific RS can be transmitted using antenna ports 107. 108, 109, 110 although the scope of the embodiments is not limited in this regard.
[82] FIG. 5 is a signaling method for quasi-co-located antenna ports for CoMP operations in accordance with some embodiments. Method 500 can be performed by UE, such as UE (FIG. 1) for CoI / IP operations. In operation 501, UE 102 may receive signaling from serving eNB 104 (F | G.1) to indicate one or more reference signals (ie, reference signal 105 for adjacent eNB 106 and / or reference signal 115 for adjacent eNB 116) to use. for independently estimating one or more parameters for physical layer (e.g. time offset) associated with said one or more downlink channels 107 (FIG. 1) which are at least partially relieved and provided by one or more adjacent eNBs.
[84] In operation 502, the UE 102 may estimate the one or more parameters pre-physical layer based on the reception of the indicated reference signal from one or more adjacent eNBs. For example, UE 102 may independently estimate a first time offset based on reception of reference signal 105, and may independently estimate a time offset from reception of reference signal 115.
[85] In operation 504, UE 102 may apply the estimated one or more physical layer parameters to process one or more downlink channels 107 from adjacent eNBs. For example, UE 102 may apply the time offset estimated from reference signal 105 to receive a UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 106 to demodulate the regions in the downlink channel (e.g., e-PDCCH) received from adjacent eNB 106. Further, UE 102 may apply other time offset 115 based on reference eNB 106. receiving UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 116 (e.g., e-PDCCH UE-specific RS) and using UE-specific RS from adjacent eNB 116 to demodulate the regions of the downlink channel (e.g., e-PDCCH) received from adjacent eNB 116. In this For example, after demodulating the downlink channel regions or arrays received from serving eNB 104 and adjacent eNBs, the demodulated information may be combined to provide improved reception and / or bandwidth.
[86] Embodiments may be implemented in one or a combination of hardware, firmware and software. Embodiments may also be implemented as instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium, which may be read and executed by at least one processor to perform the operations described herein. A computer readable storage medium may include a non-transistor information storage mechanism in a format readable by a machine (eg a computer). A computer readable storage medium may include, for example, ROM (Read-Only IVIemOrV), RAM (Random Access Ivlemory), a 23 magnetic disk storage medium, optical storage medium, flash memory devices and other storage devices and media. In some embodiments, the UE 300 (F | G.3) may include one or more processors and may be configured with instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium.
