A method, an apparatus, and a system for video communications include: transmitting, from a first apparatus using a network, a first video stream of a first user to a second apparatus of a second user, wherein the first user is in video communication with the second user; receiving, from the second apparatus using the network, a second video stream of the second user; determining, by a processor, a reaction of the second user to an area of interest in the first video stream using the second video stream; and updating, in response to the reaction of the second user to the area of interest in the first video stream, a parameter for encoding the area of interest in the first video stream at the first apparatus.

Disclosed in the present application is a method by which a terminal having a plurality of distributed antenna groups transmits and receives a signal in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: calculating channel quality indicators for each of distributed antenna groups; selecting a preferred distributed antenna group among the distributed antenna groups on the basis of the channel quality indicators; and reporting information on the channel quality indicators to a base station, wherein the method further comprises a step for reporting information on the preferred distributed antenna group to the base station when the preferred distributed antenna group differs from the preselected specific distributed antenna group.

A technique for communicating protocol data units, PDUs, in a radio communication from a transmitter (100) to a receiver (200) is described. As to a method aspect of the technique, one or more control messages indicative of Quality of Service, QoS, requirements for the radio communication are received. The QoS requirements include a control command for a reliability of the radio communication and a control command for a latency of the radio communication. A batch of redundant PDUs is transmitted from the transmitter (100) to the receiver (200). A number of the redundant PDUs per batch depends on the control command for the reliability and a temporal spread of the redundant PDUs per batch depends on the control command for the latency.

The described technology is generally directed towards dynamically changing which quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) table a user equipment is to use based on channel quality information. A network schedules a user equipment with 256 QAM modulation if the user equipment recommends 256 QAM in the CQI report (and the scheduler decides to use 256 QAM for that particular user equipment). The network indicates to the user equipment that it has to use 256 QAM modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table and not the configured QAM MCS table while determining the scheduling parameters by decoding PDCCH.

A system for transmitting data packets includes at least one access point and at least one terminal. The access point receives data packets transmitted by the terminal in compliance with a multiple access protocol including carrier detection, and transmits to the terminal at least the width of the contention window that the terminal is to observe for transmitting a packet. The transmitted packets are coded using an erasure code and the access point is further adapted to decode the received packets. The system may be applied to networks such as WLANs.

A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE) includes communicating with a base station using a baseline channel code. The UE indicates to the base station, using the baseline channel code, support for an additional channel code that is different than the baseline channel code. The UE receives, from the base station, an indication to operate using the additional channel code. Then, the UE receives a first transmission on first set of resources and a second transmission on a second set of resources from the base station, the first transmission being encoded with the baseline channel code and the second transmission being encoded with the additional channel code.

A system and method for predictive adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) is disclosed. Predictive ACM is used between a transmitting terminal that is in motion and a stationary receiving terminal without a return link between the terminals where the geometry and link impairments are known in advance. A system and method for predictive ACM in a system including one or more relay terminals between the transmitting and receiving terminals, where the geometry and link impairments between all of the terminals are known in advance is also disclosed.

In MIMO wireless communication networks, receiver MIMO antenna parameters are not static over time. For example, the MIMO channel correlation is higher for high frequency bands than for low frequency bands. This variability of the receiver antenna parameters introduces uncertainty based the reported CSI (e.g., CQI, PMI, RI) if the network uses only static assumptions for such antenna parameter values. In embodiments, the UE determines the current status of its receive antenna parameterssuch as number, configuration, correlation, and power imbalanceand transmits this information to the network (e.g., serving BS). The network node then based on the received information performs one or more radio operational tasks leading to more efficient use of radio resources and enhanced system performance.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to determine a priority indicator for an upcoming transmission between the UE and a base station and transmit the priority indicator to the base station. The base station may receive the priority indicator, determine a network condition, and may transmit control information for a downlink transmission. The control information may include an indication of a set of modulation and coding schemes to select from a plurality of sets of modulation and coding schemes and an index value for an entry in the selected set of modulation and coding scheme, where the indication is based on the priority indicator and a network condition. The UE may identify a combination of a modulation order and a code rate for the downlink transmission based on the indication of modulation and coding scheme table and the index value.
