METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION

A method for transmitting channel status information of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE reports first channel information to a base station periodically; and reports second channel information to the base station periodically. The first channel information and the second channel information are pieces of information combined to indicate one precoding matrix. The second channel information reported in a specific subframe is calculated based on last reported first channel information. A channel quality indicator (CQI) reported in the specific subframe is calculated based on one precoding matrix indicated by the last reported first channel information and the second channel information reported in the specific subframe.

20180006699 · 2018-01-04 ·

At a UE, a rank indication is determined for multi-rank CSI feedback for a subband. The UE selects one of multiple combinations of first and second offset levels for the subband to indicate the determined rank indication. Each offset level is for one of two different codewords and denotes an offset between an MCS class reported in a subband CQI and an MCS class in a wideband CQI. The UE transmits one or more indications of the first and second offset levels. A base station receives the one or more indications, and determines the rank indication based on the one or more indications of the first and second offset levels. The base station schedules, based on the determined rank indication, data for transmission to the user equipment using one or multiple ranks.

UPLINK FEEDBACK METHODS FOR OPERATING WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF CARRIERS

A method and apparatus for uplink feedback for operating with a large number of carriers are disclosed herein. A method in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes receiving a plurality of transport blocks over a set of a plurality of configured carriers, generating hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) feedback for the transport blocks and determining a number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits to use for the HARQ-ACK feedback. Further, the WTRU may apply, to the HARQ-ACK feedback bits, Reed-Muller coding on a condition that the number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits is less than or equal to a threshold or convolutional coding on a condition that the number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits is greater than a threshold. The WTRU may then transmit the encoded HARQ-ACK feedback bits. In addition, the WTRU may conditionally append cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits onto the HARQ-ACK feedback bits, and encode and transmit the CRC bits.

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a CSI reporting method, a CSI receiving method, and an apparatus, to resolve a technical problem that PUCCH resource overheads are relatively large during CSI reporting. In embodiments of the present invention, at least two PUCCH resources are configured for each downlink carrier group. CSI that needs to be reported in one uplink subframe may be obtained, and a format of a corresponding PUCCH resource is determined according to the to-be-reported CSI. For example, the determined format is referred to as a first format. Then, all of the to-be-reported CSI is reported after being added to a first first-format PUCCH resource.

A source synchronous data transmission system includes a data transmitting device and a data receiving device. A dedicated data line carries a data signal from the data transmission device to the data receiving device. A dedicated clock line carries a modulated clock signal from the data transmission device to the data receiving device. The data transmission device includes a clock data driver configured to encode data into the modulated clock signal by modulating an amplitude of the modulated clock signal. Thus, the clock line of the source synchronous data transmission system carries the clock signal and additional data.

MANAGING SECONDARY CELL CONNECTIONS IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

In wireless communication networks using carrier aggregation including a secondary component carrier in unlicensed spectrum, a user equipment (UE) may monitor a downlink radio link quality of secondary cells for an event indicating failure of a communication link in the unlicensed spectrum with a secondary cell. The UE detects one or more failure events based on the downlink radio link quality. When a designated set of failure events is detected, the UE declares a failure state on the secondary cell. In response to the failure state, the UE may adjust operations related to the secondary component carrier in the unlicensed spectrum in order to save power and resources.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING APERIODIC CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

A method is provided for receiving aperiodic channel state information (CSI). A base station (BS) transmits, to a user equipment (UE), an uplink downlink control information (DCI) format. The BS receives, from the UE, aperiodic CSI through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) if the BS triggers an aperiodic CSI report using a CSI request field included in the uplink DCI format. The CSI request field is either a 1-bit field or a multi-bit field. When the UE is configured with only one cell, the 1-bit field is included in the uplink DCI. When the UE is configured with more than one channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), the multi-bit field is included in the uplink DCI.
