Technologies for transmitting or receiving an aggregate physical layer protocol data unit
A transmission apparatus includes a signal generator which, in operation, generates a signal having an aggregate physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) that includes a legacy preamble, a legacy header, a non-legacy preamble, a plurality of non-legacy headers and a plurality of data fields; and a transmitter which, in operation, transmits the generated signal, wherein the legacy preamble, the legacy header and the plurality of non-legacy headers are transmitted using a standard bandwidth, the non-legacy preamble and the plurality of data fields are transmitted using a variable bandwidth that is larger than the standard bandwidth and wherein a plurality of sets of each of the plurality of non-legacy headers and each of the plurality of data fields are transmitted sequentially in a time domain.
Priority-based channel coding for control information
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for priority-based channel coding for control information. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may sort control information associated with a first control information type into a first control information group and the control information associated with a second control information type into a second control information group, for example, based on respective priorities associated with the first and second control information types. The WTRU may group one or more bits of the first control information group into a first bit level control information group and a second bit level control information group based on priority. The WTRU may selectively apply a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to the first control information group, the second control information group, the first bit level control information group, and/or the second bit level control information group.
SCALABLE HEADER EXTENSION
Systems and methods for extending header fields are disclosed. The header field may be extended without changing the current size of the header. Reserve bits may be used to indicate the use of an extended header and the extended header may be store in a variety of locations within the frame, including the frame payload or pad bits.
MULTIPLEXING HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST FEEDBACK
A method, network node and a wireless device for multiplexing HARQ feedback are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes transmitting a first hybrid automatic repeat request, HARQ, feedback responsive to a first downlink, DL, transmission, the first HARQ feedback transmitted using not more than an indicated number of bits, the first DL transmission having a first priority. The method also includes transmitting a second HARQ feedback responsive to a second DL transmission, the second DL transmission having a second priority higher than the first priority. The method further includes multiplexing the first HARQ feedback and the second HARQ feedback using not more than the indicated number of bits for the first HARQ feedback, to produce a multiplexed HARQ feedback.
Method and Apparatus for Generating a Channel State Information Report Adapted to Support a Partial Omission
Generating a channel state information (CSI) feedback report is provided. A set of reference signals is received (1502). A set of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report is computed (1504). Each entry has a most significant bit, and one or more remaining bits, where an order of each of the entries in the CSI feedback report are arranged based upon a bit level classification of the entries (1508). A value of the most significant bit of each of the entries is identified, and the entries, which have a most significant bit value corresponding to a higher bit value have the remaining bits arranged in a group that is positioned in the CSI feedback report prior to a group of tire remaining bits of the entries, which have a most significant bit value corresponding to a lower bit value (1510).
Method and Apparatus for Generating a Channel State Information Report Adapted to Support a Partial Omission
Generating a channel state information (CSI) feedback report is provided. A set of reference signals is received. A plurality of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report are computed, where the entries of the CSI feedback report include at least a set of coefficients. Each coefficient is associated with a set of indices including at least one or more of a spatial domain basis index, a frequency domain basis index, and a layer index. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are arranged in an order known to both the user equipment and the network entity. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are prioritized using indices corresponding to the set of indices, where a subset of the set of indices are permuted based on predefined permutations of the subset of the set of indices.
UPLINK CONTROL SIGNALING IN CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A method, apparatus, and computer program for controlling allocation of control message fields in uplink transmission in a cellular telecommunication system are presented. Uplink control message fields are allocated to the resources of a physical uplink shared traffic channel according to an uplink transmission scheme selected for a user terminal. The control message fields are allocated so that transmission performance of the control messages is optimized for the selected uplink transmission scheme.
METHOD OF TRANSMISSION OF A DATA PACKET, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND TRANSCEIVER DEVICE
A transceiver device includes a controller arranged to identify a first set of control information within the data packet, and to re-map the data packet such that the first set of control information is mapped on bits known to be more robust. The transceiver device further includes a transmitter arranged to transmit the re-mapped data packet. The first set of control information holds information which enables for identification to combine soft bits from repeated transmissions at a receiver of the packet. The bits known to be more robust have more distinct value distribution in signal space of a used modulation and coding scheme than other bits. The transceiver device is arranged to transmit a data packet. A corresponding method, computer program, access point and station are also disclosed.
