Wireless communication networks are widely deployed to provide a variety of communication services such as telephony, video, messaging, messaging, and broadcasting. Such networks, which are typically multiplexed networks, support the communication of multiple users by sharing available network resources. An example of such a network is the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN). UTRAN is a Radio Access Network (RAN) defined as part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a third generation (3G) mobile phone technology supported by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). UMTS 201130355, a successor to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology, currently supports a variety of null interfacing standards such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Time Division-Code Division Multiple Access (td-CDMA), and Time-sharing-synchronous code division multiplex access (TD-SCDMA). For example, China is pursuing TD-SCDMA as the underlying air intermediary in the UTRAN architecture with its existing GSM infrastructure as its core network. UMTS also supports enhanced 3G data communication protocols such as High Speed Downlink Packet Data (HSDPA), which provides higher data transfer speeds and capacity to associated UMTS networks. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, research and development not only continue to advance UMTS technologies to meet the growing demand for mobile broadband access, but also enhances and enhances the user experience with mobile communications.

The detailed description set forth below with reference to the drawings is intended to be a description of various configurations, and is not intended to represent the only configuration in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. This detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such concepts may be practiced without such specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and elements are illustrated in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts. 'Exemplary Telecommunications System Turning now to Figure 1, a block diagram of an example of telecommunications system 100 is illustrated. The various concepts provided throughout this case can be implemented across a wide variety of telecommunications system network architectures and communication standards. By way of example and not limitation, various aspects of the present invention illustrated in Figure i are provided with reference to a UMTS system employing the TD-SCDMA standard. In this example, the UMTS system includes a Radio Access Network (RAN) 102 (e.g., UTRAN) that provides various wireless services including telephony, video, data, messaging, broadcast, and/or other services. The RAN 102 can be divided into a number of RNSs, such as a radio network subsystem (rns) 107, each RNS being controlled by an RNC such as a Radio Network Controller (RNC) 106. For the sake of clarity, only RNC 106 and RNS 107 are illustrated; however, in addition to RNC 106 and RNS 107, RAN 102 may include any number of RNc and RNS. The RNC 106 is a device that is particularly responsible for assigning, reconfiguring, and releasing radio resources within the RNS 107. The RNC 106 can be interconnected to other RNCs (not shown) in the RAN 102 using any suitable transport network via various types of interfaces, such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, or the like. The geographic area covered by the RNS 107 can be divided into a number of cell service areas where the radio transceiver device serves each cell service area. A radio transceiver device is commonly referred to as a b-node in UMTS applications, but may also be referred to by those skilled in the art as a base station (BS), a base transceiver station 8 201130355 (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, Transceiver functionality, basic service set (BSS), extended service set (ESS), access point (Ap), or some other suitable term. For clarity, two Node Bs 108 are illustrated; however, RNS1〇7 may include any number of Wireless Node Bs. Point 8 108 provides a wireless access point to core network 1〇4 for any number of mobile devices. Examples of mobile devices include cellular phones, smart phones, conversation initiation protocol (SIP) phones, laptops, laptops, laptops, smart computers, personal digital assistants (pD A), satellite radio, global A positioning system (GPS) device, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (eg, an MP3 player), a camera, a game console, or any other similar functional device. A mobile device is commonly referred to as a user equipment (UE) in an application, but can also be referred to as a mobile station (MS), a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, and a wireless unit. , remote unit, mobile device, wireless device, wireless communication device, m-terminal device, mobile subscriber station, access terminal (AT), mobile terminal, wireless terminal, remote terminal, handset, terminal, user agent, Action, client, client, or some other suitable term. To illustrate L. Also known as the communication link of the forward UE, the two UEs 11〇 are in communication with the Node B1〇8. The downlink (DL) of the link represents from the b-node to the υΣ

The uplink link (UL), also referred to as the reverse link, represents the ue to B section. The J-core network 104, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art,

• GSM core network. However, the various aspects provided throughout this case are intended to provide the UE with access to other types of core networks other than the GSM network. In this example, core network 1.4 uses a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 112 and a Closed Loop MSC (GMSC) 114 to support circuit switched services. One or more RNCs, such as RNC 106, may be connected to MSC 112. The MSC 112 is a device that controls dialing setup, dialing routing, and UE mobility functions. The MSC 112 also includes a Visitor Location Register (VLR) (not shown) that contains information about the user during the UE's coverage within the MSC 112. The GMSC 114 provides a gateway through the MSC 112 for accessing the circuit switched network 116. The GMSC 114 includes a Home Location Register (HLR) (not shown), and the HLR contains user profiles such as information that reflects the details of the services that a particular user has subscribed to. The HLR is also associated with an Authentication Center (AuC) that contains user-specific authentication information. Upon receiving a call for a particular UE, the GMSC 114 queries the HLR to determine the location of the UE and forwards the call to the particular Msc serving the location. The core network 104 also supports the packet data service by the serving GpRS support node (SGSN) 118 and the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) 12〇. The GPRS, which represents the universal packet radio service, is designed to provide packet data services at a higher speed than is available with standard GSM circuit switched data services. The GGSN 120 provides the RAN 102 with a connection to the packet-based network 122. The packet-based network 122 can be the Internet, a proprietary data network, or some other suitable packet-based network. The primary function of the GGSN 12 is to provide packet-based network connectivity to the UE 110. The data packet is transmitted between the GGSN 120 and the UE 11 〇 2 via the SGSN 118, which performs substantially the same function as the MS (: 112 functions performed in the circuit switched 10 201130355 domain) in the packet-based domain. The UMTS null plane is spread spectrum Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) system. Spread spectrum DS-CDMA spreads user data over a much wider bandwidth by multiplying a sequence of pseudo-random bits called chips. The TD-SCDMA standard is based on such direct sequence spread spectrum techniques and additionally requires time division duplexing (TDD) rather than frequency division duplexing (FDD) as used in many fj)D mode UMTS/W-CDMA systems. ). TDD uses the same carrier frequency for both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) between Node B 108 and UE 110' but divides the uplink and downlink transmissions into different time slots of the carrier. FIG. 2 illustrates a frame structure 200 of a TD-SCDMA carrier. As illustrated, the TD-SCDMA carrier has a frame 2〇2 of length 1 〇 ms. Frame 2〇2 has two 5 ms subframes 204, and each subframe 2〇4 includes seven time slots TS0 to TS6. The first time slot TS0 is often allocated for downlink communication, while the second time slot TS1* is often allocated for uplink communication. The remaining time slots TS2 to TS6 may be used for the uplink or may be used for the downlink key, which allows for greater time during the time of the same data transmission in the uplink direction or in the downlink direction. Flexibility. The downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS) 206, the guard period (GP) 208, and the uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS) 210 (also referred to as the uplink pilot channel (UpPCH)) are located at TS0 and TS1. between. Each time slot TS〇_TS6 allows multiplexing of data transmission over a maximum of 16 code channels. The data transmission on the code channel includes two data portions 212 separated by a mid-order signal 214 and is followed by a guard period (GP) 216. The mid-order signal 214 can be used for features such as the 201130355 channel estimate, and the towel GP 216 can be used to avoid short interpulse interference. 3 is a block diagram of the B node 31 RAN in the RAN 300 in communication with the UE 35〇, where the RAN 300 may be the RAN 102 of FIG. 1, and the B node 310 may be the Node B 1〇8 of FIG. 1, UE 350 It can be the UE 110 in FIG. In downlink communications, transmit processor 320 can receive data from data source 312 and control signals from controller/processor 34A. Transmit processor 320 can provide various signal processing functions for data and control signals as well as reference signals such as 'lead frequency signals. For example, transmit processor 320 may provide cyclic redundancy check (crc) code encoding and interleaving for error detection to facilitate forward error correction (FEC), based on various modulation schemes (eg, binary shift phase keying (BPSK)) , Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QpsK), Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK), Μ Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, and the like) mapping to signal clusters, expansion with orthogonal variable spreading factor (〇vsf) And multiplying by the agitation code to produce a series of symbols. The channel estimate from channel processor 344 can be used by controller/processor 34 to determine a coding, modulation, spreading, and/or scrambling scheme for transmit processor 320. The channel estimates can be derived from reference signals transmitted by the UE 350 or from feedback contained in the intermediate order signal 214 (Fig. 2) from the UE 35A. The symbols generated by the transmit processor 320 are provided to the transmit frame processor do to establish a frame structure. The transmit frame processor 330 creates the frame structure by multiplexing the symbols with the midamble signal 214 (Fig. 2) from the controller/processor 340 to obtain a series of frames. The frames are then provided to a transmitter 332 that provides various signal conditioning functions including amplifying, filtering, and modulating the 12 201130355 frames onto a carrier for wireless communication via smart antenna 334 Perform downlink link transmission. Smart antenna 334 can be implemented with beam steering bidirectional adaptive antenna arrays or other similar beam techniques. At UE 350, receiver 354 receives the downlink key transmission via antenna 352 and processes the transmission to recover the information modulated onto the carrier. The information recovered by the receiver 354 is provided to the receiving frame processor "o. The receiving frame processor parses each frame and provides the intermediate sequence signal 214 (FIG. 2) to the channel processor 394 and the data The control and reference signals are provided to the receive processor 370. The receive processor 37A then performs the inverse of the processing performed by the transmit processor 320 in the b-node 310. More specifically, the receive processor 3 70 descrambles The symbols are despread, and then the signal cluster points most likely to be transmitted by Node B 3 are determined based on the modulation scheme. The soft decisions can be based on channel estimates computed by channel processor 394. The soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to Restoring the data, control and reference signals. The CRC code is then checked to determine if the frame has been successfully decoded. The data carried by the successfully decoded frame will then be provided to the data slot 372, which is represented at the UE 350. And/or applications executed in various user interfaces (eg, 'displays'). Control signals carried by successfully decoded frames will be provided to controller/processor 390. When receiving The controller/processor 390 may also use an acknowledgement (ACK) and/or negative acknowledgement (NACK) protocol to support retransmission requests for the frame when the processor 37 is unsuccessful in decoding the frame. In the middle, data from data source 378 and control signals from controller/13 201130355 processor 390 are provided to transmit processor 38. Data source 3 78 can be representative of UE 350 and various user interfaces (eg, keyboard) Application executed in. Similar to the functionality described in connection with the downlink transmission made by Node B, the Transmit Processor 38 provides various signal processing functions including CRC code, coding and interleaving to facilitate FEC, to signal clustering. Mapping, spreading with OVSF, and scrambling to generate a series of symbols. The reference signal transmitted by the channel processor 394 from the Node B 310 or derived from the feedback contained in the mid-order signal transmitted by the Node B 310 Channel estimation can be used to select an appropriate coding, modulation, spreading, and/or scrambling scheme. The symbols generated by transmit processor 380 will be provided to transmit frame processor 382 to establish a frame structure. The transmit frame processor 382 establishes the job structure by multiplexing the symbol with the midamble signal 214 (FIG. 2) from the controller/processor 39A, thereby obtaining a frame to be subsequently provided to the transmitter. 356' The transmitter provides various signal conditioning functions including amplifying, chopping, and modulating the frames onto a carrier for uplink transmission over the wireless medium via antenna 352. At Node B 3H) The uplink key transmission is handled in a manner similar to that described in connection with the receiver function at the UE 35. The receiver milk receives the uplink transmission via antenna 334 and processes the transmission to recover the information modulated onto the carrier. The information recovered by the receiver 335 is supplied to the reception subtraction processing H 336, the receiving frame processor parses each frame, and supplies the intermediate sequence signal 214 (FIG. 2) to the channel processor % and the data, control and The reference signal is provided to the receive processor 338. The receive processor 338 performs the inverse processing of the process 201130355 performed by the transmit processor 380 in the UE 350. The data and control signals carried by the successfully decoded frame can then be provided to the data slot 339 and the controller/processor, respectively. If the receive processor 370 decodes some of the frames unsuccessfully, the controller/processor may also use the acknowledgement (ACK) and/or negative acknowledgement (NACK) protocols to support the retransmission request for the frames. Controllers/processors 34A and 390 can be used to direct operations at Node B 3 1 and UE 350, respectively. For example, the controller/processor 34 can provide a variety of functions including timing, peripheral interfaces, voltage regulation, power management, and other control functions. The computer readable media of the memories 342 and 392 can store data and software for the Node B 31 and the UE. Scheduler/processor 346 at Node B 310 can be used to allocate resources to U]E and schedule downlink and/or uplink transmissions for the UE. Exemplary TD-SCDMA Frame Structure FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) frame 400 in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. As described above with respect to the frame structure 200 of FIG. 2, the TD-SCDMA frame 400 can, for example, comprise a 10 ms frame that is subdivided into two 5 ms subframes 204. Each subframe 204 can include seven traffic time slots (TS) 420 for uplink (ul) and downlink (DL) communications. TD-SCDMA is based on time division and code division to allow multiple UEs to share the same radio bandwidth. Downlink and uplink transmissions share the same bandwidth in different TSs. There are multiple code channels in each time slot. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, there may be one DL time slot (TS0), followed by three UL time slots (TS1-TS3), and then three DL time slots (TS4-TS6). Typically, 15 201130355 TS〇 is allocated for the system management burden channel (eg, P-CCPCH, S_CXPeH 'PIC: H m Μ ^T6 is allocated for the traffic channel (eg, h, HS-PDSCH, e_puch) As shown in Figure 4, it can be assigned for the downlink and can convey control messages such as broadcast channels (bch). The towel TS1 can be allocated for the uplink. In each subframe 204, it is possible There are two switching points that separate the uplink from the downlink key (from the uplink to the downlink and vice versa). The first switching point can be located in the downlink key pilot time slot (MTS) and uplink. The guard period (GP) 2G8 between the pilot time slots (UpPTS) 2i〇. The second switching point can occur anywhere between the end of the call and the end of TS6. The second switch point can be used to (4) the sub-frame's traffic. In essence, it can be symmetric or asymmetric. In the asymmetric mode, at least one uplink time slot and one downlink time slot can be allocated for traffic. As shown in Figure 4, regardless of the asymmetry The degree may be, the Asian 襄, GP2 〇 aUpPTS210 can be located in Ts〇 and called DWPTS 2〇6 can be used for downlink synchronization. GP 208 can determine the maximum cell service area size. UPPTS210 can be used by Node B to determine the received power level and reception timing from the UE. As shown in Figure 4, Each time slot 42〇2 3 2 data booths 212. The intermediate sequence signal 214 can be located between the two assets, between 2! 2 and (4) for training sequences for measurement and synchronization. SCDMA High Speed Downlink Packet Access (Curry) Protocol

Three physical channels: a high-speed real-link link sharing channel (HS_PDSCH) carrying user data packets, a modulation and coding scheme carrying data bursts for Hs_pDscH 16 201130355, and channelization code and time slot resource information High-speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH), and channel quality indicator (CQI) carrying HS-PDSCH transmission and high-speed shared information channel (HARQ) ACK/NACK (acknowledgment/negative acknowledgement) HS-SICH). On the other hand, in the TD-SCDMA High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) protocol, four physical channels can be utilized: an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) physical uplink channel carrying ul data bursts ( E-PUCH), E-DCH random access uplink control channel (E-RUCCH) carrying E-DCH associated UL control command when E-PUCH resource is unavailable, e_dch carrying uplink absolute grant control information Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH), and E-DCH Hybrid ARQ Acknowledge Indicator Channel (E-HICH) carrying HARQ ACK/NACK. Partial Frequency Reuse Figure 5 illustrates an example arrangement of cell service areas belonging to adjacent Node B. Each cell service area can have an internal portion 502 that is adjacent to the Node B. Each cell service area may also have an outer portion 504, also referred to as the edge of the cell service area. A common problem arises when the user equipment (UE) is located at the edge of the cell service area (e.g., at the outer portion 504). The downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) interference at the edge of the cell service area is increased compared to when the UE is located near the Node B (e.g., in the internal portion 5〇2). Interference is typically caused by overlapping signals from adjacent cell service areas. One solution is to use a more robust forward error correction (Fec) scheme 17 201130355 and increase the expansion factor to SF = 16 . However, using FEC in this manner may not be desirable. According to various aspects of the present case, interference can be controlled by using a higher frequency reuse factor = 2 or 3. When the UE is closer to the Node B, a general frequency reuse factor of 1 is used for transmission. This is called partial frequency reuse. As shown in Fig. 5, in the inner portion 502 of the cell service area, the frequency fi can be used, but in the outer portion 5 〇4 of the cell service area, the frequency can be reused in the case of the spatial reuse factor > For example, one cell service area may use F3 in its outer portion 502 and another adjacent cell service area may use F2) in its outer portion 502. This partial frequency reuse reduces interference at the edge of the cell service area. An added benefit is that the success rate of hard handover can be increased due to the improved SINr (noise-to-interference ratio). This may be beneficial for systems that rely on hard handover and relay handover, such as TD-SCDMA. In accordance with various aspects of the present invention, techniques and apparatus are provided that allow and/or support partial frequency reuse in a TD_SCDMA system. In some aspects, performance and delivery at the edge of the cell service area are improved. The resources of the TD-SCDMA system can be time slots or frequencies. According to some aspects, some time slots and/or frequencies may be allocated to allow spatial reuse factors, while the remaining time slots and/or frequencies may be allocated to allow reuse of the internal area of the cell service area, which is likely to be non-interfering, thus The same time slot and/or frequency can be used for these internal areas. The power can be adjusted to ensure that there is no interference in the internal cell service area. However, the outer area of the cell service area should not substantially share the same time slot and frequency. In other words, the external cell service area can be assigned to different time slots and/or different frequencies. As an example, Fig. 6 illustrates a case where there is only one frequency. For example, cell service area 1 is assigned TS0 for system management burden channels, TS1 and TS4 for internal channel 602 traffic channel operations, and TS3 and TS6 for external area 604 traffic channel operations. Cell service area 2 is assigned TS0 for system management burden channels, TS1 and TS4 for internal channel 606 traffic channel operations, and TS2 and TS5 for external area 608 traffic channel operations. Therefore, the allowable frequency reuse factor = 2 is used for the outer regions 604, 608. In the case of a multi-carrier frequency cell service area, resources can be allocated statically or dynamically across frequencies. Figure 7 illustrates an exemplary assignment of 3 frequency carriers. Each of the cell service areas 1, 2 and 3 may have the following shared allocation: TS0 for all 3 frequencies is used for the system management burden channel, and TS1, TS2, TS4 and TS5 for all 3 frequencies are used for the internal area 7〇2 Traffic channel operation. In addition, each of the cell service areas 1, 2 and 3 has a different allocation for external area operations. Cell service area 1 can be assigned a frequency 1 TS3 and TS6 for the traffic channel operation of external area 704. The cell service area 2 can be assigned TS3 and TS6 of frequency 2 for the traffic channel operation of the external area 7〇6. The cell service area 3 can be assigned a frequency 3 of TS3 and TS6 for the traffic channel operation of the external area 708. Thus, each of the outer regions of the cell service area has a time slot of a different frequency according to some aspects, and a frequency reuse factor = 3 can be supported for the outer region of the cell service area. It may be desirable to vary the time slots for the same frequency in other aspects of the 'cell' service area. Interference between adjacent cell service areas can be eliminated as long as the outer portion of the cell service area does not share the same time slot with the same frequency (except for the management burden signal). Another aspect of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. Each of the cell service areas ι, 2, and 3 may have the following shared allocation: TS0 is used for the system management burden channel' and TS1 and TS4 of all three frequencies are used for the traffic channel operation of the internal cell service area 802. The cell service area 1 can be assigned TS1, TS3, TS5 and TS6 of frequency 1 for the traffic channel operation of the outer area 804. Cell service area 2 can be assigned TS2, TS3, TS5 and TS6 of frequency 2 for traffic channel operation of external area 806. The cell service area 3 can be assigned TS2, TS3, TS5 and TS6 of frequency 3 for the traffic channel operation of the external area 8〇8. Depending on the aspect, resources may be dynamically allocated depending on the internal cell service area area compared to the resource requirements of the external cell service area area. For example, if there are many UEs communicating in the outer zone and relatively few ues are communicating in the inner zone, the resource allocation may allow more time slots and/or frequencies to be used in the outer zones. An example of an allocation that may be beneficial to the use of an external cell service area is shown in Figure 8. Similarly, if there are many Ue communicating in the internal area and relatively few UEs are communicating in the external area, the resource allocation may allow more time slots and/or frequencies to be used in the internal areas. An example of an allocation that may be beneficial for the use of internal cell service area areas is illustrated in Figure 7. According to some aspects, if the UE operating in the inner region changes significantly compared to the relative number of UEs operating in the outer region, then the resource allocation can be changed such that the increased time slot and/or frequency is available upon request Use where. 201130355 Resource changes Field E from within. When the P cell service area is moved to the external cell service area, the network may allocate different resources (ie, the UE may switch to the time slot and/or frequency allocated by the internal or external area, as appropriate. And set). To trigger this change, the network can command the UE to provide some internal measurement report with the following reporting qualities or other parameters: TAD, which is the amount of time advance defined by the time difference TRX - ττχ. Figure 9 illustrates this parameter. The RX is determined from the start time of the first uplink time slot in the first subframe used by the UE together with the ue timing of the reception according to the start of a certain downlink time slot. Ττχ 904 is calculated from the start time of the same uplink time slot of the UE. For example, if the UE is fully synchronized in the UL transmission, the TADV 906 is essentially a round trip delay (rtd) with the b node, which is proportional to the distance to the Node B. The specific parameter TH can be specified as a threshold value for detecting whether the ue is in the inner cell service area or the outer cell service area. According to some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE can be configured to report Tadv measurements. For example, the UE can be configured to report when TADV > TH (i.e., the UE traverses from the internal cell service area to the external cell service area). The UE may also be configured to report when TADV <TH (i.e., the UE traverses from the outer cell service area to the internal cell service area). Figure 10A illustrates an exemplary exchange between b-nodes and ues in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. The Node B can transmit a measurement control signal 1 002 to configure the UE to measure and report the TADV. If the UE does not switch from the internal cell service area area to the external cell service area area or vice versa (ie, if the TADV does not cross the threshold 21 201130355 value tadv=Th), then communication 1 (M can be on the existing allocated resources) When the Node B detects that the UE location changes between the internal area and the external area based on the measurement report ,6, the Node B can reconfigure the DpcH using the physical channel reconfiguration message or the radio bearer reconfiguration signal 1〇〇8. (Dedicated physical channel) in an effort to redistribute the corresponding frequency space reuse factor resources. The UE can then confirm the completion of resource reallocation with signal 1〇1〇. Communication 1012 can then be exchanged on the reassigned time and/or frequency resources. Figure 10B illustrates another exemplary exchange between a Node B and a ue in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. For example, the UE may operate under HSDpA, or in other words, the UE is in HS-PDSCH (High Speed Physical Downlink) The shared channel) 1016 receives the DL idle data bundle e. Similarly, the UE can operate in the lower, that is, the UE is uploading on the E_PUCH (Enhanced Private Channel Physical Uplink Channel) 1018. High-speed UL data cluster. As described above, Node B can transmit measurement control signal 1〇〇2 to configure 1; measure and report tadv. If tadv does not cross the threshold Tadv=Th, then communication 1〇16, The 1018 may be exchanged with the threshold frequency and time resources according to the TADV allocated by the Node B using the hS_SCCH (High Speed Shared Control Channel) or E-AGCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel Absolute Grant Channel) ι〇ΐ4. Upon receiving the report TADV=TH crossover After the measurement report 1006, the Node B can use the HS-SCCH or E-AGCH 1G2G to allocate the data burst to the new time slot of the different frequency reuse factor. For example, the communication service (10) can then be exchanged according to the reallocated resources. According to the various aspects of the case, provide frequency for time slot/frequency resource allocation. 22 201130355 Rate space reuse can improve the edge performance of cell service area and enhance the handover performance in TD-SCDMA system. Allocate resources for internal and The external cell service area area usage map is conceptually illustrated as an exemplary block for performing resource allocation in a wireless communication network, for example, from the point of view of the node b. The operations illustrated by block 1100 can be performed, for example, at processor 346 and/or 340 from node B 31 of Figure 3. At block 11〇2, the Node B can allocate at least a first time slot of the subframe. The first group of UEs in the inner region of the first cell service area are shared for use. At block 11〇4, the Node B can allocate at least a second time slot of the same subframe for the outer region of the first cell service area. The second group of UEs uses, for some aspects, at block 1106, the Node B can optionally allocate the at least first time slot of the subframe for the third group in the interior region of the second cell service area Used by the UE. At block 1108, the Node B can optionally allocate at least a third time slot of the same subframe for use by the fourth group in the outer region of the second cell service area. The Node B can transmit the subframe by using the allocated time slot. Figure 12 is a functional block diagram conceptually illustrating an exemplary block 12, e.g., performed from the perspective of a UE to receive resource allocations in a wireless communication network. The operations illustrated by block 1200 can be performed, for example, at transmitter 356, receiver 354, and antenna 352 from 1; £35 of FIG. Operation may begin at block 12〇2 by transmitting a parameter that refers to the distance between the UE and the Node B. For some aspects, this parameter can include a time advance (Tadv) measurement. At block 1204, the UE may receive a first assignment of at least a first time slot of the subframe for use when the parameter indicates that the UE is in the inner zone 23 201130355 domain of the first cell service zone. At block 1206, the UE may receive a second allocation of at least a second time slot of the same subframe for use when the parameter indicates that the UE is in an outer region of the first cell service area. For some aspects, at block 1208, the UE may receive a _ allocation of at least a first time slot of the same subframe for use when the parameter indicates that the UE is in an internal region of the second cell service area.
