- Figure 7 illustrates one embodiment of uplink scheduling handling the block issue.
- the uplink transmission from UE 1 may block the transmission from UE 2 as shown in top diagram 710 of Figure 7.
- UE 1 can drop the last symbol in subframe n so to create clear channel assessment (CCA) opportunities for UE 2 scheduled to transmit in subframe n+1 as shown in bottom diagram 720 of Figure 7.
- CCA clear channel assessment
- Figure 8 illustrates one embodiment of uplink scheduling with sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission.
- SRS sounding reference signal
- aperiodic SRS is transmitted along with PUSCH
- SRS can still occupy the last symbol in a UE's uplink transmission.
- wideband SRS is transmitted, it does not need to use the resource interlace to spread the signal over the whole channel. In another word, spreading over the whole channel through resource interlace is used for PUSCH/PUCCH, but not for SRS.
- SRS is requested for UE 1 in subframe n, then a further modification is needed as shown in top diagram 810 of Figure 8. It is also possible to create the empty symbol at the beginning of subframe n+1 instead of subframe n.
- the eNB can signal that in the downlink control, e.g.
- a UE scheduled to transmit in subframe n+1 knows the CCA opportunities (empty symbol) are according to top diagram 810 of Figure 8 (last OFDM symbol in subframe n) or according to bottom diagram 820 of Figure 8 (first OFDM symbol in subframe n+1) .
- Figure 9 illustrates one embodiment of applying co-phasing vector for uplink transmission over PUCCH or PUSCH for PAPR reduction.
- PUCCH or PUSCH is mapped to one resource interlace, e.g., replicating the legacy PUCCH at all the PRBs in one resource interlace, then the PAPR of the resulted waveform can be very high.
- PUCCH format 2 is replicated over 10 PRBs (e.g., taking one resource interlace (PRBs 1, 11, 21, ..., 91) out of 100 PRBs in a 20MHz system) , then PAPR can be very high.
- co-phasing terms are applied to reduce PAPR.
- the PUCCH is repeated in 0 th , 20 th , 40 th , 60 th , and 80 th PRB.
- the replicated signals can be represented as:
- Figure 10 illustrates one example of co-phasing vector using DRMS coefficients. Specifically, it is found that truncated DMRS coefficients provide good PAPR reduction as compared to the simple replication scheme.
- the co-phasing vector is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] for 10 PRB repetitions, as all the co-phasing terms are equal to one.
- the base sequence for DMRS coefficients is given by:
- elements 1-10, 2-11, or 3-12 are selected as the length-10 co-phasing terms as there are 10 PRBs in a resource interlace. Note there are a total of 30 different sets of DMRS coefficients with different ⁇ values. The different sets of DMRS coefficients can be selected by different cells to be applied to different UEs as the co-phasing terms.
- FIG 11 is flow chart of a method of uplink transmission over PUCCH/PUSCH with PAPR reduction in accordance with one novel aspect.
- a user equipment obtains a set of resource blocks for an uplink channel in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communications network.
- the set of resource blocks is distributed along frequency domain to occupy a predefined percentage of an entire channel bandwidth.
- the UE applies a co-phasing vector comprising a set of co-phasing terms, wherein each co-phasing term of the co-phasing vector is applied to a corresponding resource block of the set of resource blocks.
- the UE transmits a radio signal containing uplink information over the uplink channel applied with the co-phasing vector.
- FIG. 12 is a flow chart of a method of uplink scheduling for PUCCH/PUSCH from base station perspective in accordance with one novel aspect.
- a base station allocates a first set of resource blocks to a first user equipment (UE) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communications network.
- the base station allocates a second set of resource blocks to a second UE.
- the first and the second sets of resource blocks comprise interleaved PRBs forming interlaces along frequency domain. Each interlace occupies a predefined percentage of an entire channel bandwidth.
- the base station simultaneously schedules the first UE and the second UE for uplink transmission over the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks respectively.
- Table 1300 shows the multiplexing capacity of PUCCH formats 1/1a/1b/2/2a/2b/3/4/5. Since PUCCH format 1/1a/1b contains at most 12 cyclic shifts and 3 orthogonal covering codes, the maximal multiplexing capacity is 36. Since PUCCH format 2/2a/2b contains 12 cyclic shifts, the multiplexing capacity is 12. PUCCH format 3 contains 5 orthogonal covering codes, and thus the multiplexing capacity is five. The multiplexing capacity of PUCCH format 4 is only one because it contains neither cyclic shift nor orthogonal covering code. For PUCCH format 5, two orthogonal covering codes are used and thus the multiplexing capacity is two.
- PUCCH format 4 is used and it is repeated every M RBs.
- [M/n] PUCCHs from different UEs can be multiplexed in a subframe when the size of PUCCH is n RB.
- the REs of a single PUCCH RB are partially spread into every M RB.
- One PUCCH RB is partitioned into N equal PUCCH partitions, and each partition contains only 12/N of the 12 REs of the original PUCCH.
- N is chosen from ⁇ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 ⁇ .
- the multiplexing capacity of PUCCH format 4 when PUCCH is spread with partial REs is N [M/n] , which is N times larger than the simple repetition method illustrated earlier in Figures 3-5.
- FIG 14 illustrates one example of PUCCH spreading with partial REs of one RB in accordance with one novel aspect.
- the first partition 1 is repeated in RB0, RB40, RB80
- the second partition 2 is repeated in RB 10
- the third partition 3 is repeated in RB 20
- RB 60
- the fourth partition 4 is repeated in RB 30, RB 70.
- the multiplexing capacity of the proposed partial RE spreading method is N times larger than the simple repetition method.
- Figure 15 illustrates one example of partitioned PUCCH block spreading for multiple UEs in accordance with one novel aspect.
- the total channel bandwidth is 25 PRBs along frequency domain, identified as PRB0, PRB1, ...PRB24.
- the 1 st PRB is divided into partition 1, 2, 3, and the 2 nd PRB is also divided into partition 1, 2, 3.
- Partition 1 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB0, and partition 1 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB1.
- Partition 2 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB5, and partition 2 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB6.
- Partition 3 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB10, and partition 3 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB11. The same distribution is repeated for PRB15, PRB16, PRB20, and PRB21.
- the 1 st PRB is divided into partition 1, 2, 3, and the 2 nd PRB is also divided into partition 1, 2, 3.
- Partition 1 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB0, and partition 1 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB1.
- Partition 2 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB5, and partition 2 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB6.
- Partition 3 of the 1 st PRB is distributed over PRB10, and partition 3 of the 2 nd PRB is distributed over PRB11. The same distribution is repeated for PRB15, PRB16, PRB20, and PRB21. It can be seen that because only partial REs of the PUCCH is spread into each PUCCH PRB, both UE0 and UE1 can share the same PUCCH PRB resource allocation.
- the eNB needs to signal the PUCCH PRB and PUCCH partition to each UE. For example, for UE0, the eNB needs to indicate that the PUCCH resource is allocated over PRB0 locates at partition 1, and also PRB1 locates at partition 1. Similarly, for UE1, the eNB needs to indicate that the PUCCH resource is allocated over PRB0 locates at partition 3, and also PRB1 locates at partition 3. If there exists other UEs, then their PUCCH can be allocated in other positions. For example, eNB needs to signal UE2 that its PUCCH resource starts from PRB2 and locates at partition 2, and UE3 its PUCCH resource starts from PRB 0 and locates at partition 2. After each UE receives its own signaling, then it can derive the allocated PUCCH resource and perform uplink transmission.
- Figure 16 illustrates one example of partitioned PUCCH distributed mapping with self-spreading for multiple UEs in accordance with one novel aspect.
- the total channel bandwidth is 25 PRBs along frequency domain, identified as PRB0, PRB1, ...PRB24.
- the 1 st PRB is divided into partition 1, 2, 3, and the 2 nd PRB is also divided into partition 1, 2, 3.

- partition 2 for UE0 and UE1 are mapped to PRB17
- partition 3 for UE0 and UE1 are mapped to PRB22.
- PAPR becomes larger than the case without spreading.
- the proposed method of PUCCH repetition with partial RE spreading it not only increases the multiplexing capacity, but also reduces the PAPR as compared to the simple PUCCH repetition method.
- the earlier proposed co-phasing vector can also be applied to further reduce the PAPR of the resulted radio signal waveform.
