Title: Downlink transmission scheduling based on channel condition measurements when using carriers of reduced bandwidth
Inventor: WAKABAYASHI HIDEJI
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2013-01-16
Abstract: A base station for use in a wireless telecommunications system is described. A terminal in communication with the base station is a reduced capability terminal device, such as an MTC device, The terminal comprises a tunable transceiver configured to receive downlink transmissions from the base station using a virtual carrier, which uses a restricted frequency bandwidth which is smaller than and within the system bandwidth. The terminal sequentially tunes its transceiver to different frequency locations for the restricted frequency bandwidth and makes measurements of channel conditions. The terminal communicates information derived from the measurements to the base station. The base station schedules subsequent downlink transmissions for the terminal on frequencies selected taking into account the information received from the terminal. The information may indicate a preferred frequency location, or locations for which measurements meet a pre-defined selection criterion. The downlink frame structure may comprise a series of time-slots, with measurements of conditions for different frequency locations being made in different time slots. Consecutive measurements may be made in non-consecutive time-slots. The base station may transmit to the terminal a plurality of resource allocation messages, possibly at different frequency locations, indicating uplink resources to be used for sending channel condition reports.
