Abstract

Methods and devices for offloading and/or aggregation of resources to coordinate uplink transmissions when interacting with different schedulers are disclosed herein. A method in a WTRU includes functionality for coordinating with a different scheduler for each eNB associated with the WTRU's configuration. Disclosed methods include autonomous WTRU grand selection and power scaling, and dynamic prioritization of transmission and power scaling priority.

Claims (28)

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to receive information which includes a grant for an uplink transmission, wherein the information is received based on a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) or a second RNTI;

the processor further configured to determine a parameter for the uplink transmission, wherein the processor determines the parameter from a first set of parameters on a condition that the information is received based on the first RNTI or from a second set of parameters on a condition that the information is received based on the second RNTI; and

the processor further configured to transmit the uplink transmission based on the determined parameter.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises a downlink control information (DCI).

3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the parameter comprises a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

4. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first set of parameters comprises a first MCS table, and the second set of parameters is a second MCS table.

5. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.

6. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the parameter implicitly based on a search space in which the information is decoded.

7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the parameter explicitly based on the RNTI based on which the information is received.

8. A method implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving information which includes a grant for an uplink transmission, wherein the received information is received based on a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) or a second RNTI;

determining a parameter for the uplink transmission from a first set of parameters on a condition that the information is received based on the first RNTI or from a second set of parameters on a condition that the information is received based on the second RNTI; and

transmitting the uplink transmission based on the determined parameter.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the information comprises a downlink control information (DCI).

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the parameter comprises a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first set of parameters comprises a first MCS table, and the second set of parameters is a second MCS table.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the parameter is determined implicitly based on a search space in which the information is decoded.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the parameter is determined explicitly based on the RNTI based on which the information is received.

15. A base station comprising:

a processor configured to transmit information which includes a grant for an uplink transmission, wherein the information is transmitted based on a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) or a second RNTI, wherein a parameter is determinable for the uplink transmission from a first set of parameters on a condition that the information is transmitted based on the first RNTI or from a second set of parameters on a condition that the information is transmitted based on the second RNTI; and

the processor is further configured to receive the uplink transmission based on the parameter.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the information comprises a downlink control information (DCI).

17. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the parameter comprises a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

18. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the first set of parameters comprises a first MCS table, and the second set of parameters is a second MCS table.

19. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.

20. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the parameter is determinable implicitly based on a search space in which the information is decoded, or explicitly based on the RNTI based on which the information is received.
