A downlink control channel transmitted from a base station apparatus includes multiple control channel elements (CCEs), and different PUCCH resources are determined depending on which CCEs are associated with control information destined for user equipments. If a PDSCH in a certain subframe is assigned to a user equipment in an old system, the control information destined for the user equipment is assigned to a certain CCE, and a PDSCH in a subframe after a predefined time period from the certain subframe is assigned to a user equipment in a new system, the control information destined for the user equipment may be associated with a CCE different from the certain CCE. Alternatively, the control information destined for the user equipment in the second system may be associated with the same CCE as the control information destined for the user equipment in the first system but may be spread with different spread codes.

A method for creating variants of a DTV service, a method which is simpler than the method defined in GBS0600, and the method can handle all use-case scenarios for simulcast linking in a way almost equal to that defined in GBS0600. The method introduces switching between a mother service and a variant service, the mother service being a default service to which a receiver should tune, and the variant service being a service selected at a receiver side and linked to the mother service by a service link defining a switching relation between the mother service and the variant service. The method is defined by including switching information into the data-stream of the mother service, receiving the mother service data-stream, reading the switching information, and switching from the mother service to the variant service accordingly. The switching information can be carried in EPG data and thus utilize existing data structures. EPG data of the mother service, e.g. in the form of EIT data, can be used to carry switching data, expect for variant service events different from the mother service, where the EPG / EIT data are preferably cross-carried by the mother and variant service. Preferably, the receiver selects which one of a plurality of possible variant service to switch to, e.g. based on receiver capabilities and / or user access rights. Thus, EIT carriage efficiency for services with a large degree of sharing is high, and it offers advantages in tuning speed. Further, the method will lead to simpler and consistent receiver implementations.

A DC charging circuit has a pair of switches and a battery pack with a maximum voltage capacity, and a power inverter module (PIM). The pair of switches connects / disconnects the battery pack to / from the PIM. An electric machine has phase windings sharing a motor neutral terminal.

In a third embodiment, UPnP eventing and a new state variable capable of indicating the remaining free storage capacity is used.

The invention provides methods for implementing synchronous uplink HARQ process in multiple BS coordinated receiving network. According to one embodiment, for synchronous uplink HARQ process with a relatively short response time limit, the service BS provides a receiving response in accordance with the response time limit, and formally instructs the terminal to retransmit or start a new transmission after the merging is completed. According to another embodiment, the synchronous uplink HARQ process has a response time limit matching the delay of multiple BS Coordinated network, and thus the service BS can transmit receiving response or control signaling on PDCCH after the mergence is completed. Thereby, the synchronous uplink HARQ process in multiple BS Coordinated networks of LTE and LTEA can be implemented.

The invention discloses a transmission layer control method based on network coding. The implementation scheme of the method comprises the following steps: a transmitting terminal divides the data streams to be transmitted into groups and blocks, wherein each block contains blksize groups, and blksize is the value of the bandwidth multiplied by the network delay; the transmitting terminal codes the groups and then sends the groups; a receiving terminal receives the groups, and then initializes a coding coefficient matrix Cblkno and a corresponding loading matrix Pblkno for each block, also fills the matrix by using the parameters in the groups, and then transmits the ACK corresponding to the groups; the transmitting terminal receives the ACK, and acquires the feedback information in the ACK to schedule the transmission of the groups and the update of the network parameters; and if both the coding coefficient matrix Cblkno and the loading matrix Pblkno are in full rank, and the freedom degree of the blocks is enough, the blocks are decoded, and the data is transmitted to the applications. According to the transmission layer control method based on network coding disclosed by the invention, the problem that the data transmission performance of the wireless communication equipment is seriously affected under the public open frequency band with interference can be solved, the throughput can be increased, and the network time delay can be reduced.

Conventionally, all active UEs monitor an absolute grant channel. When a transmission from an eNB occurs, each UE tries to decode the grant message (e.g. by performing a CRC check with its E-RNTI, which is associated uniquely to each UE in the cell). If a UE successfully decodes the grant, it starts a grant update procedure, setting its Serving Grant to the value indicated in the grant message. The eNB then sends a further grant command indicating a Serving Grant value of zero to the other UEs, in order to silence them. According to the invention, any UE which receives an absolute grant that is not intended for it (e.g. the CRC check fails) automatically sets its Serving Grant to zero. This way a single grant command provides an absolute grant for one UE and at the same time silences other UEs in a cell. The eNB does not need to send the further grant command to UEs other than the one for which the absolute grant is intended. With respect to the conventional art, the signalling overhead is thus reduced and the problem of not utilized TTIs (because only one absolute grant may be transmitted per TTI) is solved.

Provided are a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT), with a transmission and receipt processing method and device for time-frequency synchronization between V2X terminals. When a synchronization signal to be transmitted is identical to a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, time-frequency resources configured for the D2D terminal in a cell are reused to transmit the synchronization signal. When synchronization signal to be transmitted is different from a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, reconfigured time-frequency resources are used to transmit the synchronization signal. The synchronization signal transmitted by a V2X terminal indicates a corresponding synchronization source type by using a value of an SLSS sequence index and / or a value of a PSBCH specified field.
