摘要:
An approach for performing a random access procedure using soft-dedicated preambles is disclosed. A module designates one of a plurality of preambles, associated with one or more random access channels, as a soft-dedicated preamble. The soft-dedicated preamble is used by a user equipment that is either contention-based or non-contention-based.

A pilot structure, a method, and a receiver for multi-carrier cellular communications defining a specific Time Division Multiplexer/Multiplexing pilot pattern and pilot sequence for a sub-frame with short system information. A primary synchronization sequence is configured to be transmitted every predetermine number of sub-frames in a defined bandwidth. A primary common pilot is configured to be transmitted for each sub-frame. Short system information is configured to be transmitted once per frame to define the pilot structure of sub-frames in a frame period to define a structure of a frame period.
摘要:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprises determining at a base station an activity level, and selecting an availability mode based at least in part on the activity level, wherein the availability mode is one of a full-availability mode, a semi-availability mode and a minimum-availability mode. The method also comprises configuring radio resources for at least the minimum-availability mode and switching to the selected availability mode.
摘要:
An apparatus, system, and method for a communication network that includes base stations, mobile terminals, and media servers. A base station may receive enable a device-to-device connection between a media server and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal and the media server may establish the enabled device-to-device connection to create an underlay network within the cellular network, the underlay network including the mobile terminal, the media server, and the device-to-device connection. In some embodiments, the mobile terminal and the media server each include a device-to-device radio that is used to establish and maintain the device-to-device connection.

A method includes receiving a first measurement configuration at a user equipment from a wireless communication network; making measurements using the first measurement configuration; in response to a condition being satisfied resulting from the measurements that are made, transmitting an indication that an allowed small cell has been detected; receiving a second measurement configuration at the user equipment from the wireless communication network; and making measurements of the allowed small cell using the second measurement configuration, where the first measurement configuration results in measurements being made less frequently than measurements made in accordance with the second measurement configuration. An apparatus configured to perform the method is also disclosed.
摘要:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus, comprising at least one processing core configured to receive a first message, the at least one processing core further configured to render the apparatus operable to monitor for at least one of a timing drift and a potential cause of a timing drift; and the at least one processing core further configured to, responsive to determining at least one of a timing drift and a potential cause of a timing drift, cause the apparatus to become operable to cause a transmitter comprised in the apparatus to transmit a second message.
摘要:
Eliminating or reducing transmission of common signals for enhanced spectral efficiency, improved support for heterogeneous networks, network energy saving possibilities, can be obtained by apparatuses and methods according to certain embodiments. A method for operating a user equipment can include receiving a measurement object from a network for detection of one or more predetermined type cells. A cell search can be conducted. When a predetermined type cell is found, cell specific reference signal hopping parameters can be determined. Then, radio resource management measurement can be performed from the cell specific reference signal hopping parameters.

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a user equipment configured to receive local network connectivity information over a first wireless interface, determine a scanning strategy based at least in part on the received information, and discover a local network over a second wireless interface using at least in part the determined scanning strategy.
摘要:
A method is provided for transmitting a message comprising one or more preambles and a message body from a user equipment device to a network entity. The method includes determining whether it is allowed to transmit a first preamble of the message to the network entity in an immediately available time slot of a random access channel, transmitting the first preamble if it is allowed, and transmitting the message body if a positive acknowledgement to the preamble is received from the network entity on another channel. The user equipment device may determine transmitting the preamble invariably, based on a persistence value or an indication received from the network entity, based on whether the device has not transmitted on the random access channel for longer than a predetermined, or based on whether the device has not transmitted on the random access channel for longer than a random time period.
