Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for unlicensed transmission. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving a resource allocation in terms of at least one of a time and a frequency; determining whether a measurement on the allocated frequency is required; performing the measurement on the allocated frequency, when the measurement on the allocated frequency is required; and transmitting on the allocated frequency, when the allocated frequency is clear based on the performed measurement. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
Abstract:
The exemplary embodiments include at least a method and apparatus sending by a second network operator a request to use sub-frames muted by macro cells of a first network operator for use by at least one small cell of the second network operator; receiving information for the use of the muted sub-frames; synchronizing a use of the muted sub-frames; and sending an indication of the synchronized use. In addition, a method and apparatus receiving by a first network operator a request to use sub-frames muted by macro cells of the first network operator for use by at least one small cell of a second network operator; sending information for the use of the muted sub-frames; and receiving an indication of the synchronized use of the muted sub-frames.
Abstract:
A system comprising: a plurality of base stations forming a multicast broadcast single frequency network operating using unlicensed frequency resources; and a network element configured to allocate a transmission period to each of the plurality of base stations, wherein each base station is configured to independently determine whether the unlicensed frequency resources are available for transmission, and transmit a data packet using the unlicensed frequency resources during the allocated transmission period only if the unlicensed frequency resources are determined to be available.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus including a memory configured to store received information, and at least one processing core configured to determine a quality level at which the received information was received, to select, based at least partly on the quality level, a feedback resource, and to decide on causing transmission of feedback on the selected feedback resource.
Abstract:
A method comprising determining a view from a location, the view comprising visual information that is perceivable along a direction extending from the location, causing display of a visual representation of the view on a display such that the view is viewable by a user at a focal depth, determining a different view from the location, the different view comprising visual information that is perceivable along a different direction extending from the location, and causing display of a visual representation of the different view on the display such that the different view is viewable by the user at a different focal depth is disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a mobile or roaming base station are described. An operating mode of a mobile base station is determined, based upon the mobile base station's current location and/or current mobility mode. The operating mode of the mobile base station is switched from a full base station functionality to a limited base station functionality, based upon the determining. A connection to a network is established by the mobile base station.
Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: detect that a mode change is required; and in response to the detection that a mode change is required, select a mode for resource allocation, wherein the mode is selected based on a command received by the apparatus or the mode is selected from a plurality of modes which comprises a first mode and a second mode, and wherein in the first mode the cellular communication and device to device communication are separated in time, and in the second mode the cellular communication and device to device communication take place simultaneously.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for handover of device-to-device (D2D) communications have been disclosed. A method may comprise: receiving, from a first device of a D2D cluster, a first measurement report which indicates a handover of the first device is needed; and determining, according to a D2D handover condition, whether to initiate or postpone the handover based on the first measurement report. In some embodiments, the first measurement report is sent by the first device in response to meeting the D2D handover condition.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and SW for HARQ control are disclosed. The method includes: inputting (504) a beginning part of a data packet received on a specific frequency band and in a scheduled slot between a user apparatus and a radio access network, and supplementary data related to the data packet, into a neural network with trained parameters to predict a success of decoding the data packet after received in full; and controlling (516) a hybrid automatic repeat request procedure associated with the data packet based on the predicted success using the specific frequency band and the scheduled slot for full-duplex inband signalling.
Abstract:
There is provided a method in a radio communication network providing a service for a plurality of devices, the method comprising: determining a service outage probability for a device that is going to move to a sub-area of a coverage area of the network, the service outage probability associated with said sub-area; in response to determining that the service outage probability exceeds a threshold, requesting a measurement device to move to said sub-area and to perform one or more radio frequency measurements; determining whether the service outage probability exceeds another threshold based at least on the requested one or more radio frequency measurements; and triggering at least one action if the service outage probability exceeds said another threshold.
