Abstract:
A method for operating resources by a base station in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting at least one beam to at least one terminal, receiving strength information of the at least one beam from the at least one terminal, determining at least one of resources which are not used for communication between the at least one terminal and the base station, and resources, whose interference to communication between the base station and the at least one terminal is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, based on the strength information of the at least one beam, and allocating the determined resources as resources for communication which is performed between terminals without the base station.
Abstract:
An apparatus for an idle mode terminal is configured to perform a method for operating the idle mode terminal in a Machine to Machine (M2M) communication system. A paging message is received from the base station during a paging listening interval. The Apparatus determines whether an indicator indicating receipt of multicast group data is included in the paging message. When the indicator indicating the receiving of multicast group data is included, data transmitted via a downlink resource that uses an identifier mask of a multicast group to which a terminal belongs is received. Thereafter, a paging non-listening interval is entered.
Abstract:
Beam selection is provided. A method for handover in a mobile station includes sending a scan request message for scanning a downlink (DL) beam with respect to a serving base station (BS) and a neighboring BS, to the serving BS, and receiving a scan response message; determining the DL beam for the MS by performing scanning with the serving BS and the neighboring BS based on the scan response message; sending a scan report message comprising a result of the scanning to the serving BS; when receiving an air-HO request message from the serving BS, generating an air-HO response message comprising information of a neighboring BS to which the MS hands over based on the air-HO request message; performing beam selection with the neighboring BS of the handover based on the air-HO request message; and performing the handover.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a plurality of eNodeBs (eNBs) configured to serve one or more user equipments (UEs). The plurality of eNBs includes a first eNB and a second eNB. The first eNB is configured to wirelessly communicate on a resource with the second eNB. The resource includes a time resource and/or a frequency resource. The first and second eNBs are configured to cooperatively serve the one or more UEs. The first and second eNBs are configured to engage in wireless communication following a predetermined schedule known to the plurality of eNBs.
Abstract:
A method includes configuring a first sounding channel to be an uplink sounding slot. The uplink sounding slot has at least one OFDM symbol in an uplink sub-frame in order to carry UL-SRSs corresponding to at least one transmit beam of a first set of transmit beams in a first sounding channel set of sub-bands. The first sounding channel set of sub-bands includes sub-bands that cover a first data bandwidth. The method includes transmitting, to an MS, a first UL sounding configuration message that sets a sounding sub-band bitmap value to a maximum specifiable value and indicates UL-SRS placement in the first sounding channel set of sub-bands. The method includes, receiving through the first sounding channel set of sub-bands from the MS, the UL-SRSs corresponding to at least the one transmit beam of the first set of transmit beams for channel estimation over the first data bandwidth.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) performs a method for supporting discontinuous receive (DRX) in a wireless network. The method includes waking up at a wake up time associated with a beginning of a DRX cycle, the DRX cycle comprising a plurality of subframes. The method also includes determining whether to perform receive beam training before a beginning of a time period for downlink communication. The method further includes receiving data during the time period for downlink communication.
