    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for control overhead reduction. The UE configures one or more short transmission time interval regions over a normal TTI region shared by the UE and one or more other, each UE includes a self-contained control information sPDCCH occupying a control information region. The UE detects a cover signal, which indicates one or more resource elements in the sPDCCH control-information region that can be used for data transmission. The UE obtains data transmission from the REs in the SPDCCH control information region based on the detected cover signal. In one embodiment, the cover signal is a dedicated signal. In another embodiment, the cover signal is a common signal. In yet another embodiment, the cover signal is encoded in a downlink control information (DCI) intended for the UE. In one embodiment, the cover signal indicates one or more CCE REs to be excluded for data transmission.

    Abstract: An effective SCELL activation procedure is proposed to reduce the SCELL activation time. For carrier aggregation, a secondary cell (SCELL) needs to be configured and then activated before a UE can perform normal operation. In a first embodiment, the UE performs measurements on a list of candidate SCELLs before SCELL configuration. In a second embodiment, the UE performs measurements on a configured SCELL with high priority after the SCELL is configured. In a third embodiment, the UE performs deactivated-state SCELL measurements with adaptive SCELL measurement interval based on a configured measurement cycle and a state machine. Small SCELL activation time allows energy saving and network scheduling gain.

    Abstract: LWA (LTE/WLAN Aggregation) is a tight integration at radio level which allows for real-time channel and load aware radio resource management across WLAN and LTE to provide significant user perceived throughput (UPT) improvement. When enabling LWA, packets are routed to a base station (eNB) for performing PDCP functionalities as an LTE PDU. Afterwards, the eNB can dispatch the PDU either delivered over LTE link or WLAN link. The UPT improvement depends on how the eNB dispatches the PDU over LTE link or WLAN link. In one novel aspect, the eNB can acquire channel information, load information, and throughput estimation regarding with WLAN link and LTE link. As a result, the eNB can optimize UPT and LWA PDU dispatching algorithm.

    Abstract translation: LWA(LTE / WLAN聚合)是无线电级别的紧密集成,其允许跨WLAN和LTE的实时信道和负载感知无线电资源管理,以提供显着的用户感知吞吐量(UPT)改进。 当启用LWA时,分组被路由到用于执行作为LTE PDU的PDCP功能的基站(eNB)。 之后,eNB可以通过LTE链路或WLAN链路发送PDU。 UPT的改进取决于eNB如何通过LTE链路或WLAN链路分派PDU。 在一个新颖的方面,eNB可以获取关于WLAN链路和LTE链路的信道信息,负载信息和吞吐量估计。 因此,eNB可以优化UPT和LWA PDU调度算法。

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a voice over LTE system to shorten the call set up time. In one novel aspect, the mobile origination (MO) UE starts the UE-initiated dedicated resource allocation before receiving any responses from the remote UE. In another embodiment, the mobile termination (MT) UE starts the UE-initiated dedicated resource allocation upon receiving the INVITE from the remote UE. In one embodiment, the UE adjusts the timeout value based on the PLMN information in its PLMN database. The timeout value can be set to be zero if early reservation is allowed. Upon timer expires, the UE starts UE-initiated dedicated resource allocation. In one novel aspect, the MO UE retrieves the codec information of a remote UE from its peer profile information database and uses a matching codec in its INVITE message. In another embodiment, the MT MO includes the SDP answer in its 180 RINGING message.

    Abstract: A method of supporting group communication over LTE MBMS is provided. A UE first establishes a unicast Evolved Packet Service (EPS) bearer in an LTE network for group communication. The UE belongs to a communication group having a communication group ID. The UE receives access information from the network for monitoring downlink (DL) multicast traffic of the DL group communication based on a multicast decision. The UE is then ready for monitoring a multicast Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) bearer for receiving the DL multicast traffic. The multicast MBMS bearer is associated with a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI), and wherein the TMGI is associated with the communication group ID. In one embodiment, the access information comprises mapping information between the TMGI and the communication group ID.

    Abstract: An adaptive RACH operation is proposed for machine-type communications (MTC) in a 3GPP wireless network. The adaptive RACH operation is based on context information to reduce RACH collision probability, to control network overload, and to enhance system performance. The context information includes device related information and network related information. Device related information includes device type and service or application type. Network related information includes network load information and historical statistics information. Based on the context information, an MTC device adjusts various network access and RACH parameters by applying adaptive RACH operation in different levels. For example, in the application level and the network level, the MTC device adjusts its access probability or RACH backoff time for RACH access. In the radio access network (RAN) level, the MTC device adjusts its access probability or RACH backoff time, or transmits RACH preambles using adjusted RACH radio resources and preambles.
