Abstract:
A delta configuration is transmitted to a UE requesting a handover wherein the delta configuration details changes that are required for the current UE configuration in order to execute the handover. The handover is initiated via a measurement report transmitted to a currently serving source eNode B from the UE. The measurement report can comprise one or more of current radio conditions, current UE configuration or a preferred target eNode B if the handover is a inter eNode B handover. In a inter eNB handover, the current UE configuration is forwarded to the preferred target eNode B by the source eNode B. The target eNode B generates the delta configuration and transmits it to the source eNode B in a transparent container which is subsequently forwarded to the UE.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for partitioning resources for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) are provided. Certain aspects involve broadcasting a message indicating time-domain resource partitioning information (RPI), where a user equipment (UE) may be operating in idle mode. With the RPI, the UE may be able to identify protected resources with reduced/eliminated interference from neighboring cells. The RPI in this broadcasted message may be encoded as a bitmap as an alternative or in addition to enumeration of the U/N/X subframes. Other aspects entail transmitting a dedicated or unicast message indicating the time-domain RPI, where a UE may be operating in connected mode. With the RPI, the UE may be able to determine channel state information (CSI), make radio resource management (RRM) measurements, or perform radio link monitoring (RLM), based on one or more signals from a serving base station during the protected time-domain resources.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to allocating user equipment (UE) processing capability among multiple access nodes. In an aspect, processing capability of a UE may be determined. When the UE is in communication with at least a first access node and a second access node, a first allocation of the UE processing capability for the first access node or a second allocation of the UE processing capability for the second access node may be determined. Resources may be assigned for the UE based at least in part on the first allocation or the second allocation. In an aspect, the first access node and the second access node may negotiate to determine the first allocation or the second allocation. In an aspect, the first allocation or the second allocation may be determined based on a previously-configured rule associated with a category of the UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate network management and optimization. As described herein, a network and a device communicating with the network can exchange network management information, thereby supporting a Self Organized Network (SON) architecture for improved network management and optimization performance. A Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer protocol and/or an Internet Protocol (IP) application, in combination with a set of associated network management messages, can be utilized to exchange network management information between a device and a network. As further described herein, various procedures can be utilized to install a SON policy to a device in order to define device behavior for operations such as collecting and reporting information related to network management. Additionally, a set of standardized events can be defined, based on which a device can detect the occurrence of an event and report the occurrence to an associated network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus described herein include features that enable dual radio access. In one embodiment, the access point directs an access terminal through sequential measurements, which are selected by the access point based on the radio access capability of the access terminal, service preferences of the user and measurement reports. In a complementary method, an access terminal obtains the sequential measurements chosen by the access point. In another embodiment, the access point directs an access terminal through a set of measurements, which are selected by the access point based on the radio access capability of the access terminal and service preferences of the user. In another embodiment, an access terminal selects which subset of measurements to obtain based on the radio access capability of the access terminal and optionally service preferences of the user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for managing wireless communications are described. In one embodiment, information relating to a scheduling request performance of a first set of one or more user equipments (UEs) may be compiled, and at least a subset of the information may be transmitted to trigger an identification of an adjustment of an uplink power control setting of a second set of one or more UEs. In another embodiment, information to trigger an identification of an adjustment of an uplink power control setting for transmitting scheduling requests may be received from each of a first plurality of UEs. The information may be analyzed, and a power adjustment may be identified for the uplink power control setting for at least one of a second plurality of UEs. The identified power adjustment may then be transmitted to the at least one of the second plurality of UEs.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improved resource management in LTE. Methods and apparatus are provided for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), signaling providing an indication of a set of one or more subframes in which a set of resources are non-usable for one or more functions performed by the UE, or determining of the set by the UE, and excluding the non-usable resources when performing the one or more functions. Methods and apparatus are provided for identifying, by a base station (BS), a set of one or more subframes in which a set of resources might not be suitable for one or more functions performed by a user equipment (UE) and transmitting signaling, to the UE, providing an indication the set of resources are non-usable in the one or more subframes for the one or more functions performed by the UE.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described herein for synchronizing timing when using a secondary component carrier (SCC) in a carrier aggregated wireless network. A user equipment (UE) may determine that it is out of synchronization with respect to an SCC used to communicate with a network element. The UE may inform the network element of the out of synchronization status, and may perform a random access procedure to synchronize the timing.
