Abstract:
A method including receiving signals at a first frequency and at a second frequency; and switching between the first frequency and the second frequency during one of a plurality of subframes within a radio frame for transmission subsequent to said receiving.
Abstract:
A method may include receiving access network selection information from a user equipment and providing network selection information in dependence on said requested access network selection function information.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising receiving a reference signal from an access point of a cell, wherein the transmission of the reference signal is indicative of the availability of the physical random access channel resources, determining timing of physical random access channel resources in dependence on the timing of the reference signal and causing transmission of a physical random access signal using the physical random access channel resources.
Abstract:
A method includes determining a first transmission power for a first transmission from a user equipment and a second transmission power for a second transmission from the user equipment, the first and second transmission at least partially overlapping, the first and second transmission power being selected in dependence on at least one of which one or more channels are being transmitted and information on the at least one or more channels.
Abstract:
A method including determining whether an apparatus is to operate in a first, second or third mode of operation; wherein said first mode of operation includes a first level of activity, said second mode of operation includes a second level of activity that is lower than said first level of activity, and said third mode of operation includes a third level of activity that is lower than said second level of activity; applying a first reference signal transmission regime when in said second mode of operation; and applying a second reference signal transmission regime when in said third mode of operation.
Abstract:
An apparatus at least one processor, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least: to create at least one pool of communication resources for a fast handover procedure, wherein at least one set of communication resources is allocated to a pool of communication resources, and to cause a transmission of information indicating the content of the at least one pool of communication resources to a neighboring cell for allocating the pool of communication resources to the neighboring cell.
Abstract:
A method of scheduling resources in a communications link wherein a scheduling request is transmitted from a first entity to a second entity including determining if any of the following conditions exist: the time elapsed since the last scheduling request exceeds a designated time; the up-link requirement exceeds a predetermined level; or semi-persistent scheduling exists; and if so, suppressing the transmission and/or triggering of scheduling requests.
Abstract:
A method including receiving information indicative of a discovery signal timing measurement configuration including a first measurement phase associated with a first periodicity and at least one second measurement phase associated with a second periodicity, and using the discovery signal measurement configuration for measurement reporting.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for use in a LTE unlicensed spectrum standalone deployment (e. g., MulteFire Alliance) may include determining, by a user equipment, that a radio channel is unoccupied by other user equipment. Determining that the radio channel is unoccupied includes determining a lack of downlink transmission on the radio channel. The method may also include determining resources for performing uplink transmissions. The resources are determined autonomously by the user equipment. The method may also include performing an uplink transmission using the determined resources.
Abstract:
A technique for differentiating licensed-assisted-access (LAA) cells (on which a UE may not be allowed to camp) from non-LAA cells (on which a UE may camp) including making at least one type of idle-mode cell selection measurement for at least one carrier in time resources determinable from broadcast system information; and refraining from making said at least one type of idle-mode cell selection measurement for said at least one carrier outside of said time resources; in alternative, the technique including creating a specific type of DRS for non-LAA cells which may be recognized by the UE (e. g., the DRS including an additional PSS sequence or being scrambled with a network-specific signature).
