A method of MDT information logging and problem event reporting is provided. The method supports provisioning of reference events to enable correlation of system time and the problem occurrence. In one embodiment, a problem event report includes time information directly or indirectly related to a reference event. A method of handling battery condition is also provided. The method supports autonomously suspending or resuming OAM activities in MDT based on predefined battery condition. In one embodiment, a testable battery condition handling is designed for MDT logging.

A method of implicit signaling to support In-Device coexistence interference avoidance is provided. A UE sends an IDC interference indication to an eNB. The indication indicates that a serving frequency becomes unusable due to a coexistence interference problem. The indication does not explicitly indicate a frequency index or a frequency location of the unusable serving frequency. The eNB determines the serving frequency as unusable in an implicit manner. The eNB also determines an implied unusable frequency region based on the received IDC indication. The implied unusable frequency region is between the serving frequency and the ISM band. In one advantageous aspect, the eNB configures a condition for the UE, such that the UE is refrained from sending IDC interference indications unless the condition is satisfied.

A method of dynamic resource transaction in wireless OFDMA systems is proposed. In macro-femto overlay network architecture, network and traffic condition varies dynamically. Dynamic resource transaction is a powerful mechanism to achieve effective interference mitigation and flexible radio resource management to enhance resource utilization as well as to improve link performance. Dynamic resource transaction can be performed by signaling or message exchange through backhaul network or air-interface connections. The signal or message through backhaul network can be directly exchanged among multiple base stations or be routed through a centralized self-organizing network (SON) server. In one embodiment, dynamic resource transaction is used to achieve adaptive reservation region configuration, a solution to avoid interference and frequent handover for high-speed mobile stations.

A fast feedback mechanism is provided in a contention-based data transmission procedure. A Subscriber Station (SS) transmits a data burst to a base station (BS) using a selected data grant in a previous uplink (UL) frame. The SS also starts a timer associated with the data transmission. The data grant is selected from a plurality of data grants granted by the BS for contention-based access. In response to all received data grants in the previous UL frame, the BS broadcasts an acknowledgement (ACK) in a subsequent downlink (DL) frame. The ACK comprises a reception status message that indicates the detection result of the data grants. With the novel fast feedback mechanism, when data collision occurs, upon receiving the detection result indicator, the SS proceeds by retransmitting data without continuing wait for the entire timeout period. As a result, the total latency due to the data collision is reduced.

A Femto Base Station (FBS) includes a communication functionality and a reliability functionality. A control entity within the reliability functionality detects an FBS reliability compromising event (for example, an unscheduled loss of external power to the FBS). As a result of detecting the FBS reliability compromising event, the control entity sends a message (an “FBS Reliability Compromising Event Compensation Message” or “FBSRCECM”) to the communication functionality. The FBSRCECM initiates an action that compensates for the FBS reliability compromising event. In many examples, the action is the initiating of a handover from the FBS to another base station. The reliability functionality typically includes a rechargeable battery that powers the FBS for a time until the handover is completed gracefully. By performing a graceful handover, cellular network reliability is improved as compared to situations in which a conventional FBS simply stops working and connections handled by the conventional FBS are broken.

A fast feedback mechanism is provided in a contention-based ranging procedure. A Subscriber Station (SS) initializes a ranging procedure by sending a ranging code on a selected ranging opportunity for resource access to a Base Station (BS) on a shared ranging channel in a previous uplink frame. The SS also starts a time associated with the ranging code. In response to all received ranging opportunities, the BS broadcasts an acknowledgement (ACK) in a subsequent downlink frame. The ACK comprises a reception status message that indicates the decoding status of the ranging opportunities. With the novel fast feedback mechanism, when ranging collision or failure occurs, upon receiving the reception status report, the SS will proceed with the next round of contention without continuing wait for the entire timeout period. As a result, the total latency due to the ranging collision or failure is reduced.

A method of measurement gap reporting and configuration is provided. In a mobile network, a UE receives a capability enquiry message from a serving base station. The UE comprises one or more radio frequency modules that support a list of frequency bands and a list of carrier aggregation (CA) band combinations. In response to the enquiry, the UE transmits capability information containing measurement parameters to the base station. In one embodiment, the measurement parameters comprise need-for-gap parameters for each frequency band and each CA band combinations associated with a list of to-be-measured frequency bands of target cells. Based on the reported measurement parameters, the eNB transmits a measurement configuration message to the UE. Finally, the UE transmits a measurement gap application message back to the base station. The measurement gap application message indicates whether the UE applies MG for each configured component carrier.

A comprehensive solution is provided for multi-carrier scanning and handover operations in OFDM wireless systems. A multi-carrier scanning is any scanning operation that involves multi-carrier radio frequency carriers. In one embodiment, a mobile station communicates with a serving base station over a primary carrier, and performs scanning over one or more determined carriers. A multi-carrier handover is any handover operation that involves multiple radio frequency carriers. In a first embodiment, a break-before-entry (BBE) handover procedure with fast synchronization is provided. In a second embodiment, an entry-before-break (EBB) handover procedure through unavailable intervals is provided. In a third embodiment, EBB handover procedures for both inter-FA and intra-FA using multiple carriers are provided. Finally, in a fourth embodiment, intra-BS handover procedures are provided. The multi-carrier handover procedures may be applied to 2-to-2 or N-to-N carriers handover situation. The overall scanning time and handover interruption time may be reduced through the provided procedures.

Methods for a mobile station to handover between IEEE 802.16e and 802.16m systems are provided. The mobile station is served by an IEEE 802.16e-only base station or an IEEE 802.16e zone of a 16e/16m-conexistence base station. In a zone-switch based handover procedure, the mobile station first performs an IEEE 802.16e legacy handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to an IEEE 802.16e zone of a target base station. The mobile station then performs a zone-switch procedure such that the mobile station switches from the IEEE 802.16e zone to an IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station. In a direct handover procedure, the mobile station performs an IEEE 802.16m handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to the IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station directly.
