    Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a coverage area configuration transition includes expanding the coverage of a compensation service area, utilizing one or more carriers that are not being utilized by an energy saving service area. Once all of the user equipment devices (UE devices) being served by the energy saving service area are handed over, the energy saving service area may be deactivated. In some case, the UE devices are handed over in stages, which incrementally reduces the energy consumed by the energy saving service area.

    Abstract: Small cell discovery signals are transmitted within a subframe allocated for transmission of Device-to-Device (D2D) discovery signals. In accordance with a communication standard, communication resources are organized into frames having subframes for communication within a cellular communication system. Wireless service is provided to mobile UE devices in different sized cells that may overlap. In addition, at least some mobile UE devices can communicate with each other using D2D communication resources. D2D discovery signals are transmitted by mobile UE devices to facilitate the discovery of the mobile UE devices by other mobile UE devices. The communication standard allocates one or more subframes within a frame of a frequency defined communication resource for transmission of the D2D discovery signals. The small cell discovery signals are also transmitted within the subframe to facilitate recognition that a small cell mobile UE device is within the small cell service area.

    Abstract: A proxy multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe conforming to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication specification is transmitted within an MBSFN proxy region that at least partially overlaps with a non-LTE service area of a non-LTE access node providing wireless service to user equipment (UE) devices in the non-LTE service area. The non-LTE access node provides wireless service in accordance with a non-LTE communication specification that is different from the LTE communication specification. The MBSFN proxy region is smaller than, and is within an LTE service area of an LTE access node that provides wireless service to UE devices within the LTE service area in accordance with the LTE communication specification. The proxy MBSFN subframe is transmitted with a timing and frequency such that a UE device receiving service from the LTE access node is capable of receiving the MBSFN subframe.

    Abstract: The examples described herein provide for a Secondary Base Station (SeNB) Change procedure in a system configured to provide Dual Connectivity, where the SeNB Change procedure does not include the RACH procedure. As part of the SeNB Change procedure, a UE device generates a request that the Target Secondary base station (Target SeNB) is to send a Media Access Control (MAC) message to the UE device. In some examples, the request can be configured to specify a particular MAC Control Element that the Target SeNB should send in response to receiving the request. Upon receipt of the request, the Target SeNB transmits the requested MAC message to the UE device, along with TA information, if required. The UE device determines when the SeNB Change procedure has been completed, based at least partially on when the requested MAC message is received from the Target SeNB.

    Abstract: In order to perform a RACH-less handover from a source base station to a target base station, a UE device generates a request that the target base station is to send a Media Access Control (MAC) message to the UE device. The request can be sent with a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Reconfiguration Complete message. Alternatively, an RRC message sent from a UE device functions as an implicit request that the target base station is to send a MAC message to the UE device. The request can also be configured to specify a particular MAC Control Element that the target base station should send. The target base station transmits the requested MAC message, along with TA information, if required. The UE device determines when the handover has been completed, based at least partially on when the requested MAC message is received from the target base station.

    Abstract: User equipment (UE) devices are identified at a network node by a UE identifier from a UE identifier list and list identification information. A plurality of identical user equipment (UE) identifier lists are maintained at the network node where each UE identifier list is associated with a set of functions. Where a message transmitted from a first network node to a second network node is uniquely associated with a set of functions associated with a UE identifier list, the list identification information is the type of message. Where a message transmitted from a first network node to a second network node is not uniquely associated with a set of functions that pertains to a UE identifier list, the list identification information is a parameter in the message where the parameter is indicative of a UE identifier list.

    Abstract: A cellular communication system and method for delivering information, e.g., data and/or control-signaling, to a user equipment (UE) from a neighboring node are disclosed. The cellular communication system includes a first node configured to transmit information in one or more Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes over a radio frequency (RF) link between the first node and the UE, while the UE is being served by a second node. The first node can use a network-defined, dedicated portion of the MBSFN subframe for this purpose. Instead of only allowing the second node to send data/signaling messages to the UE, the disclosed techniques allow neighboring nodes to also deliver information to the UE. In particular, the neighboring nodes can transmit data and/or control-signaling to the UE using MBSFN subframes in order to minimize signaling overhead and signaling delay.
