Abstract:
A method including receiving at a wireless communication device first and second scheduling information indicative of attributes related to a data transmission. The first scheduling information including information indicative of contents attributes of the data transmission, and the subsequently received second scheduling information being indicative of time attributes of the data transmission.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from signaling that instructs operation of devices. For example, certain wireless communication systems can benefit from signaling of listen-before-talk type for unlicensed spectrum operation. A method can include receiving a mapping between listen before talk type and a set of one or more of downlink ending partial subframe durations. The method can also include receiving indication of at least one downlink ending partial subframe duration of the plurality of downlink ending partial subframe durations. The method can further include determining a listen before talk type based on the received indication and the received mapping. The method can additionally include communicating with at least one access node based on the determined listen before talk type.
Abstract:
In an LTE-A mobile communications system, provision of additional random access resources, called “shadow” PRACH, that are available to User Equipments, UEs, for a contention-free access procedure during handover. eNBs provide information on PRACH resources, broadcasting a first set of resources available for contention-based and contention-free random access and indicating via the X2 interface to neighbouring eNBs such additional PRACH resources, together with corresponding preambles, which are in turn indicated via dedicated signalling to UEs during a handover procedure.
