Abstract:
A method comprising: measuring separately co-channel interference and cross-channel interference at an apparatus; and providing, to a node, separate information regarding the co-channel interference and the cross-channel interference.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving at least one reference signal from a first cell in a less active state and at least one reference signal from a second cell in a less active state within a same or different sub frames of a set of sub frames, wherein said at least one reference signal from the first base station is associated with different resource elements of said set of sub frames to those associated with the at least one reference signal from the second cell.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods in a communication system are provided. A method comprises: maintaining in a terminal more than one subscription identities and controlling by the user terminal transmission of a message comprising information that the terminal maintains more than one subscription identities.
Abstract:
There is provided a method including determining a first control channel including a first plurality of resources in dependence on a first parameter and the downlink bandwidth; determining a second plurality of resources available on at least a second control channel; and combining the first and second plurality of resources to define an effective control channel for use in signalling acknowledgement data to at least one user apparatus.
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 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:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for controlling communications devices. An access node can generate a message for at least one communication device for transmission at a resource determined at least partly on the basis of a first identifier value assigned to said at least one communication device. The generation comprises including in the message at least one other identifier value, wherein the other identifier values are assigned to communication devices for a purpose of addressing messages to communication devices. The at least one other identifier value is used exclusively for said at least one communication device at said resource and is recognisable to said at least one communication device as instruction to take one or more actions associated with the at least one other identifier value. A communication device can check for a message at the resource, the checking comprising checking in the message for the one or more other identifier values. In response to detecting one or more of said one or more other identifier values, said communication device can take one or more actions associated with said detected one or more of said one or more other identifier values.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for defining a Time Advance (TA) value are provided. One method includes defining, by a network node, a timing advance value that is signaled to at least one user equipment. The timing advance value signaled to the user equipment exceeds a value that represents a physical distance between an antenna of a cell and the at least one user equipment.
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.
