Abstract:
Simplified communication between user equipment and a neighboring cell not the primary cell is achieved by restricting the transmission parameters, such as bandwidth, of the neighboring cell transmission and provision of a simplified secondary baseband processor in the user equipment.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for application profiles and device classes in power line communications (PLCs) are described. In some embodiments, a PLC device has the device class defined by a PHY layer and may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may be configured to store program instructions, which may be executable by the processor to cause the PLC device to communicate with a higher-level PLC apparatus over a power line using a frequency band. The frequency band may be selected based upon an application profile and/or a device class associated with the PLC device. In some implementations, the higher-level PLC apparatus may include a PLC gateway or a data concentrator, and the PLC device may include a PLC modem or the like. Examples of application profiles include access communications, in-premises connectivity, AC charging, and/or DC charging. Device classes may represent a minimum communication data rate and/or an operating frequency band restriction of the PLC device.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a transmitter includes a binary sequence generator unit configured to provide a sequence of reference signal bits, wherein the sequence is an inseparable function of a cell identification parameter, a cyclic prefix mode corresponding to the transmitter and one or more time indices of the sequence. The transmitter also include a mapping unit that transforms the sequence of reference signal bits into a complex reference signal, and a transmit unit configured to transmit the complex reference signal. In another embodiment, a receiver includes a receive unit configured to receive a complex reference signal and a reference signal decoder unit configured to detect a sequence of reference signal bits from the complex reference signal, wherein the sequence is an inseparable function of a cell identification parameter, a cyclic prefix mode corresponding to a transmitter and one or more time indices of the sequence.
