A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generating Reference Signals utilized in downlink tracking of an unlicensed band. A method and apparatus may determine whether carriers of an unlicensed band secondary component carrier are available for usage to provide a signal(s), enabling timing and frequency tracking of downlink carriers responsive to discontinuous transmission via a medium(s) of the unlicensed band utilized to provide content to devices. The method and apparatus may also select the signal based on a band of the carriers and a detection indicating whether communication terminals of a coexisting system are using a carrier of the band. The method and apparatus may provide the signal to a device(s) via a carrier responsive to determining that the carrier is available or via an occupied carrier utilized by the coexisting system enabling the device to continue tracking of timing and frequency information of the downlink carriers.

Disclosed are apparatuses, methods and computer program instructions which receive or detect an in-device coexistence interference condition change in a user equipment equipped with a plurality of transceivers, send an indication of the in-device coexistence interference condition change to an access point and receive a media access control element configured for muting/unmuting at least one of a plurality of transceivers from the access point. The condition of in-device coexistence interference relates to interference among transceivers such as a long term evolution advanced transceiver and a Bluetooth transceiver in the same user equipment. The media access control element can be configured to either promote a measurement gap pause or short discontinuous transmission during a condition of in-device coexistence interference.

In one embodiment information is received from one or more wireless networks indicating a request for a listen before transmit mode or a non-listen before transmit mode. In reply it is determined whether the one or more wireless networks is to utilize the listen before transmit mode or the non-listen in an unlicensed frequency band and the one or more wireless networks are informed of the determined mode. Centralized control of spectrum for coexistence of wireless communication systems in unlicensed bands according to exemplary embodiments of the invention can be performed by an enhanced coexistence manager or a network access node with information obtained from one or more base stations or user equipment.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to reduce coexistence interference that may occur following a S1 handover. The method, apparatus and computer program product may provide the target access point with information regarding one or more frequencies to be avoided so as to reduce instances of coexistence interference that might otherwise occur following a SI handover.
摘要:
A method for synchronizing channels on unlicensed bands is described. The method includes determining whether a SCC channel has started to be used by a first network. The SCC channel is a CA channel shared with at least one other network. In response to determining that the SCC channel has been started to be used by the first network, the UE determines an off duration describing a period since a previous SCC channel ON period. A given channel ON period is a continuous period of use of the given channel by the first network, The method also includes, in response to determining that the off duration is less than a minimum threshold duration, performing fine synchronization based on CRS tracking on the SCC channel using course synchronization parameters of the previous SCC channel ON period. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
