    Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for reporting buffer status information to a communication network control element when transmission via both a licensed and an unlicensed spectrum is conducted and offloading of traffic is executed. After an offloading value indicating the amount of traffic which can be offloaded from a transmission over a licensed spectrum to a transmission over an unlicensed spectrum is estimated, the UE determines a buffer size of at least one transmission buffer used in a transmission over the licensed spectrum and the unlicensed spectrum. Then, buffer status information is sent to the eNB wherein the estimated offloading value is considered. The eNB can then allocate resources for the transmission over the licensed band while benefits by the offloading to the unlicensed band are considered in the resource allocation.

    Abstract: An apparatus receives from a first device a first broadcast message/beacon which comprises an identifier for an enabling station, then uses the identifier to associate with the enabling station to obtain from it a list of at least one license-exempt channel (e.g., TV whitespaces). In one embodiment the apparatus can then join an ad hoc network (IBSS) with the first device and transmit a second beacon which comprises the identifier for the enabling station. If the apparatus hears multiple beacons advertising different IBSSs, it can select to join the first device's ad hoc network over the other(s) based on a service offered or the first device's network being trusted. Various examples are detailed for where in the beacon frame the identifier (e.g., SSID) might be placed. In one example the apparatus and first device are Mode I devices and the enabling station is a Mode II device under (draft) IEEE802.11af.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to efficiently establish communications regardless of the radio resource control (RRC) state of the device that issues the discovery signal. In regards to a method, a cell identification and/or tracking area code is associated with a discovery signal. Thereafter, the method causes a discovery signal to be transmitted to discover another device with which to establish communications. The method also receives a paging signal in response to the discovery signal and causes communications to be established in response to the paging signal. By associating a cell identification and/or a tracking area code with at least part of the discovery signal, the paging signals may be focused in the cell and/or tracking area in which the device that issued the discovery signal is located, even when the device is in an RRC Idle state.
