    Abstract: A method for allocating resources for device-to-device transmission between two or more user equipment (UEs) includes transmitting, from a first UE to a second UE, a resource allocation configuration for device-to-device communications. A resource request for a device-to-device transmission is received from the second UE. In response to the resource request, a resource for the device-to-device transmission is selected at the first UE. A resource grant is transmitted to the second UE. The resource grant identifies the selected resource. A device-to-device transmission is received from the second UE over the selected resource.

    Abstract: A device, serving cell and method of switching between modes of operation for the device in a cellular network comprises receiving a service via a connection with the serving cell. A condition indicative of deterioration in network service and an absence of a suitable neighbor cell are detected. In response, discovery of relay nodes is initiated. When a suitable relay node is discovered, a mechanism to switch to receiving the service via the suitable relay node is initiated. The service may be a mission critical push-to-talk over Long Term Evolution service. The relay node may be user equipment acting as a user equipment-to-network relay node. When the device is in an RCC_CONNECTED state, the mechanism to switch includes sending a relay mode preference indication to the serving cell, receiving a connection release message from the serving cell, releasing the serving cell connection, and establishing a sidelink connection with the relay.

    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a processor configured to compare a current transport status of the asset to a predicted transport status of the asset at each respective time instance of a plurality of time instances, and in response to determining that the current transport status does not differ from the predicted transport status by greater than a specified threshold, skip sending a report relating to the current transport status to a service over a network at the respective time instance of the plurality of time instances.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a Medium Access Control (MAC) method for LTE in Unlicensed (LTE-U) includes transmitting at least one of a Clear to Send (CTS) message or a Request to Send (RTS) message on an LTE-U Secondary Cell (SCell) carrier. The at least one of the CTS message or the RTS message may include a duration field. The duration field may indicate a transmission time of a transmission on a packet data shared channel on the LTE-U SCell carrier. An evolved NodeB (eNB) transmits a scheduling grant for the transmission on the packet data shared channel on the LTE-U SCell carrier.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a power saving method includes receiving, from a base station, at a user equipment (UE), a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration. The UE determines a WLAN listen interval that includes at least one Traffic Indication Map (TIM) period and at least one TIM transmission period. The UE selects, based on the DRX configuration, a TIM message to monitor within an associated TIM transmission period from the at least one TIM transmission period in the listen interval. The UE determines a WLAN wakeup time that overlaps the associated TIM transmission period. During the associated TIM transmission periods, the UE receives, from an Access Point (AP), the selected TIM message.
