Abstract: A method of supporting group communication over LTE MBMS is provided. A UE first establishes a unicast bearer in a network for group communication. The UE belongs to a communication group having a communication group ID. The UE receives access information from the network for monitoring downlink (DL) multicast traffic of the DL group communication based on a multicast decision. The UE is then ready for monitoring a multicast Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) bearer for receiving the DL multicast traffic. In one embodiment, The UE requests to switch the DL multicast traffic from the multicast MBMS bearer to the unicast bearer upon detecting that the UE is approaching an MBMS coverage boundary. In another embodiment, the UE transmits an indication of preferred target cells to the network before performing a handover and thereby maintaining multicast service continuity of the group communication.

Abstract: A method of inter-cell interference coordination is provided for UE measurements and network access procedure. In a first embodiment, a UE in idle mode performs measurements on received radio signals applying a simplified radio resource restriction for interference coordination. The UE determines the restricted radio resource without receiving explicit measurement configuration. In a second embodiment, during various phases of a network access procedure, the UE indicates its interference status and/or additional interference information to its serving base station to enhance interference coordination. In a third embodiment, the UE in connected mode performs measurements on both interference-protected transmission resources and non-interference-protected transmission resources. The UE measurement results are used for scheduling, radio link monitoring, and/or mobility management to increase radio spectrum efficiency and to improve user experience.

Abstract: A method of supporting uplink aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission in licensed assisted access (LAA) wireless communication networks is provided. In one novel aspect, a base station can configure each UE with a group ID by RRC signaling, and then use DCI to signal the group to transmit SRS in the corresponding SC-FDMA symbol. A new cell specific RNTI is introduced for the group DCI. In a first embodiment, the DCI comprises a list of group IDs, each indicating a group ID for SRS transmission in the corresponding SC-FDMA symbol in the UpPTS. In a second embodiment, the DCI comprises a number of SC-FDMA symbols in the UpPTS and an offset value of the group ID for SRS transmission. The proposed method can trigger different groups of UEs in multiple SC-FDMA symbols in a flexible way.

Abstract: A flexible and efficient physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling scheme that schedules physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission over multiple subframes with Hybrid Automatic Retransmission (HARQ) support is proposed. The PDCCH has a downlink control information (DCI) format that schedules PUSCH transmission over multiple subframes. The PUSCH transmission is associated with multiple HARQ processes with non-consecutive HARQ process IDs. Furthermore, the DCI format uses joint signaling to combine HARQ process indexes, new data indication (NDI), and redundancy version (RV) to reduce signaling overhead.

Abstract: An enhanced connection recovery upon lost RRC connection due to radio link failure (RLF) or handover failure (HOF) is proposed. A UE first establishes an RRC connection in a source cell in a mobile communication network. Later on, the UE detects a failure event and starts an RRC reestablishment procedure in a target cell to restore the RRC connection. In a first novel aspect, a fast NAS recovery process is applied to reduce the outage time in the target cell. In a second novel aspect, context fetching is used to reduce the outage time in the target cell. In a third novel aspect, a loss-less reestablishment procedure is proposed to reduce data loss during the connection recovery.

Abstract: A method of throughput and data volume measurement for minimization of drive test (MDT) is proposed. A base station establishes a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication network. The base station or UE measures transmitted or received data volume during a transmission time of a data burst between the base station and the UE. When the data burst spans multiple measurement periods and the data burst is split at each measurement period boundary. For each measurement period, data volume during the measurement period is measured to generate a measurement result. When throughput measurement is performed by the network, the base station receives location information that is available during the transmission time of the data burst. The data volume measurement is logged with time stamp such that each measurement result can correlated with the location information.
