    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and to wireless devices for device-to-device communication. One of the methods includes configuring direct control messages and reference signals, based on capability and state of the wireless device with regards to device to device communication. The method further includes associating, in the wireless device, at least one direct control message to a synchronization reference signal, configuring the at least one direct control message and/or the synchronization reference signal, such that a recipient can identify the association between the at least one direct control message and the synchronization reference signal, using the configuration of the direct control message and/or the synchronization reference signal. The at least one direct control message is then transmitted.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting multipath propagation in RF signals exchanged between a mobile entity (10) and different cells (31, 32) of a cellular network. The method comprises the steps of obtaining cell location information for a plurality of cells; obtaining a measurement report reported by the mobile entity (10) to the cellular network for a first cell (31) and a second cell (32) of the plurality of cells, the measurement report comprising a parameter related to a first time delay occurring for the RF signal travelling between the first cell (31) and the mobile entity (10), and a parameter related to a second time delay occurring for the RF signal travelling between the second cell (32) and the mobile entity (10). A time delay difference is calculated between the first time delay and the second time delay, and a distance difference is deduced from the time delay difference taking into account the speed of the RF signals travelling between the first cell (31) and the mobile entity (10) and between the second cell (32) and the mobile entity (10). An inter-cell distance between the first cell (31) and the second cell (32) is calculated based on the cell location information for the first cell and the second cell. The inter-cell distance is compared to the distance difference, wherein the multipath propagation is detected based on the result of the comparison.

    摘要: According to several disclosed techniques, a wireless network provides assistance information to a mobile terminal for cell selection at re-establishment of a connection after a radio link failure. An example method is implemented in a mobile terminal served in a first cell of a wireless network, and includes receiving (510) a configuration message from the network, the configuration message identifying at least one carrier frequency. Upon subsequently losing connection with the first cell without receiving a handover command, the mobile terminal initiates (520) a cell search using the identified at least one carrier frequency, based on the configuration message.
