    Abstract: Notifying served user equipments (UEs) of the presence or absence of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) symbols transmitted by neighboring base stations in the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) region of a subframe can be achieved through various of signaling techniques. The served UE may be notified by communicating a one or multi-bit indicator in a physical layer signaling channel of the serving cell, such as the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the subframe. Alternatively, the served UE may be notified through higher layer signaling.

    Abstract: A method for device-to-device (D2D) communication includes sensing D2D resources from a pool of resources for a predetermined duration to produce measurements of the D2D resources and determining statistics in accordance with the measurements of the D2D resources. The method also includes determining a first subset of the D2D resources in accordance with the statistics and transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE) to a second UE, data over the first subset of the D2D resources.

    Abstract: Encoded control information can be mapped to an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) search space of a user equipment (UE) in accordance with an offset and aggregation level. The ePDCCH search space may include a physical resource block (PRB) set located in a data region of a downlink subframe. The encoded control information may be mapped into one or more enhanced control channel elements (eCCEs) of the ePDCCH search space beginning from a starting location. The starting location is an eCCE location within the PRB set. The PRB set, as well as the starting/eCCE location within the PRB set, are identified in accordance with an offset associated with the UE. A number of eCCEs carrying encoded information corresponds to an aggregation level.

    Abstract: Embodiments are provided herein for determining a synchronizing master for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a cellular network environment. In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives a discovery signal comprising a timing reference, and determines a transmitter of the discovery signal. In accordance with the determination of the transmitter of the discovery signal, the UE performs one of synchronizing to the timing reference in the discovery signal and transmitting a second discovery signal. The UE performs the synchronizing to the timing reference if the transmitter of the discovery is a cellular network. Alternatively, the UE transmits the second discovery signal upon determining that the transmitter of the discovery signal is a second UE that is out of coverage of a cellular network.

    Abstract: A method and system for including a base station that configures a first user equipment (UE) that is in a radio resource control connected state with the base station. The UE is configured to be a synchronization source and transmit a first device-to-device synchronization signal (D2DSS) by using a synchronization resource that comprises a time resource, a frequency resource or a time and frequency resource. The base station instructs the first UE to transmit the first D2DSS using the synchronization resource. The base station signals the UE to configure the UE separately from the signal to transmit the D2DSS, and both of the signals are performed with radio resource control signaling from the base station to the UE.

    Abstract: User Equipments (UEs) may be assigned a set of aggregated component carriers for downlink carrier aggregation and/or carrier selection. Some UEs may be incapable of transmitting uplink signals over all component carriers in their assigned set of aggregated component carriers. In such scenarios, a UE may need to perform SRS switching in order to transmit SRS symbols over all of the component carriers. Embodiments of this disclosure provide various techniques for facilitating SRS switching. For example, a radio resource control (RRC) message may be used to signal a periodic SRS configuration parameter. As another example, a downlink control indication (DCI) message may be used to signal an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter. Many other examples are also provided.
