Abstract: A method includes receiving initial acknowledgement resource information at a user device from a base station. The initial acknowledgement resource information is associated with a subset of acknowledgement resources. The method includes determining in dependence on the initial acknowledgement resource information which of the subset of acknowledgement resources is to be used. The user device transmits an acknowledgement on the determined resource.

Abstract: An example implementation includes determining, by a user device, that the user device is a low-latency mode user device; receiving a downlink data block in downlink subframe n; determining a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the data block; determining, by the low-latency mode user device, an uplink subframe n+k at a HARQ feedback offset of k subframes from subframe n, and one or more uplink HARQ resources for the uplink subframe n+k reserved for the HARQ feedback from the low-latency mode user device; and transmitting, by the low-latency mode user device, the HARQ feedback via subframe n+k and the one or more uplink HARQ resources.

Abstract: When triggering a user equipment (UE) to send a reference signal (SRS) the network configures the UE with multiple parameter sets, each having a timing indication. The UE's resource allocation grants multiple uplink (UL) subframes and identifies/selects one of those parameter sets. The timing indication of the selected set identifies one of the granted UL subframes, in one embodiment by counting only among the allocated/granted shortened UL subframes. This triggers the UE to send SRS in that identified shortened UL subframe. In one embodiment if no UL subframes in the grant are shortened this triggers the UE to send SRS in a subframe previous to an the allocated/granted multiple UL subframes. The same mechanism can be used to trigger feedback reports such as aperiodic channel state information or block ACK/NACK reports, where the different UL signaling being triggered is requested in the network's resource allocation to the UE.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for providing layered mobility are provided. Small cell eNBs belong to a cluster of local area base stations. A source eNB has a connection with user equipment having a first identity related to the connection and receives from the user equipment a request to send a scheduling request to another local area eNB of the cluster, the request including a list of target candidate eNBs. The source eNB determines suitable target eNB(s) from the list and resources for sending a scheduling request; and transmits The target eNB receives a scheduling request from user equipment allocates and sends communication resources to the user equipment and associates the first identity to the connection with the user equipment.

Abstract: Communication systems, for example, wireless communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE) release 11 (Rel-11) may use methods for multiplexing of periodic channel state information reports. Such methods may support the support heavy reliance on channel state information signaling in uplink to provide improved downlink performance. A method can include multiplexing a plurality of channel state information reports into a same subframe. The plurality of channel state information reports can correspond to a user equipment. The method can further include prioritizing a set of channel state information reports including the plurality of channel state information reports.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for supporting communication of critical data in a cellular system are disclosed. Upon determination of communication of critical data in a first cell a node of the first cell generates a signal including information of reservation of radio resources for said communication of critical data. The signal is communicated from the first cell to at least one second cell to reduce interference on said radio resources. A node of a second cell receives the signal and manages interference on said radio resources based on the signal. This includes prevention or limitation of use of said radio resources in the second cell when the second cell is not involved in communication of critical data.
