    Abstract: An infrastructure equipment of a wireless communications network is configured to transmit signals to one or more communications devices via a wireless access interface, and to receive signals from one or more of the communications devices via the wireless access interface. The wireless access interface provides communications resources arranged in time divided units of a carrier frequency bandwidth providing a plurality of blocks of communications resources, each of the time divided units comprising on a downlink of the wireless access interface a control channel for transmitting control channel messages and a shared channel, the control channel message allocating communications resources of the shared channel to the communications devices to receive the signals from the one or more infrastructure equipment. The infrastructure equipment is configured to transmit data, as a plurality of data units, to the one or more communications devices, each data unit being encoded for transmission in accordance with a repeat request-type process, the encoding providing an indication of whether the data has been received correctly by a communications device. Each of the data units is transmitted in one of a repeating number of consecutive time divided units according to a separately controlled repeat request-type process. The transmitter is configured to transmit a control message allocating resources of the shared channel for receiving a data unit of a repeat request-type process which is one or more time divided units after a time divided unit in which the control message is transmitted, and the number of repeat request-type processes in the repeating pattern of time divided units is increased from a first number in the first mode to a second number in the second mode.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides a Scheduling Request transmission method (10) for decoupled downlink-uplink in heterogeneous network, where the heterogeneous network comprises at least two cells in charge of downlink and uplink transmission separately and connected with any backhaul, the method comprising: determining (11) a positive Data Scheduling Request, D-SR, is to be transmitted in a current D-SR's subframe together with HARQ-ACK/NACK on PUCCH using PUCCH format 1a/1b/3; transmitting (12) a HARQ-ACK/NACK in the current D-SR's subframe on PUCCH together with a negative D-SR using PUCCH format 1/1a/1b or format 3 while transmitting a Scheduling Request, SR, in a next SR's subframe subsequent to the current D-SR's subframe. In this method, the Scheduling Request (SR) of the UEs can be correctly detected in the Pico base station to trigger UL transmission in decoupled UL/DL scenario in various case and any kinds of backhaul can be supported.

    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided apparatus, systems and methods for implementing and using optimized control systems for aggregation of multiple broadband connections over radio interfaces. For example, such a system may include: a processor and a memory to perform instructions embodied by the system; a plurality of wireless transceivers; a traffic coordinator to interface to two or more wireless communications nodes together, through the system, in which each of the wireless communications nodes have access to a wide Area Network (WAN) backhaul connection independent of the system; a first wireless communications interface to a first wireless communication node established via a first of the plurality of wireless transceivers, the first wireless communications node having access to a first WAN backhaul connection; a second wireless communications interface to a second wireless communications node established via a second of the plurality of wireless transceivers, the second wireless communications node having access to a second WAN backhaul connection distinct from the first WAN backhaul connection; and a control module to receive information on traffic flows through the system and a radio environment within which the system operates, in which the control module to: issue commands to control the formation and continuation of connections of the first and second wireless communications interfaces to WAN connections and WAN backhaul connections, and to further provide scheduling and routing instructions for the WAN connections and WAN backhaul connections. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of allocating resources in a mobile telecommunications system, the resources being for a relay node to operate as a terminal-to-terminal relay for a device-to-device communication between a first terminal and a second terminal. The method includes: allocating first resources for the first terminal to communicate via the relay node for the device-to-device communication; allocating second resources for the second terminal to communicate via the relay node for the device-to-device communication; notifying the first terminal of the allocated first resources; notifying the second terminal of the allocated second resources; and the first and second terminals exchanging messages for the device-to-device communication via the relay node and using the first and second resources, respectively.
