Abstract:
A method includes joining a vehicular access network (VAN) comprising cooperative communication between a plurality of on-board units (OBU) in respective vehicles, scanning the VAN to pick up a coverage of at least one infrastructure access point (IAP), which operates on a control channel in a radio access tree (RAT) comprising a plurality of cells, listening to a channel allocation information from the IAP that includes a request for a mobile cell gateway (MCG) at a nominal location in the RAT, and sending a candidacy message to the at least one IAP to become an MCG. Certain embodiments include establishing the VAN in a highway, and in urban areas, aggregating traffic in a cell and transmitting to the IAP via the MCG, and other features.
Abstract:
Method and device for estimating the time-of-arrival of a received signal y(t), said method comprising the step of: generating a plurality of frequency-domain samples from the received signal y(t); estimating a correlation matrix (Formula I) from said plurality of frequency-domain samples; from said correlation matrix (Formula I), calculating a signal energy distribution with respect to different propagation delays; finding a delay value (Formula II) at which said signal energy distribution exceeds a certain threshold Pth, said delay value representing the time-of-arrival estimation.

Abstract:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for HARQ transmission are disclosed herein. The eNB may transmit, to a reduced-latency User Equipment (UE), an initial HARQ block and a diversity HARQ block for a reduced-latency data block. A sub-frame spacing between the transmissions of the HARQ blocks may be less than a sub-frame spacing used for transmissions of HARQ blocks to UEs not operating as reduced-latency UEs. The HARQ blocks for the reduced-latency data block may be transmitted in a reduced-latency region of time and frequency resources reserved for HARQ processes with reduced-latency UEs. In addition, HARQ blocks may be transmitted in time and frequency resources exclusive of the reduced-latency region to other UEs not operating as reduced-latency UEs.
Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment, a system and method are provided for translation services to facilitate interoperation between mobility schemes. In other embodiments, the system and method may provide transport and network services for legacy applications, and adaptive coding for message, packet, link and physical layers.
