摘要:
Methods of power control for LTE transmissions in unlicensed bands are described. One method includes determining, at a first device (such as a LTE UE or LTE eNB), a scheduled transmission window for a LTE transmission in an unlicensed band. The transmission window indicates a time for sending the transmission in the unlicensed band. Prior to the scheduled transmission window, the method also includes determining whether a WiFi transmitter is transmitting a signal in the unlicensed band. The method also includes, in response to determining that the transmitter is transmitting in the unlicensed band, determining an adjusted transmission power for the transmission and sending the transmission (such as from an LTE UE to an LTE eNB or from an LTE eNB to an LTE UE) in the transmission window at the adjusted transmission power. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
摘要:
The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for network management through a hierarchical architecture with a control functionality of a network server (e.g., C-SON) in relationship to clusters comprising eNBs (access points), and for implementing coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission and reception in conjunction with inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) in wireless networks such as LTE wireless networks. In particular, embodiments of the invention describe control and coordination mechanisms among the network elements for different network architectures and use-case scenarios. Such mechanisms may be managed by a centralized self-organizing network controller such as C-SON and hierarchically via localized controllers (such as cluster coordinators) residing in macro eNBs depending on system architectural constraints and network state. A fault-tolerant mechanism then may be defined to recover from failure of controlling sub-elements so that the network remains stable at all times.
摘要:
A method is disclosed that includes determining a preamble, at least a portion of which is unique to one or more user equipment for a device-to-device communication of one or more subframes on a band, and performing the device-to-device communication of the one or more subframes comprising the preamble on the band. The band could be, e.g., a lightly-licensed band, a licensed-exempt or unlicensed band, a secondary usage of a band of the licensed band, a band in TV white space, or a licensed band. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed.

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus, comprising a memory configured to store at least one first parameter, at least one processing core configured to control, using a cognitive radio principle, radio transmission using a first radio access technology, wherein the at least one first parameter is used in the cognitive radio principle, wherein the at least one processing core is configured to select the at least one first parameter in dependence of at least one second parameter, wherein the at least one second parameter at least one of relates to a second radio access technology and comprises a length of a last burst or silent period of the first radio access technology.
摘要:
A method and apparatus can be configured to perform steps comprising receiving channel-state information of at least one channel in a frequency band from at least a subset of a plurality of transmission nodes. The method may further comprise coordinating reserving of the at least one channel for a set of transmission nodes within the plurality of transmission nodes. The coordinating may be based on the received channel-state information to allow simultaneous transmission on the at least one channel by the set of transmission nodes. The method may further comprise communicating reservation information for the at least one channel to the set of transmission nodes.
