Abstract: Downlink common control information communicated in a first network (such as a macro network or a small cell) between a first/macro access node and a user equipment UE is mapped to an uplink resource. The first/macro access node and UE then tune to the mapped uplink resource to send or receive dedicated control information about the UE concerning a second network (an underlay network such as a femto CSG or D2D network). In one embodiment the DCI may be within a downlink assignment indicated by P-RNTI, RA-RNTI, or SI-RNTI; and the mapping uses a control channel element which carries the P-RNTI or the RA-RNTI or the SI-RNTI. In another the mapped uplink resource is a format 1a or format 1b PUCCH and the common control information requires neither an acknowledgement nor a negative acknowledgement. The dedicated control information may inform about interference experienced by the UE with the second network.

Abstract translation: 在第一/宏接入节点和用户设备UE之间的第一网络（例如宏网络或小小区）中通信的下行链路公共控制信息被映射到上行链路资源。 第一/宏接入节点和UE然后调谐到映射的上行链路资源，以发送或接收关于UE的关于第二网络（诸如毫微微CSG或D2D网络的底层网络）的专用控制信息。 在一个实施例中，DCI可以在由P-RNTI，RA-RNTI或SI-RNTI指示的下行链路分配内; 并且该映射使用携带P-RNTI或RA-RNTI或SI-RNTI的控制信道单元。 在另一个中，映射的上行链路资源是格式1a或格式1b PUCCH，并且公共控制信息既不需要确认也不需要否定确认。 专用控制信息可以通知UE与第二网络所经历的干扰。

Abstract: A feedback radio resource in a license-exempt frequency band maps from a data radio resource to at least one frequency sub-band which the data resource excludes. The feedback resource is also spaced in time from the data resource by a predetermined interval. Feedback (ACK/NACK) for data received in the data resource is then sent in the feedback resource. In various embodiments the sub-band is one or more edges of the data resource channel, or of a license-exempt component carrier. The predetermined interval may be a function of how much of the data resource is occupied by data. The data transmitting device delays sending its data by a time offset from the end of a previous transmission on that channel, or if it does not know the end time it delays until the predetermined interval plus the length of the feedback resource have lapsed. Various synchronization aspects are also disclosed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, for a case in which there is an active connection established between a cellular network and a user equipment UE and the UE has simultaneously an active connection within a local network distinct from the cellular network, there is an indication within a resource allocation message communicated between the cellular network and the UE which is used to identify whether a radio resource allocated by the resource allocation message is for the cellular network or for the local network. In various embodiments, the local network is a D2D network and the message is directed to a C-RNTI associated with the D2D network; and/or a value of the indication identifies the allocated radio resource as an allocation for the D2D network or for the cellular network and also whether the allocation is to the UE or to a paired D2D device or to both.

Abstract: There is stored in a memory an association between each nth one of N content types with a respective nth group of N groups of identifiers (N is an integer greater than one, n indexes from 1 to N, and at least one of the groups has more than one identifier). A beacon sender selects one of the content types for a beacon to be transmitted and selects a beacon identifier from the group associated with the selected content type. The beacon to be transmitted is compiled to include content of the selected content type and the selected beacon identifier. The beacon receiver selects at least one of the content types; and for a plurality of beacons received, filters out from further processing each beacon having a beacon identifier that is not within the group of identifiers associated with any of the at least one selected content types. The network creates the association and broadcasts it in a network cell.

Abstract: The specification and drawings present a method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for improving device discovery and D2D operation, e.g., in LTE wireless systems, by using control signaling provided by a wireless network (e.g., by an eNB). The discovery channel/channels which conveys discovery signal/signals are configured by a network (e.g., by the eNB) and are mapped to control channel/channels (e.g., one-to-one). After sending/receiving the discovery signal/signals, the D2D devices are monitoring control channel/channels to get current information for establishing the D2D communication among these D2D devices, the current information may include a resource allocation for the D2D communication and a device list of candidates for establishing the D2D communication.
