Abstract: An apparatus of a base station in a network may include a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device may process a message received at the base station from a macro-cell base station. The message may include a request to act as a relay for a user equipment (UE). The processing device may then determine that the base station is to act as a relay for the UE. The processing device may then generate a message comprising an indication that the base station accepted the request to act as a relay for the UE.

Abstract: Apparatuses of a user equipment (UE), a cellular base station, and radio access network (RAN) nodes are disclosed. An apparatus of a wireless communication device includes circuitry configured to measure reference signals received from a plurality of antennas of an other wireless communication device, and circuitry configured to cause one or more antennas of the wireless communication device to transmit information regarding the received reference signals back to the other wireless communication device to enable the other wireless communication device to estimate a utility function for different transmit parameter sets.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide cross-layer bearer splitting and cross-RAT retransmission in a RAN-based WLAN/WWAN integrated network. A link aggregation transmitter is configured to receive, from a WLAN stack lower layer protocol, a WLAN transmission confirmation signal and a WLAN congestion status, and to receive, from a WWAN stack lower layer protocol, a WWAN transmission confirmation signal and a WWAN congestion status. The link aggregation transmitter dynamically splits the bearer traffic across the WWAN link and the WLAN link based at least in part on the WLAN transmission confirmation signal, the WLAN congestion status, and the WWAN congestion status.

Abstract: Uplink (UL) data splits between LTE and WLAN can be go supported in cellular networks. The split can be UE controlled or network controlled. Both UE and network controlled bearer split architectures can be supported. The reporting of Uplink Buffer Status (BSR) and the subsequent data allocation can depend on what option is supported by the network. For UE controlled UL data splits, the UE determines a traffic split ratio between LTE and WLAN. The split can be based on local link conditions. For network controlled UL data splits, the network (e.g. a Link Aggregation Scheduler at the eNB) is responsible for making bearer split decisions. The decisions can be based on link qualities, available traffic and quality of service (QoS) requirements of associated users. The split can be based on a per bearer threshold, an eNB configured ratio, or an implicit inference based on a UL grant.

Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) point-to-point communications link between an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network node B (eNB) and a user equipment device (or simply UE) is identified by UE/eNB media access control (MAC) identifiers on a per UE or per data radio bearer (DRB) basis for offloading cellular data from a long term evolution (LTE) link to the WLAN point-to-point communications link. A wireless local area network tunneling protocol (WLTP) includes packet formats and network protocol stack arrangements to support functions facilitated by the WLAN point-to-point communications link, such as, for example, identification of control and data traffic messages, DRB identification for WLTP packets, quality of service (QoS) delay and packet loss measurement, support of bearer splitting, and support of a general framework for offloading cellular traffic at different depths of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network protocol stack.
