Abstract:
A base station requires one or more channels in an unlicensed frequency band for a predetermined time interval and schedules one or more user equipment for uplink transmission on the one or more channels during the predetermined time interval. User equipment transmits, over a licensed frequency band, a request for resources for uplink transmission in an unlicensed frequency band. The user equipment receives scheduling information indicating a first portion of a predetermined time interval that is allocated to the first user equipment for uplink transmission on one or more channels in the unlicensed frequency band.
Abstract:
A method is provided for receiving, at a receiving device, a control information message from a transmitting device. An example method includes determining at a user equipment (UE) a status of the UE and monitoring at the UE based on the status either a common search space (CSS) of a cell or a UE-specific search space (USS) of the cell. The cell is a cell of a secondary eNodeB for communicating with the UE. The method may further include monitoring a CSS and a USS of a cell of a master eNodeB (MeNB) simultaneously while monitoring either the CSS or the USS of the cell of the secondary eNodeB. The status may be a status of the UE with respect to a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure with the cell.

Abstract:
A method is provided for receiving, at a receiving device, a control information message from a transmitting device. The method includes monitoring a first plurality of reception resources contained in a first frequency range in a first subframe and a second plurality of reception resources contained in a second frequency range in a second subframe. The method also includes receiving a control information message in at least one of the monitored reception resources. The first frequency range is at least partly non-overlapping with the second frequency range.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for determining a channel sensing threshold in uplink channel detection of licensed-assisted access. The method comprises determining one or more parameters associated with the user equipment; and determining a channel sensing threshold for the user equipment based on at least one of the one or more parameters. The threshold determination method may realize suitable threshold determination, flexible channel access, and balance of channel access opportunity among a plurality of radio access points.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for transmitting uplink grant, the method comprising: transmitting the uplink grant by selecting a downlink subframe from a plurality of candidate downlink subframes each of the plurality of downlink subframes enabling scheduling of at least one user equipment to start transmitting burst data in a uplink subframe.
Abstract:
A method of delivering downlink control information associated with downlink data transmission on an unlicensed channel includes, transmitting downlink control information to a user equipment (UE) on a second channel without knowing when the unlicensed channel is available for transmission, wherein the downlink control information corresponds to a later transmission of data on the unlicensed channel if the unlicensed channel is available; and transmitting the data to the UE on the unlicensed channel according to the downlink control information, if the unlicensed channel is available for transmission.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the method includes performing symbol to resource element mapping such that mapping for a first message configured to use a first amount of transmission resource differs from mapping for a second message configured to use a second amount of transmission resource by a mapping offset of a number of resource units, and the first amount being different than the second amount.
Abstract:
A method is provided for determining delay between random access channel and downlink control channel in random access procedures. The method comprises receiving from a base station, by a user equipment, information related to one or more delay(s) between a random access channel and one or more repetition period(s) of a downlink control channel for the user equipment; sending to the base station, by the user equipment, the random access channel transmitted in a repetitive form; receiving, by the user equipment, the one or more repetition period(s) of the downlink control channel, wherein each of the one or more repetition period(s) of the downlink control channel is transmitted according to a corresponding one of the delay(s); and determining, by the user equipment, the one or more delay(s) based at least on the information related to the delay(s).
