摘要:
Examples are disclosed for exchanging beamforming information for a first wireless link utilized as a first connection of a dual connection for user equipment (UE) to access a network. The beamforming information exchanged between the UE and a small cell base station (BS) to configure the first wireless link as a beam-formed wireless link. Other examples are described and claimed.

Technology and techniques to page mobile devices and establish connections between mobile devices and small cell base stations in a heterogeneous network (HetNet.) A macro base station pager may transmit an enhanced paging message, the enhanced paging message to include an indication that the paging message may be answered through a small cell base station. A small cell base station configurator may transmit configuration information to the small cell base station. The small cell base station may transmit a beacon and a mobile device may establish a relay connection with the small cell base station to connect the mobile device to the macro base station through the small cell base station based at least in part upon the beacon. Furthermore, a macro base station backhauler may establish a backhaul connection with the small cell base station to communicate signals with the small cell base station related to the relay connection.

Techniques to support directional transmission and reception by wireless network boosters are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a directionally-transmitted booster reference signal, receive a system information message comprising timing offset information, and determine a time at which to send a link establishment message based on the timing offset information and a time of receipt of the directionally-transmitted booster reference signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus for providing enhanced access options for wireless access points (e.g., cellular femtocells). These access options in one embodiment include various grades or levels of private and public access to available femtocell services. Each service may be separately assigned a various access type, such that a femtocell may service multiple users both within the “closed” group authorized by the femtocell white list, and non-members. In one variant, a femtocell broadcasts enhanced system information to all terminals (regardless of member/non-member status) such that a non-CSG (Closed Subscriber Group) member terminal or UE is capable of obtaining partial service access within the femtocell. Broadcast multimedia or other services can be delivered to both CSG members and non-members, advantageously without having to establish a dedicated connection for the non-member users.
摘要:
A method and mobile communication device that reduce communication interruption time when a base station stops operating are described. The mobile communication device is wirelessly connected to a cell operated by a base station. The method includes determining a fallback cell, obtaining parameters to quickly establish a wireless connection to the fallback cell, determining that the base station is stopping operation, and using the parameters to quickly establish a wireless connection to the fallback cell. Also described are a base station and method for the base station to reduce communication interruption time. The method includes determining that the base station is stopping operation, switching to a backup power source if the base station is stopping operation due to loss of power, and transmitting a message to the mobile communication devices connected to the base station that they should switch to a fallback cell, since the base station is stopping operation.

A terminal may include a generator configured to generate a request for radio network resources from a cellular network; a transmitter configured to transmit the request for radio network resources to a relay device, wherein the request for radio network resources may be configured to be forwarded by the relay device to a base station of the cellular network; and a controller configured to establish a cellular network connection between the terminal and the base station of the cellular network using radio network resources assigned to the terminal by the cellular network.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus enabling a wireless network to generate data that can be used by a receiver (e.g., UE) to resolve the contributions of individual transmitters, such as to determine its location without resort to external devices such as GPS satellites. In one embodiment, the wireless network comprises a single frequency network (SFN), and a unique base station identifier is embedded within the data, and encoded in a manner which allows the UE to calculate path characteristics (such as path latency, and Direction of Arrival) to triangulate its position. In one variant, the data encoding comprises weighting frames of data from different base stations using an orthogonal matrix. Advantageously, the encoding and embedded identifier are also transparent to legacy UE, thereby allowing for implementation with no infrastructure or UE modifications other than software. Network and user apparatus implementing these methodologies, and methods of doing business, are also disclosed.
