摘要:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for packet based device-to-device (D2D) discovery in an LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, UE may be enabled for proximity services and may be configured to receive signaling from an enhanced node B (eNB) indicating resources allocated for D2D discovery. The UE may configure a discovery packet in accordance with a predetermined configuration to have at least a discovery payload and a cyclic-redundancy check (CRC). The discovery payload may include discovery-related content. The UE may be configured to transmit the discovery packet on at least some of the indicated resources for receipt by a receiving UE. In some embodiments, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) may be selected to indicate a payload size and/or MCS of the discovery packet's payload.
摘要:
Examples may include techniques to enable user equipment (UE) to establish a device-to-device (D2D) communication link for D2D communications with another UE. In some examples, the D2D communications may occur when either both or at least one UE is within a coverage area for a wireless wide area network (WWAN). In some other examples, both UEs may be outside of the coverage area and may utilize a third UE to provide or relay information for use to establish the D2D communication link.
摘要:
A user equipment (UE) includes a reference signal component, a guard period component, and a transmission component. The reference signal component is configured to randomly select a sequence for a reference signal for transmission in an open device-to-device discovery packet. The guard period component is configured to determine a first symbol signal for transmission during a first symbol of the device-to-device discovery packet. The first symbol comprises a partially punctured symbol. The transmission component is configured to transmit the device-to-device discovery packet. The device-to-device discovery packet includes the first symbol having the partially punctured symbol and a reference signal based on the randomly selected sequence.

Embodiments of an enhanced node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) and methods of signaling for proximity services and device-to-device (D2D) discovery in an LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the eNB may transmit signaling to indicate D2D discovery zone configuration to proximity service (ProSe) enabled UEs. The signaling may indicate time and frequency resources and a periodicity of a discovery zone and may indicate operational parameters for the discovery zone. The resources of the D2D discovery zone may be allocated for D2D discovery signal transmission by the ProSe-enabled UEs.

Technology for a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network is described. A temporary identification (Temp ID) can be received from an enhanced node B (eNB). A D2D discovery resource allocation can be received within a physical uplink channel from the eNB. A UE D2D discovery resource can be selected from the D2D discovery resource allocation based on the Temp ID. A D2D discovery beacon can be transmitted from the UE D2D discovery resource to enable other UEs to detect the UE.

Technology for adapting uplink-downlink (UL-DL) time-division duplexing (TDD) subframe configurations in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) is disclosed. One method can include a reference enhanced Node B (eNB) determining a preferred adaptive UL-DL configuration. The eNB can receive node configuration information for at least one neighboring node. The eNB can reconfigure an adaptive UL-DL configuration for at least one of the reference eNB and the at least one neighboring node based on the node configuration information and sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe scheduling of the reference eNB and the at least one neighboring eNB.

An apparatus and method for managing interference to facilitate allocation of a dynamic uplink and downlink configuration are disclosed herein. Determining whether a first cell causes interference less than a pre-determined threshold level to one or more neighboring cells or whether flexible subframes of radio frames associated with the one or more neighboring cells operate as downlink subframes. In response to the determining condition being met, allocating a first flexible subframe of a first radio frame associated with the first cell to operate as a downlink subframe at normal transmit power level. In response to the determining condition not being met, allocating the first flexible subframe of the first radio frame associated with the first cell as one of a downlink subframe operating in a reduced transmit power level or as an uplink subframe.
摘要:
Technology is discussed for self-optimization approaches within wireless networks to optimize networks for energy efficiency, load capacity, and/or mobility, together with new, supporting channel state measurements and handover techniques. New, Channel State Information-Reference Signals (CSI-RSs) for yet-to-be-configured Cell-IDentifications (Cell-IDs) can be used to determine whether adjacent transmission cells can provide coverage for transmission cells that can be switched off for energy efficiency during formation of a Single Frequency Network (SFN). New approaches are also discussed to facilitate mobility within such a network. The new CSI-RSs and mobility approaches can also be used to split up such a SFN when changing load demands so require. Additionally, such new approaches can be used to create a SFN with a common Cell-ID where high mobility is required, such as near a roadway, and to break it up where high capacity is required, such as during a period of traffic congestion.
