From a plurality of messages provided by at least a first license-exempt access node which give usage information for the at least one channel in license-exempt radio spectrum, there is derived channel-specific statistical traffic information. This information for the channel is then provided to a second access node that controls licensed radio spectrum. Or in another embodiment the second access node can get this information by sensing and measuring the channel itself. The second access node retrieves this information from its local memory and sends on the licensed radio spectrum a downlink message having contents, determined from the channel-specific statistical traffic information, for aiding a user equipment UE to access the channel with a probability defined by the contents. The UE receives this message, extracts the contents, and attempts to access that channel in the license-exempt radio spectrum utilizing the defined probability.

A method is provided for facilitating multicast service. The method may include receiving data multicast to members of a multicast group. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on an indication received during multicast of the data, that a late joining device has joined the multicast group subsequent to initiation of the multicast. The method may additionally include marking, based at least in part on the received indication, a point at which the late joining device began to participate in the multicast. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
摘要:
Systems and methods for providing relay in communications systems are disclosed. The relay may receive signals from user equipments (UEs) transmitting coded signals. The relay may receive turbo coded signals from the UEs. The relay station may encode a network channel for transmission to the base station using a recursive systematic convolutional (“RSC”) code. The use of RSC for the network code enables the base station to form as well a distributed turbo code as one can with the UE coded signals. In this manner the base station may recover the signal estimates for the UE signals with lower error probability when estimates at the relay station include errors due to imperfect reception. The use of the relay station and the RSC network code enables the base station to receive UE signals with lower error probability even when the transmission path from the UE is imperfect.

Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, a method of transmitting data via a wireless transmission path that may include a user equipment as a first end point, a base station as second end point, and at least one relay station as an intermediate point(s). The method may include receiving a data transmission from a prior point in the transmission path. Substantially simultaneously: forwarding the received data to the next point in the transmission path, and determining if the received data is corrupt. Transmitting a transmission message to the next point in the transmission path indicating whether or not the received data was corrupt. And, if the data is not corrupt, transmitting a receipt message to the prior point indicating that the data was uncorrupt when received.

The present invention discloses a cluster head assisted method for converting a user terminal from device-to-device (D2D) communication to cellular communication. When quality of a D2D link between a user terminal and a cluster head is lower than a predetermined threshold, if the user terminal has to leave the cluster but still expects to continue an original the service, the user terminal performs cell search and random access, and establishes a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a target base station of a cellular network. Switching from D2D communication to cellular communication is implemented with the assistance of the cluster head, and a communication manner after the switching is provided. The present invention implements mobile switching from D2D communication in distributed cluster communication to cellular communication, which can reduce route search delay and save wireless resources.
