    Abstract: Technology to improve resource allocation for inter-cell device-to-device (D2D) discovery and timing synchronization between user equipments (UEs) connected to asynchronous network deployments is disclosed. Also, transmission rules are provided for networks wherein discovery-resource pools are allocated in a frequency-division-multiplexing (FDM) manner. In the first sub-frame of a transmission-resource pool, there may be overlap between resources that are allocated for a discovery-resource pool and resources that are allocated for D2D synchronization signals (D2DSSs). Non-overlapping PRBs in the discovery-resource pool can be allocated for WAN transmission or D2D—discovery transmission. In scenarios where discovery-resource pools are allocated using FDM, a measurement such as reference signal received power (RSRP) or path loss can be made for a UE. The measurement can be compared to a threshold value to determine whether the UE will transmit a D2DSS.

    Abstract: Technology for an eNodeB to communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a self-contained time division duplex (TDD) subframe within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The eNodeB can process, for transmission to the UE, a DL self-contained time division duplex (TDD) subframe comprising an extended physical downlink shared channel (xPDSCH), an extended physical downlink control channel (xPDCCH), a downlink (DL) spacing signal, and a guard period, wherein the xPDSCH, the xPDCCH, the DL spacing signal, and the guard time are located within the DL self-contained TDD subframe prior to an extended physical uplink control channel (xPUCCH). The eNodeB can process, an uplink (UL) self-contained TDD subframe, received from the UE, having a UL spacing signal located after an extended physical uplink shared channel (xPUSCH).

    Abstract: A machine type communication (MTC) device is configured to communicate through a long term evolution (LTE) network. The MTC device include a wireless transceiver to receive a signal through the LTE network, a soft buffer configured to store a plurality of soft channel bits for up to a maximum number of hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) processes, and a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit is configured to determine a total number of soft channel bits based at least on the maximum number of HARQ processes, and to use limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) to store a reduced number of the total number of soft channel bits in the soft buffer.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to identify downlink control channel candidates for receiving downlink control information is disclosed. The UE can decode a downlink control information (DCI) format received from an eNodeB. The DCI format can indicate a set of resource blocks (RBs) in one or more subframes allocated for reception or transmission of data or control information in a shortened transmission time interval (S-TTI). The UE can identify a subset of resource elements (REs) within the set of RBs in the one or more subframes. The subset of REs can correspond to shortened physical downlink control channel (S-PDCCH) candidates in the S-TTI of one or more subframes. The UE can attempt to decode the S-PDCCH candidates in the S-TTI of the one or more subframes. S-PDCCH candidates that are successfully decoded can cause the UE to identify the downlink control information.

    Abstract: Technology for decreasing latency for contention based scheduling request (SR) transmission is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can process, for transmission to an enhanced node B (eNB), a DeModulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) that is randomly selected from a set of configured DM-RS sequences or configured by the eNB. The UE can select an SR transmission resource as a function of a DM-RS sequence index or cell identification (ID) based on a predefined mapping rule. The UE can process, for transmission to the eNB, a SR message having a buffer status report (BSR) and UE identification (UE-ID) information on the selected SR transmission resource.
