A method includes, in response to a determination one or more quiet periods conflict with specified hybrid automatic repeat request feedback timing, sending one or more indicators to one or more user equipment to indicate to the user equipment to shift the specified hybrid automatic repeat request feedback timing to a shifted hybrid automatic repeat request feedback timing. The method includes communicating hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on the shifted hybrid automatic repeat request feedback timing. Another method includes receiving at a user equipment one or more indicators indicating to the user equipment to shift specified hybrid automatic repeat request feedback timing to a shifted hybrid automatic repeat request timing, and communicating hybrid automatic repeat request feedback based on the shifted hybrid automatic repeat request timing. Apparatus, computer program product, and computer programs are also disclosed.

Provided are methods, corresponding apparatuses, and computer program products for performing out-of-band sensing on an unlicensed frequency band. A method comprises sending a configuration message for configuring measurement on at least one channel in a frequency band of a primary system; receiving a measurement report made based upon the configuration message; and determining the usability of the at least one channel based upon the measurement report, wherein the configuration message includes information regarding a respective predetermined threshold of energy detection or primary-system-feature detection, and the measurement report is for reception when a measured energy detection value or a measured primary-system-feature detection value of a received signal on the at least one channel is less than the respective predetermined threshold. With the claimed inventions, the spectrum efficiency would be improved and interference between a secondary system and an LTE system could be alleviated.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for scheduling radio resources in a communication system. According to the method, in response to receiving a request for accessing a target frequency band utilized by a Macro BS and a LPN from a frequency-shared system, a first notification is transmitted to the Macro BS, such that the Macro BS deactivates the target frequency band, and a second notification is transmitted to the LPN, such that the LPN extends its coverage. Then, information on the extended coverage is received from the LPN.

Provided are methods, corresponding apparatuses, and computer program products for performing spectrum sensing on a spectrum. A method comprises receiving, at a user equipment, information regarding performing spectrum sensing from a base station; performing, based upon the information, the spectrum sensing by the user equipment in an idle mode; and transmitting, by the user equipment out of the idle mode, to the base station a result of the spectrum sensing. With the claimed inventions, transmission interruption caused by non-idle user equipments performing the spectrum sensing would be eliminated.

摘要:
Communication systems, such as the long term evolution (LTE) advanced (LTE-A) of the third generation partnership project (3 GPP) may benefit from various enhancements. These enhancements can include LTE time division duplex (TDD) enhancements for traffic adaptation and uplink (UL)-downlink (DL) interference management. A method can include determining whether a first cell, in a network including the first cell and a second cell, autonomously selects a time division duplex uplink-downlink configuration. The method can also include sending an authority indicator to a base station of the first cell regarding a determination of whether the first cell is to autonomously select the configuration.
摘要:
A method for neighbor cell assisted TDD configurations is described. The method includes receiving, from a serving cell, a first configuration. The first configuration is a cell specific configuration which indicates a first set of individual configurations for each of a plurality of SFs. A second configuration is received from the serving cell. The second configuration is a UE specific configuration which indicates a second set of individual configurations for each of the plurality of SFs. The method includes determining whether a given SF is configured differently in the first configuration than in the second configuration. In response to determining that the given SF is configured differently in the first configuration than in the second configuration, the method also includes communicating, with a neighbor cell, in the given SF as configured in the second configuration. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
摘要:
There is a pattern for downlink almost blank sub frames ABSFs for a first network node (e.g., macro eNB) operating in a first component carrier (e.g., PCell). For a user equipment UE operating with the first network node on the first component carrier and also with a second network node on the second component carrier, then either or both of the following are imposed. The UE is scheduled on the first component carrier such that no uplinic control information UCI from the UE is scheduled for any uplink subframe in the first component carrier which maps from any of the ABSFs; and the UE is scheduled on the second component carrier such that UCI from the UE is scheduled only for an uplinic subframe in the second component carrier which maps from any of the ABSFs. By example, the UCI includes either/or ACKs and NACKs corresponding to data sent downlink to the UE.
摘要:
Systems and techniques for contention based transmission in a cellular network. A physical uplink shared channel is used for contention based transmission by a device such as a user equipment, based at least in part on information provided by a physical uplink control channel associated with the physical uplink shared channel. In addition, a base station such as an eNodeB may respond to a physical uplink shared channel by providing a common physical downlink shared channel providing acknowledge ment/negative acknowledgement information. In addition, the base station may provide a physical downlink control channel indicating the common physical downlink shared channel.
