Abstract: An example technique may include transmitting, by a base station via a component carrier in a licensed band, control information including a resource allocation that identifies time-frequency resources for periodical transmission opportunities to be used for the conditional transmission of discovery reference signals via a secondary component carrier in an unlicensed band, determining, prior to each transmission opportunity, whether the secondary component carrier in the unlicensed band is unoccupied, and transmitting, if the secondary component carrier in the unlicensed band is unoccupied, the discovery reference signals via the secondary component carrier in the unlicensed band using the identified time-frequency resources to one or more user devices.

Abstract: There is provided a method for defining at least one channel reservation window the method comprising: setting length for each of the at least one channel reservation window such that each channel reservation window comprises a plurality of sub-frames; dividing the length of each channel reservation window into a transmission part and an idle part, wherein the idle part consists of one or more symbols in one sub-frame; maximizing, at a symbol level accuracy, the length of the transmission part such that a ratio between the length of the idle part and the length of the transmission part fulfils a predetermined criterion; and concatenating the transmission part and the idle part so as to form the channel reservation window.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may include receiving, by a first network node, mapping information from at least one second network node. The mapping information indicates restrictions with respect to antenna ports to be used for measurements on each of one or more channel-state-information-reference-signal resources transmitted by at least one second network node. The method may also include transmitting a message to a user equipment. The message configures the user equipment to measure channel-state-information-reference-signal-received power from at least one of said one or more channel-state-information-reference-signal resources. The method may also include receiving a reporting from the user equipment.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for transmission power control are disclosed. A given transmission resource and a first transmission power are determined (202, 204) for transmission. Prior to transmitting on the given transmission resource it is determined (206) whether the resource is occupied or unoccupied. Upon detecting that the resource is occupied, a second, reduced transmission power is determined (210) such that a transmission using the second, reduced transmission power would not render the resource as occupied. The determination of the second transmission power is based at least partially on a predetermined maximum transmission power reduction value. Transmission (212) is done utilizing the given transmission resource using the second transmission power according to the determination.

Abstract: The application relates to improved hidden node detection for Long Term Evolution LTE Licensed-Assisted Access LAA. Channel State Information CSI measurements can be seen as one existing solution that could be used for obtaining information about the existence of a hidden node. However, relying on CSI reporting alone is rather unreliable. One of the reasons for this is that the CSI measurements and reporting do not take into account the regulatory requirements such as LBT. A further possible way to detect hidden nodes is to perform LBT (clear channel assessment CCA) at the transmitter (e.g. eNB) and receiver (e.g. UE) at the same time. However, there is still the need for an improved solution for how to detect hidden nodes preventing LTE LAA uplink operation and complicating coexistence. These problems are solved by ensuring that interference from non-hidden nodes (such as WLAN node 1 in FIG. 1) is not measured. Therefore the serving eNB detects a free channel during LBT procedure, i.e. that non-hidden nodes are not transmitting, and informs the UE which performs the hidden node detection measurements, by downlink scheduling, whether the serving eNB is active in the current subframe. The UE then performs the measurements only in subframes of the channel occupied by the serving eNB. Thereby, the UE only captures interference coming from hidden nodes.

Abstract: When triggering a user equipment (UE) to send a reference signal (SRS) the network configures the UE with multiple parameter sets, each having a timing indication. The UE's resource allocation grants multiple uplink (UL) subframes and identifies/selects one of those parameter sets. The timing indication of the selected set identifies one of the granted UL subframes, in one embodiment by counting only among the allocated/granted shortened UL subframes. This triggers the UE to send SRS in that identified shortened UL subframe. In one embodiment if no UL subframes in the grant are shortened this triggers the UE to send SRS in a subframe previous to an the allocated/granted multiple UL subframes. The same mechanism can be used to trigger feedback reports such as aperiodic channel state information or block ACK/NACK reports, where the different UL signaling being triggered is requested in the network's resource allocation to the UE.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for joint transmission cooperative multi-point. A set of n CSI reference signal resources are to be measured by a user device. The n CSI reference signal resources include at least one CSI reference signal resource spanning over at least two transmission points. Channel state information feedback corresponding to each CSI reference signal resource is configured. Upon receiving CSI from the user device, at least one precoder is selected for coherent joint cooperative multipoint transmission based on inter-transmission point phase relationship information. A co-phasing factor is derived from transmitted precoders over a cross-cell CSI reference signal resource, the derivation including transmission of reference signals using first and second precoding vectors on two ports, computation of a third vector using feedback based on the precoded reference signals, and computation of the co-phasing factor based on the first, second, and third vectors.
