摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices for separating signaling data and traffic data onto separate carriers for wireless communications systems are provided. Some embodiments utilize flexible bandwidth that may utilize portions of spectrum that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform through utilizing flexible waveforms. Flexible bandwidth systems may lead to reduced data rate on the signaling or other channels. Separating the signaling and the data traffic into different flexible bandwidth carriers so that assigned resources can be customized to different traffic patterns may address this issue. In some embodiments, the signaling data is received and/or transmitted over a first carrier separate from any other traffic data. For example, the signaling data may be received and/or transmitted over the first band carrier without any other traffic data. The traffic data and/or network data associated with the signaling data may be received and/or transmitted over a separate, second carrier.

Methods, systems, and devices for utilizing flexible bandwidth carriers for small cells are provided. Bandwidth scaling factor(s) for a small cell may be determined. A flexible bandwidth carrier may be generated for the small cell utilizing the bandwidth scaling factor. Some embodiments provide assistance with active hand-in due to more available PN offsets in the flexible bandwidth domain. Some embodiments enhance small cell discovery with high bandwidth scaling factor beacon-like small cells with little more power than that corresponding to the same power spectral density for normal bandwidth small cell. Some embodiments reduce the interference caused by small cell to macrocell users using an adaptive bandwidth scaling factor for small cells based on number of users supported and their traffic demand, to control the extent of overlap the macrocell has with small cell and the interference to macrocell mobiles. Some embodiments utilize self-configuration for small cells utilizing flexible bandwidth channels.

Techniques are provided to facilitate offloading of mobile entities from a serving network entity. For example, there is provided a location-based method that involves, in response to a load of the requesting entity exceeding a load threshold, identifying candidate network entities to which to offload a user equipment (UE), each of the candidate network entities being in sleep mode. The method may involve determining coverage and location information for the candidate network entities, and determining location information for the UE. The method may involve selecting a given network entity to turn ON based at least in part on the coverage information and the location information. The method may involve sending an ON-request message to the at least one selected network entity, the ON-request message including a timer that can be used to deactivate the selected network entity in case it is not useful in offloading the serving network entity.

Techniques are provided for frequency and timing synchronization of a femto access point (FAP). In one example, the FAP may be configured to establish an out-of-band (OOB) link with at least user equipment (UE), and receive aiding parameters from the at least one UE via the OOB link. The FAP may be configured to extract frequency and timing information from at least one uplink packet of the at least one UE based at least in part on the aiding parameters. Extracting the frequency and timing information may involve sniffing the at least one uplink packet to a macro base station (e.g., eNB).

A method of providing signaling information for a wireless communication node includes: obtaining, at first user equipment (UE), first information associated with a first node of a first radio access technology (RAT) network that uses a first RAT, the first UE being configured for wireless telecommunication; and sending, in response to obtaining the first information, second information from the first UE to a second node of a second RAT network that uses a second RAT that is different from the first RAT.

An access point may control reporting configurations based on current power state of a cell in wireless communications network. The first cell may provide reporting configuration instructions to a second cell, instructing selection between at least two defined configurations for reporting system information or load information from the second cell, based on whether the first cell is in a powered up state or a powered down state. The first cell may transmit notifications to the second cell indicating when the first cell is transitioning to a current power state, which may be one of the powered up state or the powered down state. The first cell may select one of the at least two configurations for interpreting reporting data received from the second cell, based its current power state, to obtain the system information or the load information from the second cell.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for dynamically adapting the bandwidth of flexible bandwidth carriers. Adapting the bandwidth of a flexible bandwidth carrier may be achieved through changing the scale factor of the flexible bandwidth signal. Information such as traffic patterns, interference measurements, etc., may be utilized to determine the adapted scaling factors. In macrocellular deployments, for example, dynamically adjusting the bandwidth of a flexible bandwidth system may be utilized in order to increase network capacity, mitigate interference caused to other carriers, avoid adjacent carrier interference, and/or save energy on the network. Traffic pattern and other information may also be utilized to dynamically adjust uplink and downlink bandwidths of a flexible bandwidth carrier, either jointly or independently.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing improved service to wireless devices in a radio access network (RAN). This is accomplished through affording cooperative arrangements wherein a helper mobile device having a good link to the RAN assists another mobile device having a poorer quality link to access the RAN, thereby offering improved service. The arrangement includes an out of band link between the mobile devices that does not use the same radio access technology as the RAN. Additionally, an incentive scheme provides credit to users of the assisting devices that is configured to encourage and sustain future cooperative arrangements. Credit may be transferred from a user of the assisted device to the user of the helper device as compensation. Further, an operator of the RAN may also inject credit to users of helper devices to incentivize and sustain future cooperative arrangements.
