Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided in which a user equipment (UE) receives a system information block (SIB) from a network. The UE identifies at least one downlink (DL) period based on a first uplink (UL)/DL configuration included in the SIB. The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during the at least one DL period using a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation. The UE obtains downlink control information (DCI) for indicating at least one second UL/DL configuration as a format for one or more time intervals from the monitored PDCCH. The UE determines the format for the one or more time intervals based on the obtained DCI. The monitoring of the PDCCH includes monitoring the PDCCH in an active time of a DRX cycle. The active time includes a time when the UE performs continuous reception.
Abstract:
A method and system for uplink-downlink transmission of message in a network. The method includes transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), to a radio access network (RAN) node, a random access channel (RACH) message including identifier information for identifying a serving gateway in a core network; receiving, by the UE, from the RAN node, a random access (RA) response message including uplink (UL) grant information; and transmitting, by the UE, to the RAN node, a data message including encrypted data in an idle mode. The data message is transmitted from the RAN node to the serving gateway based on the identifier information, and the encrypted data is generated by the UE, and the encrypted data is decrypted by the serving gateway.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for handling in-device coexistence interference in a user equipment are provided. The method includes receiving a list of non-serving Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequencies from a base station, configuring the non-serving LTE frequencies so as to perform a measurement on the configured non-serving LTE frequencies, and detecting a likelihood of in-device coexistence interference between at least one of the non-serving LTE frequencies and an Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency when an ISM activity is ongoing on the ISM frequency.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system. A UE receives a system information block (SIB) from a base station. The UE obtains a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration from the SIB. The UE identifies DL subframes in a radio frame. The UE monitors the PDCCH transmitted from the base station on a DL subframe included in an on duration period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The UE obtains information about a second TDD UL/DL configuration from the monitored PDCCH. The UE applies the second TDD UL/DL configuration to the radio frame. The DL subframe corresponds to a predetermined subframe number in the radio frame. The on duration period represents a period corresponding to a predetermined number of subframes from a subframe where the DRX cycle starts, and the on duration period is repeated periodically.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for activating and deactivating secondary cells in a carrier aggregation environment are provided. In one embodiment, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) command is received from a base station for activating/deactivating a secondary cell associated with a User Equipment (UE). The secondary cell configured for the UE is activated/deactivated based on the MAC CE command. Further, a first uplink grant is received from the base station upon activation/deactivation of the secondary cell. Accordingly, quality information (e.g., channel quality information, sounding reference signal information, and the like) associated with the cell(s) is transmitted to the base station in the received first uplink grant over a physical uplink shared channel. Furthermore, a hybrid automatic repeat request entity associated with the secondary cell is reset.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of configuring a set of Radio Access Network (RAN) parameters including Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configurations for user equipment in a wireless networking system. The method includes determining traffic characteristics associated with user equipment based on the number and types of applications running in it. The method further incudes steps of modifying and updating the DRX configurations and the RAN parameters for different situations of wireless transmission and reception. The updated DRX configurations and the RAN parameters for communication with the user equipment results in an efficient power consumption management.
