    摘要: Techniques for mobile broadband and machine type communication network coexistence are provided. A method can include embedding, by a system comprising a processor, narrowband carriers, comprising a first narrowband carrier having a first bandwidth and a second narrowband carrier having the first bandwidth, into respective portions of an enhanced wireless broadband carrier, the enhanced wireless broadband carrier having a second bandwidth that is greater than the first bandwidth; transmitting, by the system to network equipment via the first narrowband carrier, a master information block comprising a first bandwidth field indicative of the first bandwidth and a second bandwidth field, distinct from the first bandwidth field, indicative of the second bandwidth; and scheduling, by the system, the network equipment on the second narrowband carrier in response to transmitting the master information block to the network equipment.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program product for managing one or more groups of Machine-Type Communication (MTC) devices in a cellular network. According to one aspect, a method for managing one or more groups of Machine-Type Communication (MTC) devices in a cellular network includes an exposure function for exposing network capabilities and events detected by other network functions, characterized by the following steps carried out at the exposure function: —a) receiving, from an MTC application, a request for membership management on the one or more MTC groups, wherein the request includes corresponding one or more MTC group identifiers and an MTC device identifier for the MTC application; and —b) transmitting, towards a user profile server, a corresponding request for membership management, wherein the corresponding request includes the one or more MTC group identifiers, the MTC device identifier and a corresponding MTC application identifier.

    摘要: Technologies for adaptive bandwidth reduction for an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway device are disclosed. The IoT gateway device receives data from one or more sensors, and determines a mathematical model to represent the sensor data. Certain aspects of the mathematical model used, such as the quantity of coefficients and the precision of the coefficients are determined based on the sensor data. For example, if the sensor data is within a normal range, a relatively small number of coefficients might be used, but if the sensor data is past or near an alert threshold, a larger number of coefficients might be used, which allows for the behavior of the sensor data to be better represented.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a first processor; a first commissioning element to communicate with external devices using wireless communication and a first memory storing programs for commissioning a target device onto a communication network. The communication network has configuration data including a network identifier and a network key. The programs provide a user interface for commissioning the target device. The target device includes a second processor, a second wireless radio, and a second commissioning element to receive the network configuration data. The target device decodes the network configuration data to commission the target device onto the communication network. The electronic device sends the network configuration data to the target device and receives confirmation that the target device has successfully connected to the communication network. The electronic device displays the success in a user interface.

    摘要: A communications system is described that has a base station and a number of user devices, including legacy user devices and non-legacy user devices. The base station generates control data for transmission to the user devices, the control data including common control data for reception and decoding by a plurality of user devices and user specific control data for reception and decoding by a specific user device. The common control data is for reception and decoding by the non-legacy user devices and cannot be decoded by the legacy user devices. The common control data is repeated within multiple subframes for reception and decoding by non-legacy user devices. The non-legacy user devices are typically Machine Type Communications (MTC) user devices.

    摘要: A communication method includes: a first device determines first control information, where the first control information carries first information, and the first information is used to indicate emergency information; and the first control information is format-3 control information, format-3A control information, format-6-0A control information, format-6-0B control information, format-6-1A control information, or format-6-1B control information; the first device sends the first control information to a second device; and the first device sends the emergency information to the second device. The method expands coverage of a network, and may be applied to an internet of things (IoT), for example, machine type communication (MTC), a long term evolution-machine (LTE-M), or machine-to-machine (M2M).
