Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices and/or methods. For example, an apparatus may include a memory, and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to execute logic stored in the memory to cause a power- constrained Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) Device (PD NAN Device) within a NAN Cluster to transition to a non-synchronization- frame (non-Sync-frame) mode based on a triggering event including at least one of: reception, by a NAN layer of the PD NAN Device, of transition instructions from a Service/Application layer of the PD NAN Device; or reception by the PD NAN Device of a management frame from a non-power-constrained NAN Device (non-PD NAN Device), the management frame including information on the PD NAN Device transitioning to a non-Sync-frame transmitter mode.
Abstract:
A device for participating in a group of cooperating devices that is identified by a group code includes membership circuitry and group circuitry. The membership circuitry is configured to generate and analyze membership messages, wherein the membership messages include a group name that is associated with the group code; and instruct the device to transmit and receive membership messages with a network. The group circuitry is configured to generate and analyze group messages, based at least on a received membership message that includes the group code; and instruct the device to transmit and receive, using a device-to-device interface circuitry of the device, group messages with a device in the group.
Abstract:
A communication device can include a processor configured to receive, on a radio channel, an uplink radio transmission in a first waveform format from a terminal device that instructs the communication device to forward the uplink radio transmission to a network access node, and transmit, on the radio channel, the uplink radio transmission to the network access node with a preamble in a second waveform format to protect the uplink radio transmission from collisions.
Abstract:
Controllers of wireless control systems and apparatuses of Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes and user equipment (UEs) are disclosed. An apparatus of a RAN node configured to store data corresponding to a mapping table received from a controller in a control message. The mapping table is configured to indicate a relationship between a specific data packet header field of the control message and a desired reliability of a data packet to be sent to or received from a particular UE. The apparatus is configured to determine the desired reliability of the data packet to be sent to or received from the particular UE based on the mapping table. The apparatus is further configured to allocate network resources to the data packet to accommodate the desired reliability of the data packet.

A communication device for a vehicular radio communications includes one or more processors configured to identify a plurality of vehicular communication devices that form a cluster of cooperating vehicular communication devices, determine channel resource allocations for the plurality of vehicular communication devices that includes channel resources allocated for a first vehicular radio communication technology and channel resources allocated for a second vehicular radio communication technology, and transmit the channel resource allocation to the plurality of vehicular communication devices.
Abstract:
A wireless device having a receiver configured to receive, from a second wireless device, information about one or more infrastructure devices having respective coverage areas in which the second wireless device traveled, wherein the information comprises time stamp information and geographical information of the second wireless device when the information was observed; and a processor configured to process the information of the one or more infrastructure devices to determine to which of the infrastructure devices the wireless device is to be handed over.
Abstract:
A message from a radio access node (RAN) node may be processed. The message may identify a communication mode to use for vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communication. The identified communication mode may be stored in the communication mode configuration. A V2X message may be communicated via at least one of a first interface and a second interface based on the communication mode configuration. The first interface may be an air interface with the RAN node, and the second interface may be an air interface with a device.
Abstract:
An application management apparatus for controlling tasks, including a task split and response merge circuit configured to divide an application into a plurality of tasks and associate respective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) attributes to the plurality of tasks; and a task management circuit configured to allocate each of the plurality of tasks to a first or second Radio Access Technology (RAT) based on the KPI attributes, and to derive a plurality of task responses from the first or second RATs to which the respective plurality of tasks are allocated, wherein the task split and response merge circuit is further configured to merge the task responses to select the first or second RAT to run the application.
Abstract:
A Long-Term Evolution evolved NodeB (LTE eNB) may use 4 th Generation (4G) radio resources, of the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Communication Standards, to communicate with User Equipment (UE). The LTE eNB may receive an indication that a particular UE is capable of device-to-device (D2D) communications using 5 th Generation (5G) radio resources. The LTE eNB may determine whether the UE is also capable of D2D communications using 4G radio resources. The LTE eNB may allocate 4G or 5G radio resources to the UE based on the capabilities of the UE and one or more other factors, such as network congestion, current radio resource allocations, etc.
Abstract:
Techniques for facilitating V2X (V2V (vehicle to vehicle), V2I (vehicle to infrastructure), and/or V2P (vehicle to pedestrian)) communication between UEs (User Equipments) are discussed. A first set of techniques relate to facilitate selection of a V2X RAT (radio access technology) for a UE in a cell. A second set of techniques relate to facilitating V2X communication between UEs that do not employ a common V2X RAT for direct communication of safety messages.
