Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method (200) in a network device for transmission of Narrow Band -Internet of Things (NB-IoT) data between a Radio Equipment Control (REC) node and a Radio Equipment (RE) node over Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). The method (200) comprises: transmitting (210) the NB-IoT data from the REC node to the RE node or from the RE node to the REC node in a Control and Management (C&M) region of a CPRI frame. The NB-IoT data is frequency-domain data.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method performed by a first wireless communication system operating on a first subframe structure in an unlicensed spectrum. The method comprises obtaining a subframe timing difference between the first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system operating on a second subframe structure in the unlicensed spectrum and determining whether unfairness exists between the first and second wireless communication systems based on the subframe timing difference. The method also comprises adjusting a subframe timing of the first wireless system, in response to the determination of the existence of unfairness, so that a probability to obtain a channel on an unlicensed carrier in the unlicensed spectrum for data communication by the first wireless communication system is improved.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method (300) in a Radio Unit (RU) for facilitating Clear Channel Assessment (CCA). The method (300) comprises: detecting (S310), in a first transmission period while the RU is operating in a first channel, whether one or more candidate channels in proximity to the first channel are unoccupied; determining (S320), when the first channel is not clear for transmission in a second transmission period, whether any of the one or more candidate channels that is detected to be unoccupied is clear for transmission in the second transmission period; and selecting (S330) one of the one or more candidate channels that is determined to be clear, for transmission in the second transmission period.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method (500) for data transmission at a communications device operable in an unlicensed spectrum. The communications device comprises a digital unit and a radio unit. The method (500) comprises selecting (510), at the radio unit, at least one unlicensed carrier from a set of candidate carriers in the unlicensed spectrum for channel sensing, in response to a data transmission request from the digital unit and performing (520) channel sensing on the at least one unlicensed cartier according to predetermined timing for data transmission. The method (500) further comprises transmitting (530) a data block prepared at the digital unit on a selected unlicensed carrier which is determined to be available by the channel sensing. There is also provided a corresponding communications device and a corresponding radio unit.
Abstract:
The invention discloses an adaptive phase shift method in a multi-carrier system, comprising: generating a group of one or more new phase values for corresponding one or more phase shift carriers, PSCs, based on quantization phase values; calculating and comparing a backward maximum power in an evaluation path with the group of one or more new phase values in one timeslot and a forward maximum power in a working path with current phase values in the timeslot; and adjusting phase of the PSCs based on the group of one or more new phase values if the calculated backward maximum power is less than the calculated forward maximum power. An adaptive phase shift apparatus is also disclosed. With the invention, complexity of the implementation is reduced and a small DPS block resource, low Hardware cost, low power consumption is also achieved.
