Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided that include mitigating interference for devices communicating with femto nodes or other low power base stations by assigning protected resources for communicating therewith. The protected resources can be negotiated with a macrocell base station using interference cancellation. The protected resources can be assigned based on an early or late handover event, which can indicate that the device may be susceptible to interference from the macrocell base station.
Abstract:
Neighbor relation information management involves, for example: acquiring, reporting, and exchanging neighbor relation information. In some cases, neighbor relation information is acquired and/or reported in a manner that does not significantly impact other functionality of the access terminal. For example, an access terminal may be configured to acquire and/or report neighbor relation information only during one or more defined radio states. In some cases, the acquisition of neighbor relation information is based on a neighbor relation threshold. In some cases, an access terminal does not immediately report measured neighbor relation information and instead stores the information for reporting at a later time. In some cases, a transmitted indication is used to facilitate retrieval of neighbor relation information from an access terminal. In some cases, neighbor relation information acquired from an access terminal is exchanged over a direct interface between access points.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an eNB. In one configuration the eNB may establish a connection to a remote apparatus, receive a message from the remote apparatus indicating that the connection is supporting one of background traffic or active traffic, determine whether the connection is supporting the background traffic or the active traffic using the message, and set a time value for a state timer related to an operating state of the remote apparatus based on whether the connection is supporting the background traffic or the active traffic. In another configuration the eNB may establish a connection to a remote apparatus and disable one or more modes of communication based on whether the connection is supporting the background traffic or the active traffic.
Abstract:
An indication is used to control how message service information is routed over different domains. For example, an access terminal may be configured with an indication that indicates that a message service is preferred to be invoked over an IP domain or that the message service is not be invoked over the IP domain. The access terminal then delivers message service information based on the value of the indication. In some cases, a network entity generates the indication and sends the indication to the access terminal. In some cases, a domain for delivery of message service information is selected based on a domain that was selected for particular type of traffic

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for supporting adaptive resource negotiation between evolved node Bs (eNBs) for enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) are provided. This resource negotiation may occur via a network backhaul between the eNBs or, in some cases, using over-the-air messages (OAMs). For certain aspects, a first eNB may propose its adaptive resource partitioning information (ARPI) to a second eNB, where the second eNB may accept or reject the proposed resource partitioning. If the second eNB accepts the proposed partitioning, the second eNB may schedule resources, such as subframes, based on the accepted partitioning.
