Abstract:
Certain embodiments herein relate to stream allocation indication for high efficiency wireless networks. A frame may include a HE-SIG-B field having a common part and an STA-specific part used to indicate multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) resource allocation. In some embodiments, a frame may include an HE-SIG-B field only having an STA-specific part used to indicate resource allocation.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for signaling high efficiency short training field are disclosed. A high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW) station is disclosed. The HEW station may comprise circuitry configured to: receive a trigger frame comprising an allocation of a resource block for the HEW station, and transmit a high efficiency short training field (HE-STF) with a same bandwidth as a subsequent data portion, wherein the transmit is to be in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and wherein the transmit is within the resource block. A subcarrier allocation for the HE-STF may matche a subcarrier allocation for the subsequent data portion. The HE-STF and the subsequent data portion may be transmitted with a same power. A total power of active subcarriers of the HE-STF may be equal to or proportional to a second total of data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers of the subsequent data portion.
Abstract:
An energy aware framework for computation and communication devices (CCDs) is disclosed. CCDs may support applications, which may participate in energy aware optimization. Such applications may be designed to support execution modes, which may be associated with different computation and communication demands or requirements. An optimization block may collect computation requirement values (CRVM), communication demand values (CDVM), and such other values of each execution mode to perform a specific task(s). The optimization block may collect computation energy cost information (CECIM) and multi-radio communication energy cost information (MCECIM) for each execution mode. Also, the optimization block may collect the workload values of a cloud-side processing device. The optimization block may determine power estimation values (PEV), based on the energy cost values (CECIM), (MCECIM), CRVM, and CDVM. The optimization block may then determine the execution mode or the apparatus best suited to perform the tasks.
Abstract:
Embodiments of computer-implemented methods, systems, computing devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for opportunistically transitioning service flows of mobile devices between being direct and indirect. In various embodiments, a proximity between first and second mobile devices that are in wireless communication with each other may be monitored. In various embodiments, a selective transition of a service flow between the first and second mobile devices from being indirect through the radio network access node using a first radio access technology (“RAT”) to being direct using a second RAT may be facilitated, e.g., responsive to a determination that a first criterion has been met. In various embodiments, a selective transition of the service flow from being direct using the second RAT to being indirect using the first RAT may be facilitated, e.g., responsive to a determination that a second criterion has been met.
Abstract:
A system and method for wireless wide area network (WWAN) assisted proximity wireless local area network (WLAN) peer-to-peer (P2P) connection and offloading is disclosed. The method includes the operation of identifying a first wireless device and a second wireless device between which a WLAN P2P connection is desired. Each wireless device can have a WWAN radio and a WLAN radio. WLAN information can be sent for at least one of the first and second wireless devices via the WWAN to a P2P configuration server. A WLAN P2P configuration can be received from the P2P configuration server at the first and second wireless devices via the WWAN for WLAN P2P communication between the first and second wireless devices. A WLAN P2P connection can be set up between the first and second wireless devices using the WLAN P2P configuration. The first and the second wireless devices can communicate using the WLAN P2P connection.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method that allow user equipment (UE) to transmit information directly with other user equipment, using a device-to-device (D2D) mode is disclosed herein. A first D2D UE (dUE1) that wishes so communicate to a second D2D UE (dUE2) in D2D mode makes various communications requests to an Evolved Node B (eNB), which can facilitate the connection between the dUE1 and the dUE2. Among these requests are to make the D2D connection via WiFi instead of via Long Term Evolution (LTE). The eNB determines the WiFi capabilities of dUE1 and dUE2, then assigns a subset of available channels to be scanned by dUE1 and a separate subset of available channels to be scanned by dUE2. Thereafter, the eNB can assign a WiFi channel based on the scans performed by dUE1 and dUE2.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a transceiver operable to receive a downlink message from a base station for a serving cell, the downlink message allocating a set of control parameters. The apparatus may also include a processor circuit communicatively coupled to the transceiver and an uplink power control module operable on the processor circuit to read the set of control parameters, and apply a signal-to-noise-and-interference (SINR) parameter based on the received set of control parameters to determine physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power to be applied for a PUSCH transmission. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for determining, at a base station, a target received power parameter for a wireless device in communication with the base station. In some examples, the target received power parameter may be determined based on one or more uplink status signals received from the wireless device at the base station and/or one or more other base stations. For these examples, the wireless device may adjust one or more transmit power levels responsive to receiving the target received power parameter from the base station. Other examples are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a pathloss gap between a downlink pathloss from a base station to a mobile station and an uplink pathloss from the mobile station to the base station is estimated. An initial offset value for uplink power control of the estimated pathloss gap is calculated based at least in part on said estimating. An offset value for an uplink data channel or an uplink control channel, or combinations thereof, is set based at least in part on the initial offset value. The pathloss gap for uplink power control is compensated using the set offset value.
Abstract:
