    Abstract: A method for supporting multiple-input-multiple-output communications with a base station of a wireless telecommunications network, user equipment and a computer program product are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of establishing a grant associated with a secondary stream; and determining a transport block size for said secondary stream in accordance with a relationship between grant and transport block size, said relationship differing from a primary relationship between grant and transport block size used to determine a primary transport block size for a primary stream. By using this approach, where a different relationship, mapping, function or lookup table is used to derive the transport block size for the secondary stream to that relationship, mapping or function used to derive the transport block size for the primary stream from the grant of the primary stream enables different transport block sizes to be used, each of which may be appropriate to its associated stream.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for random access in a base station supporting communication with at least one CE-MTC UE. The method comprises: receiving from a user equipment, repetition transmissions of a first message including a random access preamble; repeatedly transmitting to the user equipment a second message including a random access response, RAR, wherein the second message has a characteristic dependent upon a first repetition level. Another embodiment of the present invention also relates to corresponding method for random access in a user equipment. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there are provided corresponding devices.

    Abstract: A transmitting device performs a channel assessment in a previous sub-frame in an unlicensed carrier. After a successful channel assessment, the transmitting device starts a data transmission. The transmitting device transmits a control message for indicating the data transmission in (E)PDCCH. The control message may include the starting time of the data transmission and/or at least one transmission characteristic in the previous sub-frame. The transmission device may transmit an initial control message for indicating a potential data transmission being started in the sub-frame in which the initial control message is transmitting. Method and apparatus enable (E)CCA to take place at any time, and data transmission to start earlier than the next sub-frame boundary after a successful completion of (E)CCA, thus improving the data transmission capacity, especially in circumstances when the maximum length of transmission is constrained.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for use in a low cost machine type communication user equipment, wherein the low cost machine type communication user equipment communicates with a legacy base station, are provided. The method comprises adjusting at least one parameter relating to scheduling such that the legacy base station is to schedule the low cost machine type communication user equipment with a transmission block size less than a predefined size. The method also comprises reporting the adjusted at least one parameter to the legacy base station. With the methods and apparatuses of the present disclosure, it is possible for the low cost machine type communication use equipment to operate in the coverage area of the legacy base station.

    Abstract: Aspects provide methods for controlling user equipment operation in a wireless communications network configured to support communication with the user equipment according to a communication mode which utilizes repetition of messaging; computer program products and network nodes operable to perform those methods. One method comprises: determining a modulation and coding regime to be used by the user equipment; identifying a repetition regime to be implemented by the user equipment in conjunction with the modulation and coding regime; and communicating an indication of the determined modulation and coding regime and identified repetition regime to the user equipment. Aspects recognize that when implementing a coverage enhanced region within a network it is possible that fixed repetition levels can be defined for CE-MTC UE. Those fixed repetition levels can be implemented by a network and recognize differences between the CE-MTC UE radio condition. That is to say, the number of repetitions used may correspond to radio condition being experienced at a machine-type communication device: those in poorer coverage regions will be selected to receive a greater number of repetitions than those in a better radio coverage region. The granularity of such repetition levels may subject to a given operator's implementation of a coverage enhanced region. The first aspect recognizes that it is possible to implement varying repetition levels for user equipment operating in the coverage enhanced region supported by a network access node. Those varying repetition levels can be configured at the network access node; for example, an eNodeB.

    Abstract: A method of selecting a common channel type for uplink transmission in a wireless communication network when conflicting instructions are received, a computer program product and user equipment operable to perform that method. The method comprises: attempting to acquire resource on a first type of common channel for uplink transmission of information in accordance with a first received instruction; receiving a second instruction to make any uplink transmission on a second type of common channel; determining whether there is any information to be sent and, if not, ceasing attempts to acquire resource on the first type of common channel. Aspects and embodiments described aim to provide a method to resolve a mixture of commands received by user equipment while aiming to ensure efficient overall network operation.
