Abstract:
A communication terminal is described comprising a first transceiver configured for communication according to a first radio access technology and a second transceiver configured for communication according to a second radio access technology. The second transceiver is configured to determine whether a frequency range is occupied by a transmission according to the second radio access technology and to notify the first transceiver whether the frequency range is occupied by a transmission according to the second radio access technology. The first transceiver is configured to receive signals transmitted in the frequency range based on the notification from the second transceiver.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a Spectrum Access System (SAS) controller, Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for allocation of shared spectrum are disclosed herein. The SAS controller may receive an indicator that a group of channels in the shared spectrum are available for secondary usage. The SAS controller may allocate one or more channels in the group to eNBs for usage in one or more census tracts. The census tracts may include interior and exterior portions, in some cases. Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) techniques may be used in accordance with the interior and exterior portions of the census tracts for allocation of the channels. Channels may be allocated for Priority Access License (PAL) usage and/or General Authorized Access (GAA) usage, in some cases.
Abstract:
A thermal finite-state-automaton includes system states and transitions between the system states. The system states may be based on a combination of network parameters for communicating through the wireless communication system and UE processing parameters. A default state is for operation of the UE at a sustainable performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters to maintain a UE temperature below a first temperature threshold. A high state is for operation of the UE during up to a maximum time duration at a peak performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters. A recovery state is for operation of the UE during at least a minimum time duration at a reduced performance configuration level for the network parameters and the UE processing parameters. An emergency shutdown state is triggerable by the UE temperature exceeding a second temperature threshold.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an enhanced node B (eNB) and methods for network-assisted interference cancellation with reduced signaling in a 3GPP LTE network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the number of transmission options is reduced by introducing a smaller signaling codebook. In some embodiments, higher-layer feedback from the UE to the eNodeB is established to inform the eNB about certain NA-ICS capabilities of the UE. In some embodiments, the number of signaling options is reduced by providing only certain a priori information. In some embodiments, correlations in the time and/or frequency domain are exploited for reducing the signaling message. In some embodiments, differential information is signaled in the time and/or frequency domain for reducing the signaling message.
Abstract:
Technology for improving the selection, transfer, and storage of user equipment (UE) radio capability information is disclosed. A cellular mobile network can be configured to identify radio-access-technology (RAT)-specific radio-capability information relating to RATs supported in the cellular mobile network and communicate the RAT-specific radio-capability information to a UE. The UE can use the RAT-specific radio-capability information to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. In addition, the UE may store a list of supported frequency bands and/or supported frequency-band combinations (LOSB) indexed by network operators and use the list to help determine which UE radio capability information to send to the network. A network node may also selectively remove unnecessary information from UE radio capability information before storing the UE radio capability information at a mobility management entity (MME).
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses and methods for enabling device-to-device (D2D) functionality for public safety applications. Various embodiments may include an eNB with a radio transceiver to communicate with a UE that includes D2D operation capabilities, and processing circuitry to send the UE a System Information Block (SIB) message to activate one or more public safety functionalities of the UE related to D2D operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide improved interference classification and parameter estimation at a User Equipment (UE) that uses received scheduling information associated with interfering cells from a network node together with parameters associated with interfering cells generated locally to the UE to generate an interference mapping data set that may be used to adjust subsequent interference classification and parameter estimation processing in the UE.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of this disclosure a communication terminal device is provided, comprising: a transceiver configured to communicate with a communication device according to a retransmission protocol; a controller configured, for a message transmitted from the communication device to the communication terminal device, to at least one of decide, upon a successful receipt of the message from the communication device, if the controller controls the transceiver not to transmit an acknowledgement message which is to be transmitted according to the retransmission protocol; and decide, upon an unsuccessful receipt of the message from the communication device, if the controller controls the transceiver not to transmit a negative acknowledgement message which is to be transmitted according to the retransmission protocol.
