Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for grouping cells according to traffic characteristics and allocating resources in time and/or frequency domain to the different groups and within the groups, allowing a partial overlap.
Abstract:
A user equipment UE has a c-plane connection to a macro cell and a u-plane connection to a source local cell. The u-plane connection is handed over to a target local cell while maintaining the c-plane connection so the macro cell can facilitate the u-plane handover. In one embodiment the UE uses coverage information about the source local cell and its own mobility to predict when the handover is needed, and the macro cell can identify which is the target local cell. The handover can occur across a coverage gap between the source and target local cells, where the UE gets synchronization information and a dedicated preamble for the target local cell prior to being in its range. In the examples also path switching and transfer of the UE context can occur prior to the UE being in range of the target local cell.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include detecting, at a first node, an event; generating, at the first node, a message in response to the detected event; and sending, at the first node, the message to at least a second node to enable the second node to determine at least one of a reliability or an importance of the message. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
Abstract:
A system comprising: a plurality of base stations forming a multicast broadcast single frequency network operating using unlicensed frequency resources; and a network element configured to allocate a transmission period to each of the plurality of base stations, wherein each base station is configured to independently determine whether the unlicensed frequency resources are available for transmission, and transmit a data packet using the unlicensed frequency resources during the allocated transmission period only if the unlicensed frequency resources are determined to be available.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method is disclosed, in which the apparatus comprising circuitry configured for: estimating or determining a future communications state for each of a plurality a mobile devices K associated with a base station, the future communications state being indicative of the mobile device communicating in an uplink to a base station or in a downlink from the base station at a future time slot t or being idle and also determining a target position of at least one of the mobile devices, based at least partly on its estimated communication state, for enabling re-positioning of said at least one mobile device to the determined target position substantially at said future time slot t.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus including a memory configured to store received information, and at least one processing core configured to determine a quality level at which the received information was received, to select, based at least partly on the quality level, a feedback resource, and to decide on causing transmission of feedback on the selected feedback resource.
Abstract:
A method comprising determining a view from a location, the view comprising visual information that is perceivable along a direction extending from the location, causing display of a visual representation of the view on a display such that the view is viewable by a user at a focal depth, determining a different view from the location, the different view comprising visual information that is perceivable along a different direction extending from the location, and causing display of a visual representation of the different view on the display such that the different view is viewable by the user at a different focal depth is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to collect a channel information in conjunction with wireless communications; estimate at least one of a line of sight traffic and a non-line of sight traffic on the channel based on channel information; and select, with a processor, a frequency band, wherein the frequency band includes at least a respective frequency or frequency range and a frequency band or plurality of frequency bands and a bandwidth for the respective frequency or frequency range and time allocation for the frequency or frequency range. The selection is based on the estimated line of sight and non-line of sight traffic, wherein the respective frequency band comprises selecting at least one of a first frequency band or a second frequency band with the first and second frequency bands being different from one another.
Abstract:
Radio communications is performed within a mobile telecommunication network. Billing related information is obtained by radio-physical detection. Within a trusted execution environment, a challenge known by the mobile telecommunication network is obtained; billing related information is received; billing related information is attested; and the attested billing related information is caused to be sent to the mobile telecommunication network.
