    Abstract: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) band communication is a very promising technology for 5G small cells. In practice, such a new system will coexist with legacy or evolved microwave band systems, such as E-UTRAN LTE macro-cell cellular systems, for a long time to come. Considering the typical scenarios where a macro cell offers umbrella coverage for clusters of small cells, several control plane (C-plane) architectural choices of macro-assisted 5G mmWave systems from both UE and network's perspectives are evaluated. Termed macro-assisted mmWave, an effective end-to-end integration of the futuristic mmWave small cells and microwave macro cells shall promise the benefits of both yet avoid individual limitations. The proposed On-demand Reconfiguration C-Place Architecture (ORCA) for Macro-assisted Millimeter Wave (mmWave) small cells is designed to meet 5G expectations of dense deployment of small cells and UEs and beamformed intermittent Gbps links.

    Abstract: Methods for enhanced UE data transmission for power consumption optimization are disclosed. A UE detects UE conditions and determines a UE traffic characteristic. The UE performs power consumption optimization based on the traffic characteristic. In one novel aspect, based on the UE condition, the UE determines that the traffic characteristic is low priority traffic or mobile originated only traffic. In one embodiment, the UE aligns prescheduled low priority data transmission with mobility management messages, or group multiple low priority prescheduled data transmission together. In another embodiment, the UE reduces NAS retry process upon detecting application triggered low priority traffic. In another embodiment, the UE turns off RF module until next data transmission for MO only traffic. In another novel aspect, the UE detects and sends UE conditions to the network. The network determines a UE traffic characteristic and performs power consumption optimization accordingly.

    Abstract: A method of supporting group communication over LTE MBMS is provided. A UE first establishes a unicast Evolved Packet Service (EPS) bearer in an LTE network for group communication. The UE belongs to a communication group having a communication group ID. The UE receives access information from the network for monitoring downlink (DL) multicast traffic of the DL group communication based on a multicast decision. The UE is then ready for monitoring a multicast Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) bearer for receiving the DL multicast traffic. In one embodiment, The UE requests to switch the DL multicast traffic from the multicast MBMS bearer to the unicast EPS bearer upon detecting that the UE is approaching an MBMS coverage boundary. In another embodiment, the UE transmits an indication of preferred target cells to the network before performing a handover and thereby maintaining multicast service continuity of the group communication.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种通过LTE MBMS支持群组通信的方法。 UE首先在用于组通信的LTE网络中建立单播演进分组业务(EPS)承载。 UE属于具有通信组ID的通信组。 UE从网络接收基于多播决定的DL组通信的下行链路(DL)组播流量的接入信息。 然后,UE准备监视用于接收DL多播业务的组播多媒体广播多播服务(MBMS)承载。 在一个实施例中,当UE正在接近MBMS覆盖边界时,UE请求将DL组播业务从组播MBMS承载切换到单播EPS承载。 在另一个实施例中,UE在执行切换之前向网络发送优选目标小区的指示,从而保持组通信的多播服务连续性。
