Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for facilitating mobility between flexible bandwidth systems and other bandwidth systems are provided. These tools and techniques that provide mobility between different bandwidth systems may facilitate supporting circuit-switched (CS) services, such as CS voice services. Some embodiments provide for determining flexible bandwidth capable devices, such as user equipment. Some embodiments involve core network redirection where a core network may direct the handling of circuit-switched services when a flexible bandwidth system does not support the CS services. Some examples provide for radio access network determined handling of CS services when a flexible bandwidth system may not support the CS services. Some embodiments provide for transitioning to a flexible bandwidth system. Some embodiments provide for transitioning from flexible bandwidth systems to non-flexible bandwidth systems that have no support for some or all CS services, other flexible bandwidth systems, and/or systems that natively support CS voice services.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize a flexible bandwidth carrier are provided. Some embodiments include determining and transmitting assistance information to one or more user equipment (UEs) to facilitate mobility management with respect to the flexible bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments include signaling flexible bandwidth carrier information to UEs including, but not limited to: UE-centric approaches, network-centric approaches, network-centric approaches with PLMN, SIB creation approaches, and/or application layer approaches. A flexible bandwidth carrier may involve a wireless communications system that may utilize portions of spectrum that may not fit a normal bandwidth. A flexible bandwidth carrier may be generated with respect to a normal bandwidth carrier through dilating, or scaling down, the time or the chip rate of the flexible bandwidth carrier with respect to the normal bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments may expand a bandwidth for a flexible bandwidth carrier.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize flexible bandwidth carriers are provided. Some embodiments include intra-frequency and/or inter-frequency set management based on the value of bandwidth scaling factors for flexible bandwidth carriers to facilitate the mobility management. For example, one or more cells of a wireless communications system may be identified. A respective bandwidth scaling factor associate with each respective identified cell may be identified. A user equipment may be configured determine multiple sets. Each respective set may be associated with one of the respective bandwidth scaling factors. The user equipment may be configured to associate each respective identified cell with one of the respective sets based on their respective associated bandwidth scaling factors.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are provided for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize a flexible bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments include approaches for determining bandwidth information, such as one or more bandwidth scaling factors N and/or flexible bandwidths, at a user equipment (UE), where the bandwidth information may not be signaled to the UE. Embodiments for determining bandwidth information include: random ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, delay ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, storing bandwidth scaling factor value in UE Neighbor Record approaches, spectrum measurement approaches, spectrum calculation approaches, and/or a priori approaches. Flexible bandwidth carrier systems may utilize spectrum portions that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform. Flexible bandwidth carrier systems may be generated through dilating, or scaling down, time, frame lengths, bandwidth, or the chip rate of the flexible bandwidth carrier systems with respect to a normal bandwidth carrier system.
