Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for opportunistic small cell triggering. The methods and apparatus include determining, by a user equipment (UE) connected to a cell, a change of location of the UE. Further, the methods and apparatus include requesting small cell information from a database based at least in part on the change of location of the UE. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include attempting to detect a small cell based on the small cell information. Additionally, the methods and apparatus include transmitting a message to turn on the small cell when no the small cell is not detected.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for power control of uplink transmissions by a user equipment in a way that can reduce interference to neighbor cells. Various aspects of the disclosure decouple the power control for uplink data transmissions from the power control for uplink for a control channel transmissions. For example, one type of power control command may be utilized to control the power the UE utilizes to transmit data channels such as the DPDCH and/or the E-DCH (e.g., the E-DPDCH and the E-DPCCH). Further, another type of power control command may be utilized to control the power the UE utilizes to transmit control channels such as the HS-DPCCH. In this way, the uplink data channels, which can cause substantial interference to neighbor cells, can be power controlled by those neighbor cells to reduce that interference. Moreover, the control channel corresponding to the downlink data transmissions can be controlled by the downlink serving cell, thus ensuring reliable feedback corresponding to those downlink transmissions.

Various embodiments for conducting proxy teaching for learning devices within a decentralized system, including an embodiment method with operations for obtaining, by a teacher signaling device, objectives data related to activities of one or more of the learning devices, generating, by the teacher signaling device, teaching routines based on the obtained objectives data, and broadcasting, by the teacher signaling device, teaching signals configured to teach one or more of the learning devices based on the generated teaching routines. Other embodiments may obtain objectives data by requesting reflex information from the learning devices or intercepting event report messages transmitted by the learning devices. Other embodiments may include broadcasting discovery signals to identify nearby learning devices and modifying teaching routines when objectives of the generated teaching routines cannot be achieved. Other embodiments may include transmitting an authorization request to a user device to determine whether to broadcast teaching signals.
Abstract:
The described aspects include a user equipment (UE) apparatus and corresponding method of performing a High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) transmission. The aspects include determining availability of information for transmission while the UE is in a Cell_FACH state and an idle mode. Further, aspects include generating a message including a scheduling information (SI) indicator during a collision resolution phase of an uplink procedure when SI data is allowed to be transmitted during the collision resolution phase, wherein the SI indicator identifies whether the SI data is included in a Medium Access Control-i (MAC-i) Packet Data Unit (PDU). Additionally, the aspects include transmitting the message, destined for a network component, during the collision resolution phase. The described aspects also include a corresponding network component and method for receiving the message and unambiguously determining presence of SI data in the MAC-i PDU.
Abstract:
Aspects related to pre-configuring for a serving cell change to neighbor cells are described. In one example, a user equipment (UE) may camp on a first cell. The UE may receive at least one communication including target cell pre-configuration information for one or more neighbor cells eligible for pre-configuration. The UE may determine that the first cell is no longer providing adequate service and identify a target cell, which may be one of the one or more neighbor cells, but is not part of an active set for the UE. The UE may transmit a message (e.g., Event 1d) requesting a serving cell change to the target cell. The UE may configure to receive service from the target cell based on the pre-configuration information associated with the target cell. The UE may receive an indication to perform the serving cell change and perform the serving cell change.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method for a wireless device to select a network. The wireless device receives a request from a user to access a network site. The wireless device then selects a network based upon a predefined weighted criteria setting that was previously selected by the user.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods of mobility management include identifying a target cell as an active set candidate. The apparatus and methods further include determining that a trigger adjustment condition exists, wherein the trigger adjustment condition triggers an adjustment of a timing value that indicates a sending time of a target cell add message to a serving cell. Moreover, the apparatus and methods include sending the target cell add message including the target cell to the serving cell based on determining that the trigger adjustment condition exists.
Abstract:
A small base node such as a Home Base Node (HNB), or femto cell, may reduce its transmit power in order to prevent co-channel or adjacent channel interference, or to limit its coverage area. Once the power is set, the HNB signal to a served Home User Equipment (HUE) its transmit Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) transmit power for accurate path loss estimation. When this power is outside of the permissible range, the HNB adjusts other parameters (such as Random Access Channel (RACH) constant value) to compensate for the error in signaled CPICH power, and thus compensate in that process the error in determining path loss. Similarly, if the uplink sensitivity is adjusted, to prevent interference, parameters would also be adjusted and signaled to the HUE to reflect the link imbalance.
