20140038647 | Paging Control - A method and an apparatus for controlling paging for a plurality of devices capable of wireless communication are disclosed in the invention. The method includes the following steps: paging locations in frames are determined for at least one device of the plurality of devices and a paging type indication indicative of a group paging or a dedicated paging is communicated to the at least one device to control calculation of paging locations according to the group paging mode or the dedicated paging mode in a predetermined manner. The device receives the paging type indication and in response thereto calculates the paging locations in received frames according to the group paging mode or the dedicated paging mode. | 02-06-2014 |
20140079009 | Methods and Devices for Dynamic Allocation of Identifiers in Hybrid Cell Identifier Scenarios - The present invention proposes a method, including in a communication network area constituted by a plurality of transmission points configured for coordinated transmissions to at least one target, each transmission point being identified by an individual identifier, each transmission point being configured to transmit common reference signals on common channels and dedicated reference signals on dedicated channels to said at least one target device, assigning the respective individual identifier of each transmission point to the common reference signals on the common channels of the respective transmission point, and allocating, to the dedicated reference signals on the dedicated channels of respective plural transmission points, an identifier unrelated to the individual identifiers. Also, corresponding devices are addressed. | 03-20-2014 |
20140120916 | Handover of a Device with Coexisting Radios - Methods and apparatuses for controlling a handover of a device communicating via coexisting radios separated in time. It is determined whether to continue the communications via the coexisting radios during the handover and information is signaled to the device regarding communications via the coexisting radios based on the determination. The determination can include negotiations between a source and a target station. The source and/or the target station may determine whether to continue the communications via the coexisting radios during the handover, and selectively signaling information regarding communications during the handover via the coexisting radios based on the determination. The device, upon receiving signaling containing information whether to continue the communications via the coexisting radios during handover, processes the handover and selectively communicates via at least one of the coexisting radios during the handover based on the information. | 05-01-2014 |
20140192786 | DM RS Based LTE Downlink Physical Layer - It is provided an apparatus, including synchronizing means adapted to synchronize with a cell of a cellular communication system based on a synchronization signal and to obtain a cell identification of the cell; receiving means adapted to receive a symbol only on one or more subcarriers and subframes which carry at least one symbol of a physical broadcast channel; first obtaining means adapted to obtain a common demodulation reference symbol based on the cell identification and the received symbol; demodulating means adapted to demodulate a signal received on the physical broadcast channel based on the common demodulation reference symbol; user equipment means adapted to provide a user equipment functionality of the communication system. | 07-10-2014 |
20140308905 | Flexible Configuration of Channel Measurement - There are provided measures for flexible configuration of channel measurement, particularly in CoMP communication and/or CoMP-enabled heterogeneous network deployments. Such measures may exemplarily include acquiring one or more reference signal patterns for channel measurement, each reference signal pattern defining a predefined number of ports subject to channel measurement, configuring a channel measurement set for a terminal by selecting ports out of the acquired one or more reference signal patterns and combining the selected ports in at least two channel measurement patterns, and instructing channel measurements at the terminal based on the at least two channel measurement patterns in the configured channel measurement set. | 10-16-2014 |
20150098406 | PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL OPTIMIZATION - Communication systems, such as the long tem evolution (LTE) of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) may benefit from various optimizations, such as optimizations related to smart phone technology. More particularly, diverse data applications may benefit from enhancements such as physical uplink control channel optimization. According to certain embodiments, a method can include configuring, with radio resource control signaling, a physical uplink control channel resource to one or more devices. The method can also include indicating to each device of the one or more devices, which part of the resource to use. | 04-09-2015 |
20150215932 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING MUTING COORDINATION AND FOR TESTING OF COORDINATING COMMUNICATION - A method and apparatus can be configured to transmit a physical-resource-block muting request to a neighboring network entity. The method can also include transmitting at least one muting priority level for at least one physical-resource-block of the physical-resource-block muting request. | 07-30-2015 |
20150282202 | Scheduling Coordination - There is, for example, provided a method, including receiving a scheduling plan from at least one network node of at least one neighboring cell, wherein the each scheduling plan includes an indication of a planned radio resource utilization ratio by the neighboring cell in at least one frequency range during a coming time period; scheduling a user terminal with radio resources on a specific frequency range; and determining a modulation and coding scheme for the user terminal at least partly on the basis of the at least one indicated scheduling plan for the specific frequency range, wherein the modulation and coding scheme is to be applied in data transmission of the user terminal in a certain subframe within the coming time period. | 10-01-2015 |
