Abstract:
A method of random access in wireless communications that includes transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message, receiving an RRC connection setup message, and transmitting a modified RRC connection setup complete message that does not include at least a portion of a user equipment (UE) capability.
Abstract:
Interactions between radio access network (RAN) -based and legacy wireless local area network (WLAN) mobility is described in which a multi-mode mobile device receives a management indication from a wide area wireless network (WW AN) to manage connectivity with the WLAN, such as in discovery, association, or specific traffic offload for the WLAN. The mobile device obtains a status of its internal WLAN radio and determines whether to process the management indication based on the status. Data offloading is also described in which the mobile device receives an indication from the WW AN to offload data to the WLAN associated with the mobile device. In response, the mobile device suspends application of a current offload policy, which had been received from the core network, based on the indication and transmits its data according to the indication.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for improved data rates in a wireless communications environment, wherein a user equipment (UE) may receive and transmit signals from a plurality of network entities (NodeBs), which are controlled by separate radio network controllers (RNCs). For example, the disclosure presents a method of wireless communication in a multiflow environment, which includes establishing a first flow between a serving radio network controller (S-RNC) and a first network entity, wherein the S-RNC controls the first network entity. The method also includes establishing a second flow between the S-RNC and a second network entity, which is controlled by a drift radio network controller (D-RNC). Furthermore, the method includes transmitting data to the UE via both the first flow and the second flow.
Abstract:
A method operable at a user equipment configured for wireless communication over a dual-frequency, dual-cell network is disclosed includes a primary carrier and a secondary carrier. The method includes maintaining an active set corresponding to the primary carrier; maintaining a virtual active set corresponding to the secondary carrier; and transmitting a control signal including a virtual mobility event corresponding to a change in the virtual active set. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a user equipment, an RNC, or an application operable in a wireless communications network and methods in which an apparatus for wireless communication is configured to transfer data for a user equipment via a first user plane connection in a first radio access network. If the data transferred via the first user plane connection satisfies a trigger condition, the apparatus is configured to initiate a handover procedure of transferring the user equipment to a second user plane connection in a second radio access network.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are disclosed for jointly selecting precoding matrices for a plurality of received transmissions, such as those that might be received from a primary serving cell and a secondary serving cell in a multi-flow radio access network wherein each of the serving cells is configured to provide a MIMO transmission. Here, by jointly selecting the precoding matrices, interference from each of the downlink transmissions upon the other transmission can be reduced, thus improving overall performance at the receiving entity.
Abstract:
Initiating and operating a high speed dedicated physical control channel, HS-DPCCH, to report a current channel quality indicator, CQI. A user equipment, UE, may receive a high speed sharedcontrol channel, HS-SCCH, order from a Node B triggering a feedback response (i.e. a feedback regarding CQI and/or ACK/NACK on the HS-DPCCH channel). The UE may perform a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure in response to receiving the order, and may also initiate a collision resolution procedure. The user equipment may transmit a current channel quality indicator (CQI) of the user equipment on a high speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH) prior (before, beforehand) to achieving collision resolution (i.e. a result from the collision resolution procedure).
Abstract:
Wireless user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system may operate in a state, for example, the CELL_FACH state in UMTS, that does not allow for soft handoff from one cell to another. This inability to engage in soft handover may lead to intercell interference at a non-serving cell when the UE transmits on its uplink in close proximity to the non-serving cell. Therefore, provided in the present disclosure is method of wireless communication, which includes receiving a neighbor cell identification set indicating one or more neighbor cells, receiving a relative grant channel resource index corresponding to a relative grant channel shared by at least one of the one or more neighbor cells, detecting intercell interference associated with a user equipment (UE) in the one or more neighbor cells, and transmitting a non-serving relative grant message to the UE on the relative grant channel.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a plurality of uplink carriers are utilized in a cellular communications system. In an aspect of the disclosure, a wireless terminal configured for use in a cellular network transmits an uplink with a plurality of uplink carriers including an anchor carrier and a secondary carrier, and receives a downlink with a plurality of downlink carriers. Here, the wireless terminal provides feedback information, such as a channel quality indicator and an acknowledgment, corresponding to the plurality of downlink carriers, on an uplink channel on each of respective carriers in a subset of the plurality of uplink carriers.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing frequent secondary carrier measurement reports in multicarrier wireless communications. Secondary carrier measurement reports can be provided based on anchor carrier measurement reports. When an event or request to generate an anchor carrier measurement report is received, the anchor carrier measurement report can be generated along with a secondary carrier measurement report. In this regard, access points can receive the carrier measurement reports and determine mobility for a wireless device based on more than one carrier.
