Abstract: A client device and a host device may create a local connection for providing wide area network access, such as Internet access, to the client device. In some embodiments, the client device may have limited network capabilities and may not be able to access the Internet without the host device. The client device may provide its speed and direction in a message to potential host devices. A host device may calculate a suitability metric, based on the speed and direction of the client as well as connection properties of the networks, which indicates an ability for the host device to connect the client device to the Internet. The host device may provide the suitablity metric within a connection reqeust to the client device. Based on the suitabiltiy metric and/or other factors, the client device and the host device may establish the local connection.

Abstract: For paging user devices that are link budget limited (LBL), a base station transmits a special ID that is used by said devices to identify a paging frame and/or a paging occasion. When transmitting a paging message for an LBL device, the base station may use: (a) larger aggregation and larger CFI (than conventionally allowed) and (b) a larger number of resource blocks (than conventionally allowed) for paging payload. If paging messages for LBL devices saturate the paging frame capacity, the base station may allocate a plurality of special IDs. If paging messages for LBL devices and/or other data transfers saturate network capacity, at least a subset of the LBL devices may be directed to enter a connected-state discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, wherein those devices will remain in connected mode and periodically check for resource allocations. Paging payload information may be repeatedly transmitted in successive subframes, to support soft combining.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for transmitting and receiving control information in the common search space on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH). According to some embodiments, a cellular base station may allocate some resource blocks of a subframe as the EPDCCH. The cellular base station may provide control information on a common search space in the EPDCCH for wireless user equipment (UE) devices in the cell provided by the cellular base station during a subframe. A UE device may monitor the EPDCCH to determine whether any indication on the common search space decodable by the UE device is contained in the EPDCCH, and may decode such information if present.

Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed for improved transmission of uplink control information by a user equipment (UE) that is link budget limited. In one embodiment, the UE transmits a message to the base station indicating that the UE is link budget limited. In response to the message, the base station sends an uplink grant to the UE, enabling the UE to transmit uplink control information on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) instead of on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). In another embodiment, the base station sends an uplink grant to a link-budget-limited UE each time downlink traffic is transmitted to the UE, enabling the UE to send ACK/NACK feedback on the PUSCH instead of the PUCCH. In another embodiment, the UE transmits a scheduling request (SR) to the base station as part of a random access procedure, enabling the SR to be transmitted on the PUSCH instead of the PUCCH.

Abstract: Enhanced random access procedures for link-budget-limited user equipment (UE) devices are disclosed. A user equipment device may transmit a first message containing a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). The PRACH contains instances of a Zadoff-Chu sequence, and may be transmitted repeatedly as part of a single random attempt, to facilitate correlation data combining at the base station. The available Zadoff-Chu sequences may be partitioned among a plurality of sets, each set being associated with a respective Doppler shift range (or frequency hop pattern or time repetition pattern). A UE device may signal Doppler shift (or other information) to the base station by selection of one of the sets. The first PRACH transmission and the following PRACH transmission may occur in consecutive subframes. A UE device may select from a special set of Zadoff-Chu sequences (different from a conventional set of sequences), to signal its status as a link-budget-limited device.

Abstract translation: 公开了针对链路限制用户设备（UE）设备的增强的随机接入过程。 用户设备设备可以发送包含物理随机接入信道（PRACH）的第一消息。 PRACH包含Zadoff-Chu序列的实例，并且可以作为单个随机尝试的一部分被重复发送，以便于在基站处的相关数据组合。 可用的Zadoff-Chu序列可以在多个集合之间分割，每个集合与相应的多普勒频移范围（或频率跳跃模式或时间重复模式）相关联。 UE设备可以通过选择其中一个集合来向基站发送多普勒频移（或其他信息）信号。 第一PRACH传输和随后的PRACH传输可以在连续的子帧中发生。 UE设备可以从Zadoff-Chu序列的特定集合中选择（与传统的序列集不同），以将其作为链路预算受限设备的状态进行发信号。

Abstract: Mechanisms for operating a wireless user equipment device, to determine the state of data scheduling activity. Such activity state (and other information such as measurements of signal interference and/or channel condition) may be used to dynamically control the selection of a high-power high-performance receiver vs. a low-power basic receiver. A first mechanism involves transitioning to a high activity state and starting a timer upon each occurrence of scheduled subframe. A transition to the low activity state occurs whenever the timer expires. A second mechanism involves filtering a sequence of binary-valued indicators corresponding respectively to a sequence of time intervals. Each indicator indicates whether a subframe is scheduled during the corresponding time interval. The filter output is compared to a threshold to determine high/low activity state. The temporal width of the filter impulse response may be increased to support fast initial response without harming the accuracy of activity-state determination in the steady state.
