Abstract:
Embodiments are described herein for selective joinder of wireless cells by machine-type communication (“MTC”) user equipment (“UE”). An MTC UE may detect a plurality of wireless cells, each provided by an evolved Node B (“eNB”). The MTC UE may detect eNB categories associated with individual wireless cells of the plurality of wireless cells, and may identily one or more wireless cells of the plurality of detected wireless cells on which MTC traffic is permitted based on the associated eNB categories. The MTC UE may selectively join a wireless cell of the one or more identified wireless cells based on a cell selection criterion. Additionally, an eNB may provide a wireless cell and provide, to an MTC UE, an MTC policy that identifies a circumstance under which the eNB will permit MTC traffic. The eNB may be configured to selectively serve the MTC UE based on the MTC policy.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides apparatus and methods for improved signaling of User Equipment (UE) assistance information in a wireless network. The UE device may include a processing circuit configured to generate an assistance information message including a power preference indicator (PPI) and mobility state information (MSI), the PPI and the MSI associated with the UE; a signal generation module configured to generate a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer Control Element (CE) signal, the MAC CE signal including the assistance information message; and a transmitter circuit configured to transmit the MAC CE signal to an evolved Node B (eNB) of a wireless network associated with the UE, the MAC CE signal transmitted on an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH). The assistance information message may also be generated as a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message and transmitted on an uplink dedicated control channel (UL-DCCH).
Abstract:
The equipment (100) has a processing circuit for detecting a set of wireless cells (102), where each of the wireless cells is provided by an evolved node B (108). A set of categories of the evolved node B is associated with individual wireless cells. The set of wireless cells on which traffic is authorized on the basis of a category associated with the evolved node B is detected. One of the wireless cells is selectively joined and identified on the basis of selection criteria of the wireless cell.
Abstract:
The apparatus (302) has a receiving circuit system (322) to receive data representative of radio link failure reports having information relating to disconnection of user equipment (314) of Evolved universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). Coverage analysis circuit system (324) identifies a hole in a network coverage area partially based on one of the reports. A corrective action circuit system (326) executes an automated action of coverage optimization and capacity to reconfigure resources of a network cell based on the hole. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for identifying a coverage hole (2) a method for adjusting coverage executable by a network management apparatus (3) an evolved node associated with E-UTRAN.
Abstract:
The method (600) involves receiving a configuration of discontinuous reception (610) that is levelled with a multi-radio wireless device e.g. cell phone, from an evolved node B. The wireless device is arranged with a set of radio operated transmitter-receivers. The configuration of discontinuous reception is applied (620) to one of the set of radio operated transmitter-receivers. A shift period is selected (630) among a cycle of 2 milliseconds (ms), 5ms, and 8ms for long discontinuous reception cycle. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a multi-radio wireless device (2) a computer readable medium comprising instructions for performing an interference reduction method.
Abstract:
Des modes de réalisation sont décrits ici pour la jonction sélective de cellules sans fil par un équipement utilisateur (« UE ») à communication de type machine (« MTC »). Un UE MTC peut détecter une pluralité de cellules sans fil, chacune fournie par un noeud B évolué (« eNB »). L'UE MTC peut détecter des catégories d'eNB associées à des cellules sans fil individuelles de la pluralité de cellules sans fil, et peut identifier une ou plusieurs cellules sans fil de la pluralité de cellules sans fil détectées sur lesquelles un trafic MTC est autorisé sur la base des catégories d'eNB associées. L'UE MTC peut joindre sélectivement une cellule sans fil de la ou des cellules sans fil identifiées sur la base d'un critère de sélection de cellule. De plus, un eNB peut fournir une cellule sans fil et fournir, à un UE MTC, une politique MTC qui identifie une circonstance dans laquelle l'eNB autorisera un trafic MTC. L'eNB peut également être configuré pour desservir sélectivement l'UE MTC sur la base de la politique MTC.
