Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes communicating using a first radio based on a first radio technology; configuring a second radio based on a second radio technology different from the first radio technology to assist the first radio with a first-radio operation; and performing at least a portion of the first-radio operation at the second radio. The first-radio operation includes at least one of multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) page monitoring and page/data processing, higher order diversity data acquisition and processing, interference measurement and management, E-UTRAN cell global identifier (ECGI) determination and reporting, a reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement, beacon detection for small cell identification, a minimization of drive test (MDT) measurement, and a speed estimation measurement. The first radio technology is a wireless wide area network (WWAN) technology and the second radio technology is a wireless local area network (WLAN) technology.
Abstract:
Techniques for aggregating wireless communications are provided. These techniques include a method for aggregating wireless communications traffic in a femtocell. The method includes receiving at a femtocell a stream of data packets for a mobile device from a wireless router, selecting a transmission mode for sending data packets of the stream of data packets from the femtocell to the mobile device. The first transmission mode includes transmitting the data packets from the stream via a Long Term Evolution (LTE) interface of the femtocell. The second transmission mode includes transmitting the data packets from the stream via a WiFi interface of the wireless router. The third transmission mode includes transmitting a first portion of the data packets to the mobile device via the LTE interface and routing a second portion of the data packets to the wireless router for transmission to the mobile device via the WiFi interface.
