Abstract:
The invention relates to methods performed by a processor of a vehicle control unit for managing a driving condition anomaly. The vehicle may receive a first driving condition based on data from a first vehicle sensor, receive a second driving condition based on data from another data source, determine a driving condition anomaly based on the first driving condition and the second driving condition, send a request for information to a driving condition database remote from the vehicle, receive the requested information from the driving condition database, and resolve the driving condition anomaly based on the requested information from the driving condition database.
Abstract:
Aspects for reducing interference between networks are provided, in particular in the context of mobile communications LAA-LTE use of unlicensed spectrum in use by WiFi devices. A signal transmitted by multiple devices in a first network over a communications medium using the unlicensed frequency spectrum is decoded to determine one or more parameters of a packet in the signal, in particular type of the packet and trasnmitter identity. A level of utilization of the communications medium by the multiple devices in the first network is estimated based at least in part on a signal strength of the signal and the one or more parameters. A variable period of time for communicating in a second network over the communications medium using the unlicensed frequency spectrum is then adjusted based on the estimated level of utilization of the communications medium by the first network. In addition, a number of active transmitters over the communications medium can be determined based on identifying the transmitting source and adjusting the time for communicating in the second network can be further based on the number of active transmitters.
Abstract:
Described herein are techniques for efficient LTE operation in the unlicensed band. For example, the technique may involve initiating, at the wireless device, a signal measurement of an unlicensed communication band device. The technique may also involve sending, to an access point configured for operation in the unlicensed communication band, a measurement report including the signal measurement of the unlicensed communication band device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for Discontinuous Reception (DRX)-aware Carrier Sense Adaptive Transmission (CSAT) communication in shared spectrum are disclosed. An access point, for example, may receive signals via a medium in accordance with a first RAT, and identify utilization of the medium associated with the first RAT based on the received signals. Based on the identified utilization of the medium, operation of a second RAT may be cycled between activated and deactivated periods of transmission over the medium in accordance with a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) communication pattern. A Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) may be transmitted to an access terminal associated with the second RAT to activate or deactivate the access terminal in accordance with the TDM communication pattern. The timing of the MAC CE transmission may be based on the TDM communication pattern and a DRX pattern associated with the access terminal.

Techniques for managing operation on a communication medium shared between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) are disclosed. The management may comprise, for example, monitoring the medium for first RAT signaling in accordance with a first RAT; determining a utilization metric associated with utilization of the medium by the first RAT signaling; cycling operation in accordance with a second RAT between activated periods and deactivated periods of communication over the medium in accordance with a Time Division Multiple Access (TDM) communication pattern based on the utilization metric; and periodically disabling the cycling to provide an AOS period of activated communication over the medium for operation in accordance with the second RAT, with the AOS period being longer than an individual activated period of the TDM communication pattern. The management may also comprise, for example, techniques for enabling / disabling monitoring by an access terminal in accordance with the TDM communication pattern.

Described herein are techniques for reducing interference to non-cellular communications on an unlicensed band by a network entity sending/receiving cellular communications on the unlicensed band. For example, the technique may involve operating in a first mode using a first radio access technology (RAT1), and collecting interference measurements for interference to or from at least one mobile device while in the first mode. The technique may also involve switching to a second mode and using a second radio access technology (RAT2), and using the interference measurements from the first mode to minimize interference caused or experienced by the network entity in the second mode.
Abstract:
Described herein are techniques for reducing interference to non-cellular communications on an unlicensed band by a network entity sending/receiving cellular communications on the unlicensed band. For example, the technique may involve accessing a list of channels for cellular communication on the unlicensed band, the list having the channels in an order of priority for reducing interference to non-cellular communication on the unlicensed band. The technique may involve determining an interference criteria for a received signal, the interference criteria being based at in part on at least one of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) or a duty cycle of the received signal. The technique may involve going through, in the order of priority, each channel in the list to identify a first channel that satisfies the interference criteria.

The interference management may be achieved by monitoring, by the Wi-Fi device, signaling energy on a communication channel in a frequency band associated with the Wi-Fi device, comparing the monitored signal energy with a known waveform signature corresponding to Long Term Evolution (LTE) operation, and identifying a presence of an LTE interferer on the communication channel in the frequency band associated with the Wi-Fi device based on the comparison.

Systems and methods for co-existence in unlicensed spectrum are disclosed. In one aspect, mitigating interference between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) sharing operating spectrum in an unlicensed band of radio frequencies may comprise, for example, determining an inter-RAT interference metric associated with base station narrowband signaling on the unlicensed band and modifying a transmission parameter relating to a transmission power or signaling scheme for narrowband signaling based on the determined inter-RAT interference metric. In accordance with the modified transmission parameter, a narrowband signal may be transmitted on the unlicensed band.
