Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product that provides a two-index system for clusters of small cells in a wireless network. A first index is employed for access to and identification of a serving cell within a cluster of small cells. A second index indicates a group of small cells for determining mobility control. The first index may be derived from primary/secondary synchronization signals, or from frequency/time division multiplex signal position. The second index may be indicated in system/master information block signals or predefined as a plurality of small cells identified by the first index for each cell. Determination of physical cell identification is aided by providing a plurality of primary/secondary synchronization (PSS/SSS) signal alternating configurations with indicator, wherein a maximum number of configurations is predefined. Signaling the PSS/SSS configurations by one of broadcast or dedicated signaling, said signaling indicating whether each configuration is one of periodic or aperiodic alternation.

Abstract: The present application relates generally to use of radio resources in a radio access network (RAN) and, in more specific, Full-Duplex (FD) transmission on the same carrier. Due to the mobility of the UEs or the non-optimal grouping, two UEs belonging to different groups may be close to each other while performing transmission and cause serious transmission interferences to 5 each other. This is one of the problems which a method in accordance with the invention aims to solve. When the performing the method a RAN triggers a UE to measure 601 first interferences originated from a first group of UEs. Then the RAN triggers the same UE to measure 602 second interferences originated from a second group of the UEs. Finally, the RAN places 603 the UE into the first group, if the first interferences are higher than the second interferences. The both 10 groups of the UEs are composed of such user equipments which share a group-specific transmission pattern. Uplink and downlink resources of the RAN are scheduled according to a time-division to the UEs, so that simultaneous transmissions are allowed only for such user equipments that belong to different groups. Advantages of the invention are the following: 1) simultaneous transmission and reception is supported in a RAN and in a UE which is either a FD 15 UE or a HD UE, 2) different kinds of interferences are efficiently reduced, and 3) the interferences are measured in a way that saves power.

Abstract translation: 本申请一般涉及无线电接入网络（RAN）中的无线电资源的使用，并且更具体地涉及同一载波上的全双工（FD）传输。 由于UE的移动性或非最佳分组，属于不同组的两个UE在执行传输时可能彼此靠近，并导致彼此之间的严重传输干扰。 这是根据本发明的方法旨在解决的问题之一。 当执行该方法时，RAN触发UE测量从第一组UE发起的601个第一干扰。 然后，RAN触发相同的UE来测量源自第二组UE的602个第二干扰。 最后，如果第一干扰高于第二干扰，RAN将UE置于第一组中。 这两个UE组都由具有组特定传输模式的这种用户设备组成。 根据对UE的时分，调度RAN的上行链路和下行链路资源，使得仅对属于不同组的用户设备允许同时传输。 本发明的优点如下：1）在RAN和作为FD 15 UE或HD UE的UE中支持同时发送和接收，2）有效地减少不同种类的干扰，3）干扰 以节省电力的方式进行测量。

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to manage handover procedures in a dual connection context. In the context of a method, a macro access point (MAP) may initiate a handover between a source and destination local area access point (LAAP) by causing a handover request to be transmitted to the destination LAAP. The method may further involve causing a handover command to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE), causing a data transfer inform message to be transmitted to the source LAAP, and receiving a UE context release message from the destination LAAP. In the context of another method, a LAAP may initiate a handover. The method may involve receiving a dual connection transfer request message from a source LAAP, receiving a dual connection transfer request acknowledge message from a destination LAAP and receiving a Path Switch Successful indication from a Mobility Management Entity.
