Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to devices for coordinating resource usage. A scheduled device receives a downlink control information (DCI) grant from a scheduling device, the DCI grant identifying scheduled resources for communicating data. The scheduled device decides whether the DCI grant is acceptable for communicating the data and sends an acknowledgement to the scheduling device based on the decision and information associated with the DCI grant. The scheduled device communicates the data via the scheduled resources when the DCI grant is decided to be acceptable. A scheduling device transmits the DCI grant to the scheduled device and receives the acknowledgement from the scheduled device based on the information associated with the DCI grant. The acknowledgement indicates whether the DCI grant is acceptable for communicating the data. The scheduling device communicates the data via scheduled resources identified in the DCI grant when the DCI grant is indicated to be acceptable.

The modified subframe structure includes a first portion with one or more blank symbols over which a network node can measure monitor to determine whether the subframe is used as a downlink (or uplink) subframe by a neighboring network node. The modified subframe structure can also include a second portion of symbols for communicating control information or data in the subframe, which can be based on determining whether the subframe is used as a downlink (or uplink) subframe by the neighboring network node. This can lessen the impact of possible interference caused by the network nodes dynamically switching time division duplexing (TDD) subframe configurations by enabling network nodes to determine when a neighboring node is transmitting in a subframe, and accordingly avoiding transmitting in the subframe.

Abstract: Certain features relate to unequal distribution of transmitters and receivers in a distributed antenna system (DAS). Remote units in the DAS can be configured as transmitting remote units, receiving remote units, or remote transceiver units that can transmit and receive wireless signals. In some configurations, the DAS can be configured with a greater number of transmitting remote units than receiving remote units. In other configurations, the DAS can be configured with a greater number of receiving remote units. In some aspects, unequal distribution of transmitters and receivers can be obtained by allocation of transmission frequencies and receiver frequencies in the DAS.

Abstract: A method of supporting reception of standalone SERVICE ACCEPT message is proposed. In one embodiment, a new timer is started when the UE determines successful completion of the service request procedure and has not received SERVICE ACCEPT during the procedure. In an alternative embodiment, an existing timer T3417 or T3417ext can be used to define the allowed time window for the reception of SERVICE ACCEPT. While the timer is running, the UE can treat the SERVICE ACCEPT message as successfully received and the message does not cause protocol error.

Abstract: A controller of a network, including routers to forward flows of packets originated at senders to receivers along distinct network paths each including multiple links, such that the flows merge at a common link that imposes a traffic bottleneck on the flows, receives from one or more of the routers router reports that each indicate an aggregate packet loss that represents an aggregate of packet losses experienced by each of the flows at the common link. The controller sends to the senders aggregate loss reports each including the aggregate packet loss so that the senders have common packet loss information for the common link on which to base decisions as to whether to switch from delay-based to loss-based congestion control modes when implementing dual-mode congestion control of the flows. In lieu of the controller, another example employs in-band router messages populated with packet losses by the routers the messages traverse.

The uplink control structures enable mobile terminals to communicate with corresponding base stations to perform various functions including obtaining initial system access, submitting a bandwidth request, triggering a continuation of negotiated service, or providing a proposed allocation re-configuration header. A dedicated random access channel is provided to communicatively couple the base station and the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can select a random access signaling identification. A resource request is received at the base station to uplink resource information from the mobile terminal and an initial access information request is received from the mobile terminal to configure the base station connection.
