Abstract: A method for HSPA DL feedback signaling using UL LTE subframes is described. The method includes composing UL feedback signaling for individual ones of a plurality of received DL HSPA carriers, each carrier having an associated carrier index. The UL feedback signaling is composed in accordance with a mapping configured to distribute the UL feedback signaling over a plurality of UL LTE subframes based at least in part on the associated carrier indices. The method also includes transmitting the UL feedback signaling on the plurality of UL LTE subframes. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for prioritizing uplink carriers. A method may include determining a first pilot channel transmission power level for a first uplink carrier. The method may further include determining a second pilot channel transmission power level for a second uplink carrier. The method may additionally include prioritizing the first and second uplink carriers based at least in part upon the first and second pilot channel transmission power levels. Corresponding computer program products and apparatuses are also provided.

Abstract: A method includes enabling interoperability between different types of wireless communication systems operating with different types of air interfaces to provide downlink radio resource aggregation for a user equipment. Enabling includes establishing a first connection between a medium access control (MAC) protocol layer of a first wireless communication system and a physical layer of the first wireless communication system; establishing a second connection between the MAC protocol layer of the first wireless communication system and a MAC protocol layer of a second wireless communication system; using the first connection, performing wireless communications with the user equipment via one or more component carriers over a first air interface of the first wireless communication system; and communicating data over the second connection, the data used in wireless communications via one or more component carriers over a second air interface of the second wireless communication system.

Abstract: A method includes simultaneously receiving a first communication using a first radio access technology and a second communication using a second radio access technology, and using only the first radio access technology, transmitting first feedback information for the first communication and second feedback information for the second communication to a network device that performed the first communication. A method includes, using a first radio access technology, receiving first feedback information for a first communication that used the first radio access technology and second feedback information for a second communication that used a second radio access technology. The method also includes, using the first feedback information in association with a subsequent communication using the first radio access technology, and communicating the second feedback information to a network entity that performed the second communication. Program products and apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of this invention include a method, system and computer program to perform mobile node measurements. In a method there are steps of receiving from a location server at a mobile user node a request to perform inter-frequency reference signal time difference measurements; receiving from a serving access node a measurement gap configuration; performing the requested inter-frequency reference signal time difference measurements during the assigned measurement gaps; and reporting the results of the inter-frequency reference signal time difference measurements to the location server.
