Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for discovering User Equipment's over side link in device to device (D2D) communication. The present invention discloses new approaches for discovery and communication scheduling enabling optimum system performance with DRX alignment and meeting varied QoS targets. The present invention further addresses congestion handling during system overload situations. Further, the present invention discloses quality of service (QoS) scheduling methods that consider DRX function achieve substantial gains over existing methods.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) operation, the method comprises of receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a common notification configuration message for a Multi-Cast Control Channel (MCCH) and System Information (SI) change from a network, identifying one or more occasions where MCCH or SI change notification is to be scheduled, configuring, by the UE, a DRX sleep and wake up occasions for the UE based on the scheduling of the MCCH and the SI change notification period, monitoring for MCCH change or SI change notification on Physical Downlink Control Channel PDCCH Format 1C scrambled with M-RNTI on wakeup occasion, determining the change notification based on DCI bits pertaining to SI and/or MCCH of one or more MBMS area, and decoding indicated SI and/or MCCH on PDSCH on CAS sub-frames and/or PMCH channel of respective areas.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) counting operation is described herein. A method for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) counting operation is disclosed. In an embodiment of the present application, the method comprises of receiving, by an user equipment (UE), an MBMS counting request from a wireless communication network; sending, by the UE, an MBMS counting response on a dedicated path to the network, if the UE is in connected mode; and triggering, by the UE, a random access channel (RACH) procedure for sending the MBMS counting response, if the UE is in idle mode.

Abstract: A method of providing seamless reception of multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) in a user equipment (UE) having multiple radio frequency (RF) terminals is provided. The method includes receiving MBMS from a primary cell (P-Cell) through a first RF terminal in the UE, receiving a command through the first RF terminal while receiving the MBMS configuring the MBMS on a second RF terminal and receiving the MBMS from a non-primary cell wherein the non-primary cell includes at least one of a secondary cell and a non-serving cell.
