Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for in-device coexistence interference detection. In one embodiment, the method comprises equipping a UE (user equipment) with a first radio based on LTE radio technology or LTE-advanced radio technology and a second radio based on another radio technology. The method also comprises activating the first radio and the second radio in the UE. Furthermore, the method comprises determining a presence of in-device coexistence interference from the second radio based on a transport block error rate (TBER) in the LTE radio technology or LTE-advanced radio technology.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coexistence interference avoidance in a user equipment (UE) having a first radio with an LTE/LTE-Advanced radio technology and a second radio based on another radio technology includes initiating a time division multiplexing (TDM) solution in the UE on a serving cell between the first and second radios, the TDM solution defining scheduling periods and unscheduled periods. In one embodiment the UE increments the PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER by 1 for each random access preamble transmission reattempt during the random access procedure, and the UE considers an unscheduled period of the TDM solution when determining the next available Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) subframe for preamble transmission.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed to avoid in-device coexistence interference in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving at a user equipment (UE) a MBMS service via a Point-To-Multipoint (PTM) transmission, and initiating a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) solution in the UE for coexistence interference avoidance, wherein the TDM solution defines one or more scheduling periods and one or more unscheduled periods, and the UE stops receiving the MBMS service via the PTM transmission when the TDM solution is initiated in the UE.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed to avoid in-device coexistence interference in a user equipment (UE) that is equipped with a first radio based on LTE radio technology or LTE-Advance radio technology, and a second radio based on an alternate radio technology. In one embodiment, the method comprises including an assistant information in a UE Capability Information message sent to an evolved node B (eNB) for in-device coexistence interference avoidance.

Abstract: Methods and an apparatus for Secondary Cell (SCell) release during User Equipment (UE) handover comprises including information by a source eNB in a HandoverPreparationInformation message for a target eNB to control SCell release in the UE during handover, or including an indicator by a target eNB in a handover command for the UE to distinguish whether or not to release all configured SCells.

Abstract: A method for enhancing receiving efficiency of a multimedia broadcast multicast service, know as MBMS, in a wireless communications system includes setting an indicator for indicating whether an MBMS service is transmitted on an MBSFN, an abbreviation of MBMS over a Single Frequency Network, carrier or not, and sending the indicator to a user equipment of the wireless communications system.
