Abstract: A multiple wireless access technology capable (WAT-capable) wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) includes a registration message generator configured to generate a registration message indicating that the WTRU is configured to communicate using an IEEE 802.11x technology. The WTRU also includes a transmitter configured to send the registration message via an IEEE 802.11x WLAN to a cellular network during registration with the cellular network, and a receiver configured to receive services from the cellular network via the WLAN. The registration message further indicates that the WTRU is configured to receive Short Message Service (SMS) messages from the cellular network via the WLAN. The WTRU receiver receives services that include Short Message Service (SMS) messages.
Abstract: A combined open loop and closed loop (channel quality indicator (CQI)-based) transmit power control (TPC) scheme with interference mitigation for a long term evolution (LTE) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The transmit power of the WTRU is derived based on a target signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) and a pathloss value. The pathloss value pertains to the downlink signal from a serving evolved Node-B (eNodeB) and includes shadowing. An interference and noise value of the serving eNodeB is included in the transmit power derivation, along with an offset constant value to adjust for downlink (DL) reference signal power and actual transmit power. A weighting factor is also used based on the availability of CQI feedback.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed relating to ciphering and de-ciphering of packet units in wireless devices during retransmission in wireless communications. The packet units are re-segmented with the ciphering done on the re-segmented packet unit or on a radio link control protocol data unit (RLC PDU) with or without segmentation. Alternatively, the re-segmentation is done on the radio link control service data unit (RLC SDU) with or without segmentation. Alternatively, the ciphering process and multiplexing of the RLC PDU is done in the medium access control (MAC) layer of a MAC PU before undergoing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for retransmission. Further, the ciphering process in the RLC is done on a packet data convergence protocol packet data unit (PDCP PDU).

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to configure a set of hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) processes. The WTRU is configured to receive information which limits a particular MAC-d flow to accessing a limited set of H-ARQ processes. The WTRU is configured to determine whether a first H-ARQ process from the set of H-ARQ processes is available for transmitting EU data in a transmit time interval (TTI). The WTRU is configured to determine whether the particular MAC-d flow has access to the first H-ARQ process, based on the information received. The WTRU is configured to transmit data from the particular MAC-d flow in the TTI using the first H-ARQ process, on a condition that the first H-ARQ process is available for transmitting EU data in the TTI and that the particular MAC-d flow has access to the first H-ARQ process.

Reception of capability information of the first UE is further disclosed. A database may be configured to store the security association data of the first UE, the MSISDN identifier of the first UE, the IP address of the first UE, and the capability information of the first UE. Transmitting, to a second UE, an indication of whether the second UE is or is not capable of IP based short message communication with the first UE is further disclosed.
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may detect a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal. The secondary synchronization signal may be derived from a shift of a sequence and sectors and cells may have different shifts of the sequence. A UE may determine, based on the detected primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal, an identity of a cell.

Abstract: A method for multi-band operation by a first transmit/receive unit (TRU) is disclosed. The method may comprise monitoring a plurality of frequency bands including a first band and a second band. A first beacon may be received on the first band and a determination may be made, based on the received first beacon, of a first beacon period start time. The first beacon period start time may correspond to beacons transmitted by the second TRU. A second beacon period start time may be determined, based on the received first beacon, wherein the second beacon period start time corresponds to a beacon for transmission by the first TRU. A beacon signal may be transmitted in a second band, by the first TRU, wherein the beacon signal is timing aligned with beacon signals of the second TRU. The first band and the second band may be adjacent radio bands.

Abstract: Service data is transferred in a wireless communication system. A first service identification is transmitted for reception by a group of users of a cell in the system. The group of users does not include all of the users of the cell. Each of the group of users receives the service identification. Each of the group of users monitors for a second service identification being transmitted over a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH). The service data is transmitted over the HS-DSCH with the second service identification. Each of the group of users detects the second service identification and receives the service data of the HS-DSCH.
