Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for transmitting and receiving control information in the common search space on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH). According to some embodiments, a cellular base station may allocate some resource blocks of a subframe as the EPDCCH. The cellular base station may provide control information on a common search space in the EPDCCH for wireless user equipment (UE) devices in the cell provided by the cellular base station during a subframe. A UE device may monitor the EPDCCH to determine whether any indication on the common search space decodable by the UE device is contained in the EPDCCH, and may decode such information if present.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for managing historically large flows in network visibility monitoring. In some implementations, provided is an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may be operable to receive packet information describing a packet at the cycle of a clock input. The packet may be associated with a packet flow being transmitted across a network. The integrated circuit may further generate keys using information identifying a packet flow provided by the packet information. The integrated circuit may further read values for counters and state information associated with each counter from a memory, using the keys. The integrated circuit may further determine from the state information that the packet flow identified by the packet information is a historically large packet flow. Upon determining that the packet flow is a historically large packet flow, the integrated circuit may further update an entry in a flow memory using the packet information.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). A method for transmitting a device to device (D2D) discovery signal by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system supporting a D2D scheme is provided. The method includes determining transmission power for D2D discovery signal transmission, and transmitting a D2D discovery signal using the transmission power, wherein the transmission power is determined by considering a cell at which the D2D discovery signal is transmitted.
Abstract: The first radio network node transmits a request to a core network node for initiation of the automatic neighbour detection. In response to the request, the core network node selects at least one second radio network node based on geographical information. The first radio network node also transmits, to the user equipment, an instruction to transmit an uplink signal. The user equipment transmits the uplink signal based on the instruction. The core network node transmits, to said at least one second radio network node, a command instructing said at least one second radio network node to listen for the uplink signal. In response to the command, the second radio network node listens for the uplink signal from the user equipment. Then, the second radio network node transmits, a message relating to whether the second radio network node is neighbouring to the first radio network node.
Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and apparatus for performing fractional subframe transmission.
