Abstract: A method and an apparatus for activating and deactivating secondary cells in a carrier aggregation environment are provided. In one embodiment, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) command is received from a base station for activating/deactivating a secondary cell associated with a User Equipment (UE). The secondary cell configured for the UE is activated/deactivated based on the MAC CE command. Further, a first uplink grant is received from the base station upon activation/deactivation of the secondary cell. Accordingly, quality information (e.g., channel quality information, sounding reference signal information, and the like) associated with the cell(s) is transmitted to the base station in the received first uplink grant over a physical uplink shared channel. Furthermore, a hybrid automatic repeat request entity associated with the secondary cell is reset.

Abstract: A system and method to instruct a User Equipment (UE) how Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) should be transmitted with carrier aggregation. A semi-static signaling of a UCI mapping bit (via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter) is used by a base station such as an eNodeB to require the UE to transmit UCI using one of two pre-determined UCI transmission modes. The bit can be decided by the base station, considering, for example, the available bandwidth or quality of different Uplink Component Carriers (UL CCs) associated with the UE. This network-based solution allows the network to either configure a general rule of UCI transmission by the UE or to enforce the UCI transmission on the Uplink Primary cell (UL Pcell). Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

The systems detect high resource use within a cell; identify a shared downlink resource channel for the user device, wherein machine-type communication (MTC) data for the user device uses BPSK modulation; identify non-MTC data requiring downlink transmission to a device within the cell; and send the non-MTC data over the shared downlink resource channel, and on a resource pre-allocated for the user device, using a different modulation level.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor. The code causes the processor to receive, from a source peripheral processing device, a portion of a data packet having a destination address associated with a destination peripheral processing device. The code causes the processor to identify, based on the destination address, a service to be performed on the portion of the data packet. The code causes the processor to select, based on the service, an identifier of a service module associated with the service. The code further causes the processor to send the portion of the data packet to the service module via a distributed switch fabric such that the service module performs the service on the portion of the data packet and sends the portion of the data packet to the destination peripheral processing device via the distributed switch fabric.

Alternatively, if the transmission of the first data packet during the first transmission time interval was not successful, a third data packet is transmitted. The third data packet includes data that includes at least a portion of the data of the first data packet.
