Abstract: A method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource in long term evolution (LTE) are disclosed. An indication of the release of a downlink (DL) persistent resource is received by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) from an evolved Node-B (eNB) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A positive acknowledgement (ACK) is transmitted by the WTRU which denotes that the indication has been received. The PDCCH or a medium access control (MAC) CE may be used by the eNB to signal the indication. At least one bit may be added to contents of the PDCCH to signal whether the PDCCH is for DL persistent or dynamic resource allocation. The DL persistent resource is then released and an indication that the DL persistent resource has been released is transmitted.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enhancements to Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) to enable a last hop router (LHR) to perform source discovery and directly build or join a source tree. According to the techniques of this disclosure, the LHR builds a communication channel with a rendezvous point (RP) router and requests source information for at least one multicast group for which the LHR has interested receivers. The RP responds to the request by looking into a register database maintained by the RP and sending source information indicating at least one source that is actively providing traffic for the at least one multicast group. Based on the response, the LHR initiates a (S,G) PIM Join message toward the at least one source for the at least one multicast group to directly build or join at least one source tree.

Abstract: A method of reducing interference between wireless networks operating on channels with different bandwidths is proposed. One wireless network operates on a narrow band channel while the other network operates on a wide band channel that overlaps the narrow band channel. The method involves communicating information regarding the wide band channel to the devices of the network operating on the narrow band channel. A device in the network operating on the wide band channel constructs a special frame that carries its network ID as well as information regarding the wide band channel that it is operating on, namely the center frequency and the channel bandwidth. The device then broadcasts this frame on the narrow band channel. In addition, this frame is protected from possible collision by preceding the transmission of the frame by protection frames on both the channels.
