The method comprises: determining a resource on an unlicensed carrier for transmitting an SRS; and transmitting the SRS according to the determined resource. The invention solves a problem in the prior art in which transmitting an SRS on an unlicensed carrier is less feasible, thereby increasing feasibility of transmitting an SRS on an unlicensed carrier. Also disclosed are an SRS reception method, an apparatus, a system, and a storage medium.

Abstract: A light-weight solution for media handovers between different Radio Access Technologies (RAT) is provided. A user may switch from Wi-Fi to Cellular Data (e.g., LTE/4G/3G/ . . . ), from Cellular data to Wi-Fi, and the like. In contrast to a “make-before-break” design for switching between RATs, the technologies described herein are a “break-before-make” design. When a change in a RAT is detected, an application on the computing device utilizing the connection is notified of the change. Instead of removing connection information, the connection is maintained for a configurable period of time such that the application can re-register with the network to continue the communication session. During a transition to a second RAT, the application provides one or more notifications to the user of the change in RAT. For instance, a graphical user interface (GUI) can be displayed showing the change and/or a tone can be played indicating the change in the RAT.

The wireless device may transmit the one or more transport blocks in the uplink resources starting from the starting position of the uplink subframe.

Abstract: A method and system for increasing the collection of network traffic data in a network based on the occurrence of predetermined criteria. A network appliance manages network traffic in the network and passes data traffic on the network. Network traffic data is collected based on the data traffic passing through the network appliance at a normal level. It is determined whether the network traffic data indicates an abnormal condition. The collection of network traffic data is increased through the network traffic appliance when an abnormal condition is detected. The network traffic data from the increased collection is stored in a memory device.

Abstract: Techniques and examples of reservation of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) resources in UCI in wireless communications are described. Accordingly, a UE determines how a HARQ-ACK is to be transmitted to a network node of a wireless network. The UE reserves HARQ-ACK resources among a plurality of resource elements (REs) for a two-bit HARQ-ACK based on a result of the determining. The UE then transmits the HARQ-ACK, having zero bit, one bit or two bits, to the network node in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using the reserved HARQ-ACK resources such that the PUSCH is punctured for the HARQ-ACK.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may experience poor communication with a network access device, and the network access device may configure the UE to connect to, and route communications through, one or more relay nodes (e.g., which may be another UE, a network operator-deployed relay, etc.). Techniques are described whereby these relay nodes may autonomously form a wireless backhaul network. Sequential implementations are considered such that the size of the wireless backhaul network may scale efficiently. In some examples, the wireless backhaul network may form by reusing existing connectivity establishment procedures. Importantly, the proposed techniques enable a relay to possess (e.g., be configured with) functionality that may traditionally be associated with a UE, base station, and gateway. Such multi-faceted functionality may enable the described sequential formation of wireless backhaul networks with tree topology.
