Abstract: Techniques described herein determine positioning of synchronization signal blocks. One or more implementations receive at least one synchronization signal in a synchronization signal block from a first network entity, and an indication from a second network entity. The indication from the second network entity can be used to determine synchronization signal block positioning, such as time location(s). In turn, various implementations communicate with the first network entity based, at least in part, on the determined synchronization signal block(s).

Abstract: Embodiments of beamformed physical downlink control channel (B-PDCCH) are generally described herein. A user equipment (UE) decodes an indication of a transmission mode for a beamformed physical downlink control channel (B-PDCCH) received from a network entity. The UE decodes one or more symbol blocks corresponding to a downlink (DL) control region of a subframe, wherein the DL control region includes one or more control clusters, and wherein one discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading window is applied in each of the one or more control clusters. The UE determines a B-PDCCH search space according to the indicated transmission mode, wherein the B-PDCCH search space is a set of B-PDCCH candidate locations. The UE performs blind decoding of one or more B-PDCCHs based on the determined B-PDCCH search space, to obtain downlink control information transmitted from one or more evolved NodeBs (eNBs) to the UE via the one or more B-PDCCHs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for establishing maximum transmission power. The present invention comprises: receiving an RRC message including a user equipment-specific maximum transmission power value established by a first base station or a second base station; reestablishing maximum output power based on the user equipment specific maximum transmission power value; and simultaneously transmitting an uplink to the first base station or the second base station within the reestablished maximum output power. The user equipment-specific maximum transmission power value is established for each of the first base station and the second base station, and the sum of the user equipment-specific maximum transmission power value for the first base station and the user equipment-specific maximum transmission power value for the second base station is less than or equal to a maximum output power value for the user equipment.

Abstract: In order to reduce interference between cells through hopping and use frequencies in a good propagation situation, a scheduler section carries out scheduling for determining to which user data should be sent using CQI from each communication terminal apparatus, selects a user signal to be sent in the next frame and determines in which subcarrier block the data should be sent. An MCS decision section selects a modulation scheme and coding method from the CQI of the selected user signal. A subcarrier block selection section selects a subcarrier block instructed by the scheduler section 102 for each user signal. For the respective subcarrier blocks, FH sequence selection sections select hopping patterns. A subcarrier mapping section maps the user signal and control data to subcarriers according to the selected hopping pattern.

A method for generating interference/non-interference station lists includes receiving a first frame from a second station, acquiring a receiver address of the first frame from the first frame, and setting, based on whether to receive a second frame that is a response to the first frame from a third station indicated by the receiver address within a preset time from a time when the first frame has been received, the third station as an interference station or a non-interference station. Therefore, the performance of a communication system may be improved.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a segment routing and tunnel exchange provides packet forwarding efficiencies in a network, including providing an exchange between a segment routing domain and a packet tunnel domain. One application includes the segment routing and tunnel exchange interfacing segment routing packet forwarding (e.g., in a Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and/or 5-G user plane) and packet tunnel forwarding in access networks (e.g., replacing a portion of a tunnel between an access node and a user plane function for accessing a corresponding data network). In one embodiment, a network provides mobility services using a segment routing data plane that spans segment routing and tunnel exchange(s) and segment routing-enabled user plane functions. One embodiment uses the segment routing data plane without any modification to a (radio) access network (R)AN (e.g., Evolved NodeB, Next Generation NodeB) nor to user equipment (e.g., any end user device).

Abstract: Techniques to support positioning for access points and terminals in WLANs and other wireless networks are described. In one aspect, WLAN positioning is supported with Secure User Plane Location (SUPL). A terminal obtains measurements for an access point in a WLAN and/or receives measurements made by the access point for the terminal. The terminal determines WLAN AP information for the access point and/or the terminal based on the measurements and sends the WLAN AP information to a SUPL Location Platform (SLP). The SLP determines a location estimate for the terminal based on the WLAN AP information. In another aspect, the terminal receives supported network information from the SLP. The terminal obtains network measurement information (e.g., measurements) for a radio access network and determines which particular network measurement information to send based on the supported network information. The terminal sends network measurement information permitted by the supported network information to the SLP.

Abstract: A user-operated communication device stores security association information that is initially used to wirelessly connect the user-operated communication device to a first wireless access point made available by a first private wireless network service provider. Assume that the user-operated communication device roams out of a first wireless coverage region supported by the first wireless access point into wireless range of a second wireless access point operated by a second private wireless network service provider. Instead of performing full authentication to establish a wireless communication link with the second wireless access point, the user-operated communication device requests authentication resumption and utilizes the stored security association information (provided by the first service provider) to more quickly, wirelessly connect the communication device to the second wireless access point.

Abstract: Prefix entries are efficiently stored at a networking device for performance of a longest prefix match against the stored entries. A prefix entry generally refers to a data entry which maps a particular prefix to one or more actions to be performed by a networking device with respect to network packets or other data structures associated with a network packet that matches the particular prefix. In the context of a router networking device handling a data packet, the one or more actions may include, for example, forwarding a received network packet to a particular “next hop” networking device in order to progress the network packet towards its final destination, applying firewall rule(s), manipulating the packet, and so forth. To reduce a total amount of space occupied by a prefix tree in storage, each of the nodes of a prefix tree may be configured to store only an incremental portion of a prefix relative to its parent node.
