Abstract: Independent signalling method for bearer management in a communication network with transporting bearer resource request message of both the UE and RN via Base station to managing entity of RN within EPC, as a signalling message over uplink channel referred to as ‘Union of Resource Request (UR Request)’ message. The bearer resource response message referred to as ‘Independent Admission Response (IA Response)’ from one of the management entity of EPE or management entities of UE and RN within EPC are transported as a signalling message to Evolved Packet Edge (EPE) via Base station over the downlink channel. This manages bearer setup signalling as a single loop, by transportation of ‘UR Request’ signalling message and receiving one “Independent Admission Response” signalling message over uplink and downlink channels respectively. EPE is a conglomeration of network nodes comprising of UEs, RNs and all other network nodes that communicate over EPC via Base station.

Abstract: When a first node cannot hear a second node, the second node is “hidden” to the first node. In response to receiving a trigger frame, the two nodes may inadvertently transmit response frames at approximately the same time. The response frames may collide with each other, thereby causing delays in node discovery in a NAN. Provided herein are methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing collisions in wireless communication. In some configurations, nodes may receive trigger frames that indicate a reduction in the rate that response frames are transmitted when traffic load conditions are high. In some configurations, nodes located in different coverage areas (e.g., a “hidden area” and a “non-hidden area”) may transmit response frames at different times. In some configurations, the nodes may refrain from transmitting their response frames upon hearing that another node having a higher serving preference rank is transmitting.

Abstract: A first transmission device transmits a signal to a third transmission device by using an active line and a spare line. The first transmission device includes a CRC generator and an SN adder. The CRC generator calculates the CRC value of the signal.

Abstract: Conventional positioning methods based on measurements of wireless device transmissions may fail to account for adjustments to uplink transmit timing made by the wireless device. Problems caused by this failure may become even more severe when multiple timing advances are applied on different carriers, in multi-carrier operation where the carriers are non-co-located. One example method for handling timing measurements used for positioning, according to several of the techniques detailed herein, begins with obtaining (810) one or more timing measurement values for timing measurements performed on radio signals transmitted by a wireless device. Information related to one or more transmit timing adjustments applied to radio signal transmissions by a wireless device is also obtained (820). Finally, one or more of the timing measurement values are compensated (830) with a compensation value, based on the obtained information related to the one or more transmit timing adjustments applied by the wireless device.
