Abstract: Embodiments of systems and techniques are described for determining inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) coverage for energy saving management (ESM). In some embodiments, a network management (NM) apparatus may determine that a source cell of a network of a first RAT is triggered to activate an energy saving state and that the source cell is partially overlapped by each of a plurality of cells of one or more networks of one or more RATs different from the first RAT. The NM apparatus may instruct the source cell to activate the energy saving state when a combination of the plurality of cells provides coverage of the source cell. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure present frame structures to support a plurality of standards, such as the IEEE 802.11ac in addition to the IEEE 802.11a/b/n/g. Preamble of the frame structure can be used by a receiver to detect transmission mode of the packet.

Abstract: A method and system are provided in which a device that is operable to handle WiFi communication and WiMAX communication may receive downlink medium access protocol (MAP) information in a downlink sub-frame of a WiMAX frame and disable WiFi transmission during a portion of the downlink sub-frame based on the downlink MAP information. The disabled WiFi transmission may be enabled after data within the downlink sub-frame is decoded. The device may also receive uplink MAP information in the downlink sub-frame and may control a clear channel assessment associated with the WiFi transmission based on the uplink MAP information. The MAP information may comprise data or burst profile information and/or one or more physical control messages. A similar time domain approach may be utilized for coexistence between WiFi and long term evolution (LTE) coexistence, Bluetooth and WiMAX, and Bluetooth and LTE. Frame aggregation may be enabled to alleviate pending WiFi traffic.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for allowing a mobile device to roam from a first frequency band to a second frequency band for a dual band access point when a signal strength associated with the first frequency band improves. For example, the mobile device may store a first signal strength associated with the first frequency band when the mobile device first connects to the first frequency band and may monitor subsequent signal strengths to determine if they exceed the first signal strength. When a subsequent signal strength exceeds the first signal strength, the mobile device may use this as an indication that the mobile device is closer to the access point and within range of the second frequency band. The mobile device may then detect and connect to the second frequency band.

Abstract: Frame formatting for communications within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. A signal is processed within a communication device using at least two respective downclocking ratios (e.g., a first downclocking ratio applied to a first portion of the signal such as a frame or packet extracted there from, a second downclocking ratio applied to a second portion of the signal). Alternatively, a signal is divided into more than two respective portions, and different respective downclocking ratios are applied to those different respective portions (e.g., a first downclocking ratio applied to a first portion of the signal, and so on up to an n-th downclocking ratio applied to an n-th portion of the signal). Some implementations apply a singular or common downclocking ratio to more than one portion of the signal (which may be contiguous/adjacent or non-contiguous/non-adjacent within the signal).

The network apparatus is capable of configuring cells to correspond to the component carriers, grouping the cells into cell groups, each including cells less than or equal to a predetermined number, selecting one from the cells to be a primary cell for each cell group, and receiving a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on an uplink (UL) CC of the primary cell for one of the at least one CG.

Abstract: UE 100 receives, when a connection with eNB 200 is established by the UE 100, from the eNB 200, preamble information indicating a random access preamble to be used in a random access procedure when establishing again a connection with the eNB 200. The UE 100 holds, without discarding, the preamble information even when the UE 100 establishes a connection with AP 300 and releases the connection with the eNB 200.

The present invention can be used to quickly re-establish a network connection, and can be applied to a situation in which a serving gateway and a data gateway are integrated.

Abstract: Disclosed are a repeater for receiving signals from a base station in a wireless communication system, and a signal receiving method. The base station reports, to each repeater, information on the aggregation level of a relay-control channel element (R-CCE) of a relay-physical downlink control channel (R-PDCCH) via an explicit signaling method or implicit signaling method. In the event the base station reports via an explicit signaling method, the repeater receives, from the base station, information on the aggregation level of R-CCE which is a transmission unit of R-PDCCH, wherein the information contains control information for the repeater. Then, the repeater decodes an R-PDCCH region on an R-CCE aggregation level basis in accordance with the received R-CCE aggregation level information.

The filter estimates coefficients for a subset of Resource Elements transmitted on the wireless communication channel. The subset is chosen depending on the determined channel condition. An interpolating circuit interpolates the estimated coefficients for Resource Elements that are not included in the subset.
